I think what is meant is the 'female' portion of the slide mechanism - not a particular location on the instrument. Some brands have a different type of metal on the inner part (the 'male' part) than on the outer part.
One tube might be regular brass, and the other part nickel-silver. _________________ Most Important Note ? - the next one !
KNOW (see) what the next note is BEFORE you have to play it.
PLAY the next note 'on time' and 'in rhythm'.
Oh ya, watch the conductor - they set what is 'on time'. |

Thanks and sorry for the late reply.
About the materials, does nickel-silver contains silver ? despite it's name, I read that it doesn't contain silver. |

---------------------
Nickel-silver (also sometimes called German Silver) does not typically contain actual silver. It is called that because it has a 'silver appearance'.
"Nickel silver, a range of alloys of copper, nickel, and zinc which are silvery in appearance but contain no silver. Its composition varies from 7 to 30 percent nickel, the alloy most widely used being called '18 percent nickel silver'
(18 percent nickel, 62 percent copper, 20 percent zinc)." _________________ Most Important Note ? - the next one !
