Ah, I read the post on my phone - I often miss things on that little critter!

As I mentioned, these were moments of pure snark. ;-) Our quintet did a lot of parties where we were musicians and comedians. Wish I had recorded...

Thanks Mike! There’s so much to consider! The combination on the way is Doug’s recommendation based on my requirements but I’m flexible. We chose the...

With regard to the DE, I would recommend also trying the I cup. The Ultra X is closer in depth to the I cup. Also, try with his “s” shanks. The...

Ok, then how about Till There Was You from the Music Man? The crowd should know it, and the band might have a Music Man arrangement with this song in...

These are very good suggestions and great songs for solos. I am familiar with "Softly As I Leave You". Serenade from the Student Prince is a very...

I like the other suggestions above, but I think you might want to check the lyrics of this song before using it. ...

Serenade from the Student Prince is a sure winner and fits all your criteria--there are several band versions available; I played it with the Indiana...

most english-style baritones have 9" or larger bells, but that's irrelevant. Bach 6.5AL would be my first thought for such an instrument, or a Wick...

Arthur Pryor - Thoughts of Love

The Complete edition is great!! It can give you a very solid foundation on technique, and has the little melodies in the middle to help you learn to...

Wanting to wish you LOTS of encouragement ! I STARTED playing euphonium last spring after losing the use of some of my fingers to arthritis, and also...

Arban's Complete Conservatory Method for Trumpet i is fine for euphonium and browse the web for loads of free stuff

Oops, I just noticed I miss-spelled Arban in the title of the thread.

Sounds like the guy at music and arts may have gotten the Finish and Material discussions mixed up a bit. With finish, you've got pretty much...

"yellow brass finish" vs. "gold brass finish" isn't really a thing. I mean, there are gold-tinted lacquers that are darker than clear lacquers, but...

I agree with the 2 suggestions above. Either a used compensating instrument or the new Wessex will satisfy you better if you have been playing a...
