The answer to your first question is yes, mostly. The length of the horn and the fingerings are like a 3-valve F tuba (that is non-compensating), but...

It looks like Norwegian euphonium soloist Bente Illivold has switched to the new Shires euphonium. She posted about it on the Facebook page today....

Thanks for the info.

Yes, my co-founders and I are happy to listen to anyone who wants to join. Low brass section is all covered at this point, but that may change so...

Well, my goal is to have all the most appropriate instruments for all of the opportunities I might have to do playing with quality groups. No more,...

Then I shall try to follow in the path of a true collector Doug !!

Nick, I think Barry's goal is a horn for every day of every week of every month of every year! He is truly is an outlier. Don't forget the pipe...

Very true Barry, now that I’ve one for every day of the week, next goal is one for every month of the year:cool:

I see seven in his signature. That's what I call a "beginner" ;)

The upright bell will make this more attractive but there are quite a few of this model available with 4 valves which will reduce your price. My...

Haha, no Doug, I get the Reverb feed daily and thought I’d mention, and I will certainly post pictures once I get it back, thanks Doug !!!! By the...

you should be able to get the 274 for way less than $2000. Contact Joe sellmansberger at Mid south music. Of those three, it's the winner by a...

Nick, You have too many horns! Now looking at a York Eminence??? BTW, I heard your 25i bell is being lacquered today. I want a picture of the horn...

Is it open to public to join or try out?

based out of burke, va.

I spoke with Matt Walters at Dillon - The Eminence 4052 is on consignment, being sold by someone in Matt's community band that has moved to a Willson.

Where did you start the brass band? Mike

Found a JP373 for sale super cheap. Not my fave baritone ever, but it'll do the job. Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions!

You might to check on Tubenet: http://forums.chisham.com/ . You can search the for sale section and get an idea of the worth.

The one difference between the two is that the Wessex has a water key on the third valve slide, which is far better than pulling all the time. You...

It is a common problem for all baritones: the diameter of the smaller bore, compared to the euphonium, exacerbates the accumulation of condensation,...

On my Festivo, I've found that the 2nd valve is quite flat. I always have to play high A with 1-3. High G is problematic, 1-2 already is quite flat,...

That is a great idea. I think we do already have "The Music Man" in our library.

No one seems concerned with the start of a Euph, only the finish...:) DG

Ok, this is a lot to digest at once, and this being December, it isn't the season for messing around on a non-gigging double, but I reread Dave's...

Thanks, Rick. That's helpful.
