I agree with Larry that it’s more likely an embouchure issue. Either that or you need less pressure on the mouthpiece and more support from the...

hmm...Site compromised and propagating malware? What site? Evidence? G.

I guess I need to get my trombones, trumpet, harmonicas, bass guitars, and various percussion instruments documented.

A double buzz is going to, primarily, be an embouchure issue. (Whether the horn could possibly amplify the issue, I’m not sure.) There is a good...

I have the Mead/Wick travel mute and am quite happy with it. I ALSO have the Yamaha "Silent Brass" system which is a ton of fun to play around...

I have both Wick practice mutes - the regular (the large black one) may be slightly better in tune, but it isn't as easy to blow, and it isn't that...

Welcome to the forum! If you have a chance to play an E1, I suppose you could try one. The E1 has a slightly smaller sound, so that might help...

Doug, I knew you were a picker, too!! Just like those guys on TV (American Picker). I just can't quite bear to part with anything I have right...

I was toying with the idea, I really, really used to have a set of bagpipes and Linda and I went to bagpipe classes for a while. But, alas, they are...

My list looks just like John Morgan's, except it only has the first two items from part 1 of his posting. That's it!!!! (It was not always thus...) ...

Nice John. If you show us a picture of bagpipes I think I'll unsubscribe from this thread. :rolleyes:

Instruments (and other stuff) Part 2 Hohner Harmonica and Bird Whistle Beater but a Keeper Euphonium (this one I will put on the bell) ...

Instruments (and other stuff) Part 1 Okay, I should have been on this post sooner, but here goes. Adams E3 Euphonium, arguably the world's...

You're so right Scott! Pretty sure you've seen his performance of "The King's Gambit". He makes it sound so easy!

Here are a couple of examples where it shows that he is using the JP274: (2) Lyrical EUPHONIUM SOLO "Peer Gynt" by Enzo De Rosa. PLAY ALONG!!! -...

He definitely has an arrangement with DF Music, and at the end of the video is a promo where you can get an instrument, Denis Wick practice mute, and...

I don’t believe he uses a JP274 on all his recordings..but it is his backup horn and he also does have an arrangement with DF Music where he promotes...

Well, there is a reason someone invented the word "coincidence." I was going through a FB page for my home town and found this photo. It shows a horn...

I've been using Yamaha's regular synthetic oil for years now and it's worked great for me. I've also had success with Blue Juice but I find that the...

I'm using the Yahama vintage old now. I had probably used Al Cass from day one...

Cpoet89, Which oil did you end up using?

Which oil did you end up using?

The 3-valve and 4-valve bell front Bessons played virtually as well as any of the bell up horns. David's example is a superb example and quite rare...

Well, Dawkes said the 1000 series will fit my BE-165, so I ordered a set ... we'll see. They have to order them, so it'll be a little while--not...

It's easier when you're not a professional with expectations. You just get a craving for a certain sound or feel and doodle away. All about...
