Plan to list this mouthpiece on eBay in early April…

"...Really far back, there was actually two different ovalform instruments referred to as "Tenorhorn". There was the normal Baßflugelhorn and the...

In Commonwealth countries where British Brass Bands are active, the 6.5'Eb Saxhorn derivative is called an Eb Tenor Horn. This is because the high...

Honestly it's a mess. I wouldn't mind highpitch's claim, but of course it's easy to find contrary examples:...

Didn’t think to check the wayback machine. Start here!! https://web.archive.org/web/20220928125913/https://wilktone.com/?page_id=5619

Wow, memory lane. Our meagre student budgets afforded only a few SFSO tickets, but I met him in person when he came across the Bay 1983ish to present...

Generally, altos are in Eb and tenors in Bb. Over here, at least. Others can comment on other countries.

Sorry to hear this about wilktone. I learned a lot from that site when I returned to euphonium after four decades of concentrating on piano.

Thanks for sharing these Rick, I had not listened to Sergei Nakariakov before and that was really great playing, I'll have to find more from him. ...

Hello Mr. Werden, Thanks so much for your reply and for all the information you have gathered. Indeed, your resources were what led me to the E3...

Hello Larry, my apologies, but from your post I was not able to exclude that this here DWerden site was not the poxed one. Glad it is not the one...
