I genuinely wish I'd been taught with Arban when I was younger (sometimes I forget I'm only 24, yikes), I feel like I'm missing so much finger speed...

Depending on your budget, you may be able to find a Yamaha 301M or 202M (the marching baritone and euphonium that Bluecoats use, both large shank)...

Mine's for sale elsewhere on the forum...I might be willing to ship to *you* if it doesn't break the bank. Jim

I have a 103E in pristine condition. See listing below. Jim

I would love to try a customizable mouthpiece but I simply do not have the budget for one. I can only really afford up to about $130. Also I am doing...

Hang in there Dennis! When "Banding" ceased and I had to put-down my Tuba Quartet, I picked up other musical interests to fill the gap. Last...

I saw the Bluecoats sell used horns. Not cheap but you would be playing something that they have used. Kind of says commitment. Drum corps is a...

Have you considered Doug Elliott? You can select a rim that feels like the 51D (101 size, according to his website) and select the cup and shank that...

Would this one fit the bill? The price seems pretty attractive, but this is not my field: ...

Thanks for the feedback. I messaged musicstore several times with no response which made me not inspired to give them my money. And in my...

It's still working well for me. I practice every day. The lacquer is wearing off where I hold it... not a big deal in my book. Due to the low price...

A common theme throughout this thread is the hope that we can continue to play well until the 'end." Well, there is hope! There is compelling...

This thread has been interesting and inspiring. Maybe it's not hopeless for my comeback. I was never at the level of any of you, but I am having fun...

From the comparative table on the K&G website, the measurement corresponding to Schike 51D would be 5,5 but, from my experience, they do not...

Thanks Rick! I got to see them perform years ago when I was in college. DG

Thank you

Schilke makes a 51, which is a "normal" (aka smaller) cup than the 51D. According to their site, the 51D is .005 inches smaller than the other 51's...

Hirsbrunner uses Bauerfeind valves, so a Willson should work.

Done.

Hi Doug, I have the thumb screws but need the plastic and dowel pin/screws. That said, the plastic piece appears to be the hardest to find, so...

Thank you, shall look at these!

Between the two, you get one perfect recording! The one from Sail Loft Sounds (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STfy42HYK1w ) is super clean,...

I'll tell him you say hello! So glad to hear that you enjoy! Thanks for listening!!
