I had a King marching euphonium for 3 years of marching band in college. It played well for a marching horn - privilege tones actually spoke on the...

You must have marched PR, given that progression. The difference on the kings was night and day. BK is also using all euph right now because...

I would agree with what Mike has posted. Particularly for a school program, marching baritones are much more preferable compared to most marching...

Hello! I have a number of thoughts on the subject, having spent time with many of the current models. First, when you say you want a...

I wish (truly) I could tell you!! At the last 2 ITECs I attended this horn was on my list to play-test. In one event the horn was sold before I got...

Thanks for confirming, folks! At this point I would not even shop for office supplies (apparently the core of their business) at this site.

I found these warnings online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tqzQmRvw08 ...

I've used Blue Juice, Hetman, and Yamaha. Now I'm using Resilience and I'm very pleased with it - very little gunk buildup and very long lasting. The...

I always come back to Blue Juice. It doesn't last as long as some, but I definitely see less gunk in the horn and valve oil is cheap!

Bump and price drops!

Thanks for the feedback, folks! One interesting thing I noticed yesterday and my practice. The high Bb (concert) on the Doubler is easier than on...

Pure quality n the Liebesfreud. Just well done and a great partnership understanding but to come back to the topic, if anyone expected the Doubler to...

I have tried everything out there 38 times or more. I am currently in the "Monster Oil" phase of my life, have been for maybe a year now, and I like...

Excellent review and playing, Dave! Sara, too, you have a keeper there!! As for the position of the lyre box and screw, I usually pick up my horn...

I use Blue juice most of the time. Sometimes when I have washed the valves and casings, I start with one coat of either Wick or Hetman #1. They...

I’m still using Blue Juice and will stick with it. No complaints and it helps keep my valves cleaner.

I also listened to both recordings and as Doug said, “you sound like you”. I did notice some alternate fingerings (1-3) for the 6th partial Eb and it...

David, I listened carefully to both versions (Adams vs. ACB). I could hear very few differences in style or pitch and they both sounded like you....

Happy to help, Trent! In a diverse group (but a serious group) like this one you can probably harvest several good tips/suggestions/kudos. Curious...

I am absolutely floored! When I envisioned this trial I just thought folks might write a sentence or two with their thoughts. This far, FAR, FAR...

David, Beautiful review. I think you covered the important parts and Trent should be jumping up and down with the quality of your review! I can...

To quote a Monte Python classic, "RUNAWAY!!"

Great review. On the original shop video he A/B'd with with the 321 and I quite preferred the 321. I think it comes down to player now, at least to...

Thanks, Rick! On my Bessons and Sterlings I had the flipper type of lock. I would periodically have to check the screw for tightness. And at some...

I realized after I finished that I didn't mention intonation in the review. In my mind that box was already checked because I had already put it in...
