That is funny, Chrissie!!! I had to practice that valve flick a bit to get it right. Even a little more than just a tiny press will goof it up. ...

Over the years I have moved on to using larger and larger mouthpieces, going from the 24,7mm of the Bach 7C when I started with the euphonium, to the...

Congrats Barry, Looking forward to reading your impressions of this French tuba, and may be hear a clip of it. If I remember correctly, the Wessex...

The half valve approach is definitely very handy! Thank you for the video! After watching it, against all common sense, I tried to do it while I was...

One of my fellow euph players in one of my bands actually went down in size from a 3AL to a 4AL, mostly because it was just that much easier to play...

Unprofessional and Unpopular Opinion: 24mm is big enough. There's a lot to say about cup volume, and I consider it the most important thing. ...

yep, I’ve always wanted one of these! I’ll let you all know when I get it.

I find a substantial difference on the DE between the 103 and 104, particularly if I get the "S" rim. (ex. 104S) I find the 103 works pretty well...

I'm not sure I agree - Even with Doug Elliott, Going from a 105 to 106 on the same cup/shank combo is a more than subtle difference for me. That...

Did someone here grab this? Would love to hear some feedback if so!

Thanks Dave.

The slides may be pulled to show their condition (and the fact that they are not frozen). Many sellers do that. This is a Bb euphonium.

Thanks for the encouragement! I'm truly enjoying my journey thus far.

Good Job, Bill!! Keep at it. Making music never gets old or goes out of style!!

My chops have stayed right around 26mm for the last 40 years. I have found that going any larger than a Wick 4 (any version) just doesn't work. And...

The rim size is (mostly) immaterial, it's the total volume that influences the sound. I say mostly, because there is some difference, but it's more...

I know Steven Mead is talking about downsizing lately. When I first got to know him, while we were both Sterling artists, he was using a 2AL...

When I used to take lessons with Roger Behrend, I brought in a bunch of pieces to try out with my Willson 2900. The two he liked best where a 51D...

The exception that proves the rule is Walter Barrett, who uses a Doug Elliott 114 rim with his Yamaha 641 (modified with a trigger). I don't know the...

It was a vogue in brass band circles a while back but generally the bigger the mouthpiece the worse the sound in my opinion. The 4AL 26mm mouthpiece...

Well, I'll be!!! I certainly don't admit to knowing everything there is to know about euphonium playing, but I have heard over the years most of...

I appreciate the hilarity of that!

There's a cool podcast that these two guys in Berlin do, it's called the "Best Ever Brass Instrument Makers Podcast." I think I have the details of...
