Standard and Lexan Valve Caps
Greenhoe Trombones and Greenhoe Conversions include Standard Valve Caps (left). The Lexan Cap with Retaining Ring (right) changes the response characteristics in a subtle and nuanced manner. Some players prefer the lexan for more “soloistic” playing.
Rest Bar
The Rest Bar is designed to reduce strain on the hand, wrist and forearm. Available in two sizes: Standard and Large.
Leadpipes
Greenhoe leadpipes are designed to give each player options in timbral and response characteristics. They are threaded to fit the mouthpiece receiver snugly. Greenhoe Handslides come with two interchangeable yellow brass leadpipes, designed for each specific trombone model.
Leadpipe materials:
Yellow brass: Traditional response and tone color.
Gold brass: Adds more color to sound profile.
Red brass: Darker tone with somewhat covered articulation.
Nickel silver: Tremendous clarity with a dense, full tone.
