Hi, Elad,
For repair estimates, check with Baltimore Brass in Catonsville, http://www.baltimorebrass.net/. They also deal in used instruments. I also like L&L Wind Shop in Gaithersburg,...
I've been playing the Eb arrangement in the Sacred Solos compilation from Rubank. Bonus is that the next piece, Gounod's "O, Divine Redeemer," lends itself to the double-bell euphonium.

With a half-hour solo concert tomorrow, I'm finding it very useful (and comforting) to listen (and sometimes read along with the score) to recordings of my recent practices. It lets me mentally work...
I bought a vocal score and used Finale to transpose the tenor vocal of Every Valley to bass clef in the original key of E. Didn't take that long. Woodshedded it for six weeks. The key of E is a bear...
Gave the valves a thorough cleaning before practicing. Cleaned the pistons and casings with a citrus cleanser, paying close attention to the guide slots in the casing. Seemed to do the trick, and...
I just got a little-used Yamaha YEP 321. It's pretty much pristine. When you push a slide in and press the valve, there's a very satisfying POP as the pressure equalizes.
Unfortunately, on the 1st...
No bids, but do you remember the starting price? A no-minimum, no-reserve auction is one thing, but seems as though quite a few sellers set a starting bid that's not even worth a second look. For 75...
Many thanks!
I'm a long-distance runner, so upper body strength hasn't been in my repertoire. This is useful info.

The only euphonium I know is my Holton double bell. I usually practice and solo standing up, and I don't get overly tired. I may have a line on a Yamaha YEP-321, so I borrowed a friend's 321 to play...
At our church's Maundy Thursday service, I played a cello composition titled Lily of the Valley, by Paul Fleury, on my double-bell euphonium. Here it is on YouTube:...
Let's say, hypothetically, I was giving a half-hour concert on my double-bell euphonium on April 13 at 12 noon. Ok, that's not so hypothetical. Anyway, most of my pieces use only the big bell; I...
Hi, Dave,
I like your recording of Schubert's Serenade recently uploaded to Youtube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nO5h9UO_YU. You mention it was recorded during a church service - do you have...
As far as church goes, look around for those with an active music ministry - quite often they'll list upcoming concerts in a local paper and on their website.
I only have experience with the music...
Could you wax eloquent on when and why you memorize a piece, versus getting really, really good at it but sticking to the score? And does that change with the number of pieces you'll be performing...
I'm a committed euphonium player. I thought it be fun to goof around on a tuba from time to time. Will I run into embouchure problems (some other threads seem to say so)? How do those of you who play...
That sounds like fun! Thanks for the info.Although I'm not sure I should go around causing a stir just yet . . .Stuartvbmodified
Hi, all,
This is my first post here. After some hemming and hawing, I picked up a rather sad-looking double bell euphonium at a thrift shop. Lots of dents, lead tube to the smaller bell almost...
