Very nice, Dave. I love hearing the low brass in church.
A little late to the party here...from my recent perusals of several different sales sites, the going rate for a YEP 321 is between $1000-$1500 depending on age and condition. I am primarily a tuba...
Watching some baseball this weekend I saw a sousaphone on a Verizon ad.
Nice horn! Let us know how it goes as you break it in!
I finally got the chance to play this piece this summer sitting in with the Ashland City Band. Fun times!
It really depends on what horn you have, and what kind of music you play. I use a Shilke 69 with my small horn to help with the low notes. I don't know enough about the Helleburg to be able to...
Captain,
Just found this link over on Tubenet:

Might be worth a look!

Captain,
I perused the "For Sale" section over on tubenet, and the only horns in the first few pages were either CC, Eb or out of your price range. I don't know where you are in the country, but...
Hey, Captain, welcome!
There are a whole bunch of things to consider as you buy your tuba and move on to college. Are your planning to major in music (and all its iterations: education,...
Got it! I will take it to the school on Tuesday, and see how they like it. vbmodified
Ken,
I am going to give this a try. The band director in the town where I work has asked me to find a duet to do with her tuba player for their spring concert. I will keep you posted.

This is a really interesting conversation, and thanks to who ever brought it back. I play a VMI 201 3/4 tuba (when I line up with my buddy who plays a YEP321S, we look like my horn is the big...
I suspect so, however, Greg wasn't in the Navy at the time of that post.vbmodified
My story isn't much different...played trombone in high school, switched over to french horn in college, where I majored in criminology. Graduated, went to work in law enforcement, and played with...
For those of us (self included) that really don't like changing over from one type of comfortable and familiar forum use to a "new and improved" take heart. I am pretty much a rudimentary computer...
I think I'd go with the Miraphone...but then, I play amateur tuba, and just love the sound of those Miraphone euphs.vbmodified
We're just getting back to this after a busy summer performance schedule. I'll keep you posted.

I will. We're going early to rehearsal tonight to give it a go.vbmodified
Just ordered it. Thanks!vbmodified
Ken, how can I contact you to buy this? My good friend and I have been working the duet repitore of tuba and bassoon, and discovring how few things flow really well.

I'm not sure it is the similarity of the horn and compensating tubas. First off, there are very few compensating tubas (at least on my side of the pond), and even a 3 valve non-comp is still called a...
I am familiar with V bulliten from several motorcycle forums that I frequent, and I know that Tim Mayhew (from pashnit dot com) really has a huge volume of traffic on his site. As long as you're...
Interestingly, on my small shank euph, the 52 worked best but on the large shank, I found a 51D worked best...and I am primarily a tuba player.
If you care, I have found the 69C4 is a great tuba...
Interesting. We were just talking about a "Loud" mouthpiece last night...vbmodified
I expect that the guide is middle C. Therefore, an F or an Eb tuba would be designated by a single number. BBb is the second Bb below middle C. However, a CC tuba is the first C below, but is below...
