“The slide is so smooth and light that sometimes I forget it’s there! It is indestructible and also looks great! I highly recommend Colter's work."

"Slotting is better than any other slide I've tried! Notes just lock in immediately, and the tone is like a laser beam! Really outstanding! I already love it, and no doubt, it will be my favorite go-to option!

Welcome To The Future.
Nothing else compares. That’s the point.
Welcome to the lab — where tradition ends and something unexpected begins.
These slides don’t just feel different — they are different.
Built from a fusion of bold elements and an obsession with feel, precision, and fearless design, each slide dares to be different — in ways you’ll only understand once you play it.
You may not know exactly why it feels better. You’ll just know you’re never going back!
