@stargemini, did you already decide on the mouthpiece or pieces? Just being really curious ;-).

He is a mighty nice person and really good euphonium player.

I have tried numerous brands of valve oil over the past many years. For me synthetic oils didn't work well. The Yamaha synthetic oil worked better...

That's great stuff! I MAY make that the next step in my long-term experiment. The slime build up is no longer an issue with my new cleaning routines,...

I’ve been using these products exclusively for the better part of a year now. https://houghtonhorns.com/products/meinlschmidt-lubricants I...

Recreated this picture about a year or so ago. :)

I too have been using Blue Juice for quite some time now. It works well and helps keep the valves clean.

Don’t forget about the Hercules French horn stand. It works great for euphs and it’s low to the ground.

Derek Kane!!! He is/was one of my euph idols growing up. Got to meet him for the 1st time 30yrs ago when the NYSB toured the UK.

I have seen another example of covering the arms. I saw a K&M stand in use, and someone had put a sock on each arm, just pulled them down over the...

Thank you for your detailed description of why and how you use adhesive backed felt paper to line the arms of your K&G stand. I am reversing my...

I have been with Blue Juice now for a few years and I think I will stay with it. I don't seem to get too much gunk buildup. And it doesn't smell...

Well, been a while since I wrote about my interest in a possible position with the Brass Band of Central Florida. I decided to pass on that, even...

Thanks Dave. The university had not updated their website from last year. I changed it to have the Facebook link for now. I added in the updated...

The US source for K&M products is Connolly Music Company. If you need more information (I have ordered several spare parts from Connolly for...

I may have been one of the forum members you referred to who puts something on the "rubber" cradle arms. I actually had some residue from those arms...

Thanks for posting, Trent! Sounds like a fine event. The poster you attached seems to be from last year. It shows 2022. Also, which campus is...

Depends on the instrument. My old New Standard baritone is absurdly fussy with its mouthpiece, in such case that the only mpc that works is a Yamaha...

It's around 20-21 inches at the minimum height, so I'm thinking it'd be a "stretch." I'll ship for $15 at that distance.

Are these adjustable enough to be used for baritone horns as well? If so, I might be interested. How much for shipping to zip code 95624? - Sara

From elementary school through high school, all my teachers only recommended Bach mouthpieces. I never even encountered other brands until college....

Silly question: hygiene? If I were participating I would want to sterilize each mouthpiece received before trying it. I've bought some used...

There's only one DAVE.

Tying into what Franz said, that since stainless is a less heavy of a metal, then perhaps there is indeed less resonance than there would be on a...

Based in the US, and I think this sounds like a great idea! My fellow band mates don't understand the importance of equipment and this would be...

Good question. I imagine shipping and customs outside the USA may be prohibitive. Mike
