It looks to me like Brandt Attema has a Bluetooth controller on his slide in this video to turn the pages on his iPad.

Can anyone tell me what exactly this device is and if so, has anyone had any experience with it?

Hmm. I have no idea about the device, but ... if the presence or absence of a rubber slide-tip bumper (allegedly) alters the sound of a trombone, I can only imagine the changes imposed by this slide parasite!

By the way, very impressive recording! (No surprise there.)

The Flic button is what most people use.

I like the look and idea of this. What is the holder? Can it be bought from FLIC as well? Can you move it between slides or do you need one for holder for every slide?

Thanks,

I use this - made by a trombonist. If he doesn’t have your horn on the site, he’ll work with you to design one. Fits on the other end of the brace and toggled with your index finger. FLIC buttons sold separately, ordered from FLIC.

They are designed for specific horns, but mine will fit both my Rath R2 and my 88H. It was actually designed for an R10 that I used to own.
