The excellent technical properties of carbon fiber make it ideal for use in lightweight
construction in the aviation and space industries, as well as in automobile and bicycle design.
Additionally, in instrument construction, tests have proven that the advantages of carbon fiber
make it suitable for use in designing lightweight trombone slides.

Why not make use of these advantages and switch to a HAAG carbon fiber slide!

Due to the very lightweight property of carbon (about half the weight of a conventional slide)
only a fraction of the required strength is needed to change tones.

The even and highly compressed inside surface of the carbon slide guarantees extremely
smooth slide characteristics. The time required to change slide positions is massively reduced.

Due to its low density (4 to 5 times lower than steel) and enormously high rigidity,
carbon fiber is especially suitable for lightweight construction. The accurate alignment
of the fibers effects a much higher stability than steel. Dents and deformations are
unknown to these slides, simply because they are impossible!

Carbon is absolutely resistant to corrosion caused by gastric acids or fats.
No chemical corrosion can take place as it can using a brass slide.
Residue can easily be removed with conventional cleaning fluids.

Just on time for the Frankfurt music exhibition Musik Haag of Switzerland has come up with a worldwide novelty. Trombone slides made of carbon! Carbon is an ideal material for lightweight instrument building due to its density and enormous stability. An extremely easy approach of the tone and the soft sound are musical advantages over the conventional slide material. The light-weight-effect is assured.The drive when pulling and pushing is retained. The surface quality guarantees perfect sliding characteristics. In the future dents are completely avoided due to high stability carbon fiber used for these slides. The carbon slide requires minimal maintenance and yet the mechanical wear is substancially lower compared to slides of traditional materials.
