Hickey’s -Slide work?
Posted: Wed Jan 27, 2021 6:14 pm
Hi all:
Over the years, I’ve shopped occasionally with Hickey’s with great results, including a well loved early version BAM Classic Bass Trombone case that fit my Edwards like they were made for each other!
My daughter is now a grad student in geophysics at Cornell, and I will be visiting her sometime this late winter. I am also taking the Edwards out of mothballs after my day job got in the way of playing for a few years, but I have recently retired from said day job.
My long winded point is that the slide (Edwards dual bore bass with nickel sleeves) could use a service and alignment, and that would couple nicely with a visit to Ithaca to see my daughter.
I have no experience with (or anecdote about) Hickey’s technicians. Anybody out there have any experience with them on slides? What do you think?
Thanks!!
