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...

And you have eternity to figure out which one you prefer.;)

So apparently Heaven gives you a choice of piston or rotary valves! :)

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!!

Mike, Do you need just the plastic belly guard, or do you need the two thumb screws and two flat head screws and metal dowel pin? If you just...

Here’s one possible source- https://www.ebay.com/itm/GENEVA-YORK-PRESTIGE-EUPHONIUM-CLEAR-POLYCARBONATE-BELLY-GUARD-/272632012491

Yes indeed.

I never thought about this, but I guess it’s like reading a Bari Sax part?

A Giddings Kadja is almost exactly this - similar rim size to 51D but 4G esque cup size. It's a very good mouthpiece. A Schilke 52E2 would be...

Thank you for the suggestion! I am not sure. I like the width of the cup. Its the depth of the cup that is my issue. Would the 5D be the same or...

You should get the 5D: if you want to try with a slightly wider rim diameter you could try the 4,5.

I know I'm late to the party but I came up with a solution for my 321 along the lines that Gary mentioned earlier. This is a $14 bike hanger...
