I've picked up a Blessing Artist valve trombone that's a lot of fun to play as it is. But sometimes it would be nice to have a slide. Anyone have one? Please email me at spetrangelo at proton dottt me or give me a call at 949-422-7338.
Thx, Steve

Ok, let me ask this in a different way. Is there a compatible slide from a different manufacturer that will fit on my Blessing?

Thanks for the response Matt. The bell says Blessing followed by Artist on the second line with Elkhart - Ind on the third. It would seem that Artist is the model. There's a place in the case for a slide, probably an extra cost option.

I might have a slide that’s compatible. Im a little surprised there isn’t a model number somewhere. Maybe B150. Can you take a closeup of the valve block tenon (the part that you put in the bell section and then the screw ring slides down on it and keeps the two parts attached).

Thanks Matt but there's no number anywhere on this instrument except the serial number and the 1 2 3 on the valve casings. I think maybe I'll just find a Blessing of similar vintage and buy the instrument and then hope that the slide will fit. I've seen some out there pretty inexpensive. Good idea or not?
