I guess one of the advantages of having a trigger as standard compared to a compensating system is that you take away any additional resistance...

Thank you for the links Barry! Much appreciated and nice to see more about the horn. I agree about the trigger design. Seems much more lightweight...

Yeah, and its's only a bit cheaper. It would be interesting to try one. I guess it's a new model. There is nothing about it on the web. I have...

Well this is weird: http://www.vfcerveny.cz/en/news/375-cerveny-is-still-producing I'll bet the full story is interesting, because I'm...

That's interesting. There was a recent thread where we discussed the apparent fact that Cerveny/Amati had gone out of business and their workers and...

tuning trigger seems to use something like a bicycle cable for the linkage which is a nice solution I wish more brass instrument makers would look at.

Here's a video about the prototype from March 2019 https://www.facebook.com/GenevaInstruments/posts/2130449787009934 And a review from Aug....

It’s a pity there isn’t the choice of either soldered or unsoldered. Personally I never liked a floating leadpipe, but that might have been...

Hello Tbonesullivan, You are correct, I believe my Besson Prestige 2052-2 Euphonium is currently the only one with this addition although they...

I noticed that too about Black Dyke when they shifted sponsorships to Geneva, though at the time I figured it was just because Geneva hadn't...

Ahh, so it's a fully "floating" leadpipe except for the receiver. That is something I've seen a lot more of recently. My Eb Tuba and Euph both have...

Hopefully Červený can return in some form or another. The company has a HUGE history, and some of the earliest contrabass tubas and Kaisertubas were...

It's been out almost a year, the only player I know of using one is Steve Ridler in the Fairey Band. Given the unusual design it might be difficult...

A nifty trigger design. DG

Thank you so much Jim, I really do appreciate it. Best Wishes, Micah Dominic Parsons

Barry's advice is, as usual, spot on. A few additional thoughts: 1. With the mic placement Barry's suggesting, an SM57 is going to be almost all...

I am keeping this as for now. Thank you for your messages. Jose

Sure!

Small room is bad in many ways, so your best bet is to get as direct a sound from the instrument as you can in order to minimize the sound of the...

Hello Jim, Let me have a think about it and I will get back to you if this is ok? Best Wishes, Micah Dominic Parsons

Bump with update

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...
