Okay hive mind, help me out here.

I see that Bach has an LT slide for the 16 and the 42, but I cannot find one for the 36. Do they make an LT slide for the 36 and I just don't see it? And if they don't, is there someone who does?

Also, I love lightweight slides, and the ultimate is probably carbon fiber. But I've never played a carbon fiber slide. Does Butler or someone make a CF slide for the .525 Bach 36? And if so, is it a good thing or a bad thing?

:)

Yes, they do! I have one with my 36B, and it ain't going anywhere.

Yeah, as others have said, they do make them, it's just a question of finding one. They are definitely not nearly as popular as the model 42, so both new and used you are going to see tons more 42s than 36s. I also don't know if the slides are available separately. I've got an LT36B i bought as a demo instrument a year or two ago, and i love it.
