Edwards trombones are available with either the standard weight or an optional heavier slide. The heavier slide is specified with the letter "N", which refers to nickel sleeves and end crook. These slides can provide darker sounds that hold together well at extreme forte volumes. All slides come with three interchangeable leadpipes.
The T-STD(N) is the standard .547 single bore slide. This slide has a round end crook similar to Conn slides. Quick in response, the T-STD blows freely in all registers. A very centered tone can be achieved with this slide.
