Tuning slide cords

Post by BBruce107 »

Hello Everyone, I am curious where I could find some tuning slide cords for my slides on my CC and F tuba. I see them on the Melton tubas and was curious if those were available on the marketplace or if its just something I would find at a repair shop. Thanks in advance for any leads!

Black dress shoelaces, skinny paracord, leather thongs, they all work. It is not some special material. I think the MW stuff is 3mm black paracord.
