I've played on my friend's Yamaha Neo and I've tried numerous others, I've gravitated more towards the Yamaha. I just don't like it when others...

Please don't get upset, what we are saying is your 'sound' is around 80% you, and some 20% your axe. We all need that 20% advantage, even after...

I see what you are saying but in terms of American sound I'm talking about that warm, dark, and velvety sound they produce. Of course I know that the...

Well, Brian Bowman gets his "American" sound with a Swiss Willson, and Adam Frey gets his "American" sound with a Japanese Yamaha.

Okay, so then if not over 2k, I'm probably going to list it around the 1.8k range, I'm hoping that's a bit more fair

Well, so much for that idea!

I currently use the BB1

Some nice person on Facebook apparently captured the screen for the answer:

Yeah, I sense that we're all really bored . . . Steve

That's pretty much what I expected. In that case, I'd be inclined to use some sort of strong bonding agent (glue -- probably an epoxy). Or better,...

Definitely.

Mostly at the joints of tubing and valves. DG

Beautiful!!

Bag still for sale. Can email photos to serious buyers. bmjones82@gmail.com Thanks!

Just as a matter of curiosity, WHERE are the leaks? It's just hard for me to imagine choosing silicone seal to solve any particular leak problems...

BUMP. Still have one large shank silver plated BB1 mouthpiece for sale.

Sorry for the confusion, all my fault. Mine is a piston valve euphonium. The piston valve tuba is very similar.

Thanks for the nice comments guys!

Phenomenal!!!

Superb! DG
