New Products

Not every new product is good enough to make it onto our shelves…

There are hundreds of new products being introduced every year but for a product to be accepted into the inventory at J.L. Smith it has to be good enough to make a real difference to the quality of work we do or the quality of life we lead as craftspeople and technicians. At J.L. Smith we’re continually searching for great new products that will make the world a better, brighter place for woodwind technicians and the musicians they serve. Our product research team scans the globe to locate and source innovative products of every variety and when we find something we like, even if it challenges our thinking, we’ll give it a chance and put it to the ultimate real world test in our own shop… one of the toughest and most exacting woodwind shops in the world. If it makes life better or easier or more profitable for our technicians we know it will do the same for others and it will earn its place in our inventory. When we introduce a new product to our customers we know, and they know, it lives up to its promise.

JLS Brace Squeezer

We've re-introduced our JLS Brace Squeezer. The squeezer is designed to shorten a "fixed" style (non-telescoping) brace in order to properly align parts.
Think of the critical alignment of slide tubes, such as the third slide on a trumpet. If the brace is too tall, there is no way to align the slide - hence the Brace Squeezer.
