Leather Slide Grips & Neck Guards

Leather Grips

    Hickey's Music stocks a large variety of leather slide grips and neckguards for many trombone makes & models. In order to make selecting the correct set easier for you, use the table below to locate your instrument and model. The table does not include options for bell color, weight or size (i.e. Bach 42B vs. Bach 42BG).

Please read all this stuff completely before ordering (or contacting us) so you know what to expect.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • If your trombone is not listed on the chart below, then guards are NOT available for it.
  • This chart is updated constantly and represents what we know to be true as of this moment.
  • We do not have measurements for these items, so we are unable to recommend guards for instruments not listed.
  • Models listed on this chart but not elsewhere on our website are believed to be out of stock. See below for how to order.
  • Please read the following paragraphs to better understand the situation.
The chart below represents the complete listing as we know it to exist at this moment in time. Model numbers are assigned to a specific make and model of instrument. They are not assigned according to the bore size of the instrument, its manufacturer or series, or its function in the orchestra — rather they are made according to the instrument's actual exterior physical dimensions, including slide width, lower slide tube diameter, slide brace diameter, slide brace length, absence or presence of "L" brackets on the slide brace, size and placement of slide brace ferrules, size and placement of valve (if any), location and diameter of valve tubing, position of the moon, the price of tea in China, etc. Also note that some instruments have only slide grips and that neckguards are not available. In these cases the abbreviation "n/a" is used in the table. If your instrument is not listed, but you know that it is the same in all these respects (moon and tea excepted) then you might consider ordering a set for the similar listed model. Do this only if you are sure (i.e., you've checked it with a ruler - don't guess).

Slide Grips typically lace on with a shoestring (included). These units feature a vapor barrier that prevents moisture from reaching the surface of the instrument. So far as we know, these will not effect the sound or response of the instrument, although they will of course make your slide grips feel thicker & softer.

Neck Guards typically use a velcro fastener to attach to the trombone. (Note: some neck guards use a lace-on design instead. This is not optional—if it uses velcro, then laces are not available and vice versa.) In addition, most neck guards have a small pencil pocket attached, allowing you to keep a short pencil on your horn for rehearsal purposes. These units feature a vapor barrier that prevents moisture from reaching the surface of the instrument. So far as we know, they will not effect the sound or response of the instrument.

Delivery Time - We carry many of these grips & guards in stock, and as such they are available for immediate delivery to you. However, due to lengthy backorders from the manufacturer, we are often sold out of certain models. If you see your desired catalog number elsewhere on this website, then we believe it to be in stock. If it is not listed, then we believe it to be out of stock...

Items we know to be out of stock will not display elsewhere on this website. They are shown on this page for informational purposes only. Since backorders can take a very long time, we do not list out-of-stock items to avoid setting up expectations that you will receive your order quickly. However, we are always happy to place out of stock items on backorder for you, so long as you keep in mind that the delay may be very long. If you are willing to wait two to six months for the order to be filled, then you can use our Custom Order page to order your grips.

Colors - All catalog numbers shown below are for black leather. Brown models (which use different catalog numbers) are also available, but almost every one will need to be special ordered (see Delivery Time above).

How To Order - There are three ways. Once you have located the correct part numbers for your instrument, you can go to the Leather Grips & Guards page, where you will see the list of what we believe is in stock (if a number is not listed, we don't believe it's in stock - see above). Or, you can use our Order By Catalog Number page and enter the numbers your record here directly. If the catalog number you enter doesn't work, that's because we've removed it from the website because we believe it's out of stock (see above). In these cases, you can use our Custom Order page so long as you understand that the backorder time can be an much as six months or more.
