What is the Extendabone Trombone Slide Extension Handle for?

This handle is designed to help trombone players, especially those with shorter arms, smaller hands, or mobility issues, comfortably reach the 6th and 7th slide positions. It extends the reach of your slide, making it easier to play lower notes without straining or adjusting your posture, and encourages proper playing technique.

Who can benefit from using the Extendabone?

The Extendabone is ideal for younger students, players with smaller hands, adults with short wingspans, older players with mobility issues, or anyone who finds reaching the 6th and 7th slide positions challenging. It allows for a more relaxed playing posture, reducing tension, and improving technique. Experienced players might also find it useful for specific ergonomic needs or extended playing sessions.

How do I attach the Extendabone to my trombone slide?

The Extendabone is designed for easy, tool-free attachment. It securely attaches to your trombone's handslide, providing a comfortable and extended grip. Its simple design ensures you can quickly put it on or take it off. When not in use, the handle folds backward, allowing players to practice normally without removing it, making it convenient for practice or performance.

What material is the Extendabone made from?

The Extendabone Trombone Slide Extension Handle is crafted from 100% recycled plastic. This durable and lightweight material ensures the handle is robust enough for regular use, provides a comfortable grip, and is also an environmentally conscious choice.

Is the Extendabone compatible with all trombones?

The Extendabone is designed to be widely compatible with most standard tenor and bass trombones. Its attachment mechanism allows it to fit various handslide designs. If you have a unique or non-standard trombone, a Sweetwater Sales Engineer can help confirm compatibility.
