I'd love to respond that I'm currently playing with a brass band, but that is not the case.
I started out in Germany in the mid-80s and played in several pickup SA groups. More fun than music,...
"Mars, The Bringer of War" especially is a time to shine. Well done with the assignment and hope it goes well!
Brass Band pieces?
I bought a mute about 17 years ago, but I'll be doggoned if I remember which piece it was meant for, except it was for brass band.
Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but harkening back to the older Boosey & Co. and Boosey & Hawkes 3+1 British euphoniums (these had the so-called "European" shank receiver, meaning smaller...
Agreed about design and the individual. Lots and lots of variables to contend with!
I didn't go crazy trying to find the perfect mouthpiece, but I did try more than a few in attempting to address...
I should clarify - I don't recall playing Col. Bogey while marching - static only, or in concert. But I have it memorized, even today.
ETA: One Alford march I certainly memorized to play while...
I was never in a premier military band, but I certainly served in the U.S. Army as a euphoniumist and I well remember those mega-ceremonies. These were especially noteworthy in Berlin while the city...
Adams does offer a "shortened" tuning slide which ostensibly compensates for the flat horn, indicating that Adams is aware of this issue to some level. But after having tried the shortened tuning...
The decision's been made, so any further comment toward a recommendation is a moot point, but I want to chime in anyway with my thoughts on the Adams E2.
First and most important - for whatever...
I had guessed completely wrong, after following Dave's thread above. Just from a pure sound standpoint, I liked Horn A more especially in the mid-to-upper register. Seemed richer, more core to the...
I find Blue Juice's smell to be objectionable, so I use a synthetic. I've been using a 50/50 mixture of Yamaha Light Synthetic and Yamaha Regular Synthetic on my 4-year-old E2. Seems to work well - I...
Throughout my Army career I played exclusively on Besson euphs. Initially, back in the mid-70s and up till about 1982, I played on an Imperial and then a Sovereign. I'd characterize the classic...
Dave - you may want to update ACB's forum listing. They relocated to Kansas City I think a couple years ago. The link above still works OK.

This is a very subjective question, and it will no doubt lead to very subjective answers. The individual player's sound is the driving force and that sound can be replicated on almost any horn.

Put me in the "cold sore" camp. I've struggled with those for years.
One thing I began doing that has worked for about a year now - L-Lysine. It's an inexpensive nutriceutical product available in...
It's got a grime gutter too, which is a small thing but very nice to have.
Sincere best wishes for a full recovery!
Glenn made a bag for my Kanstul tuba, back in about 2010 or so. It's the only way I've transported that tuba -- the hard case is just impossible to schlep around.
Glenn needed me to take umpteen...
Could not agree more about the mouthpiece. It's a paperweight, or will be when the Bach 5GS I ordered comes in. It was backordered, but should be arriving in the next few days.
Another great point...
Very unfortunate for Steven, but somewhere along the line with as much travel as he's done over the years, something like this is bound to happen.
So I guess that means that flyover country, aka the Midwest, is represented by the tubas and french horns, right? :cool:
Without rhythm keeping all that together, you have a mess.
LOL
Wow, I saw the "banned" moniker and wondered a bit.
This is probably the calmest forum on the planet. It would take something like this to ban someone. lol
The German wind band instrumentation generally calls for Tenorhorn I and Tenorhorn II (these would be the oval, small-bore horns); and then Baryton. The tenorhorn parts (not to be confused with the...
