    Idk, like 10? If it's a community ensemble, I don't really see an issue. If you can't deal with it, I suppose you could stop playing with them, but I don't really see how it would be fair to now...

    Glad to see your issue was resolved! When I first got my shires, I thought the 2nd/middle valve was a little higher than the others, which I thought felt pretty ergonomic and enjoyable. Alas, the...

    That's pretty frustrating. I ordered some sheet music back in December that somehow, after arriving at the post office in my city, was sent across the country to Albany, NY. There, it made its...

    I will also second the idea that a marching euph/baritone have more strain on your back/shoulders than one might think. I marched these for four years in high school. By junior year, it wasn't so...

    Is there another tuba you could use? If a different instrument has the same issue, I'd guess it's your embouchure, however, maybe it has something to do with the tubing on the instrument you have?

    Yes, I'd probably have a larger collection if I had started my career in IT a bit earlier, but I've heard of some of the old guard of rock and roll having HUNDREDS of guitars. I think I remember an...

    I noticed this a bit too when I start playing again, since I came from the electric guitar world. I would say most guitar players know everything about their equipment, the equipment their favorite...

    one trick I learned from my high school band director, is if you are having a little trouble with making sure the notes have equal length/are even is to swing the phrase one way, then swing it the...

    I could be wrong, but to my ears it seems like a difference in the middle-range of tone. In the "British" sound, to me it seems like there's a little bump there, bringing out some of the more vocal...

    I'd like to second what Sara says! Don't let a bad performance get you down. It really seems like a lot of pressure to put on yourself for something that is mostly a hobby, no? I feel like if a...

    I'm not an expert, and none of us heard the performance in question, but to me it really seems like you just psyched yourself out. I think you're in your head and getting panicky and doubting...

    Though I did not heed it very often as a teenager, one of the things burned into my memory/psyche by my band directors is the saying "In your hand or in your case; there is no other place."

    I suppose I'm nowhere near a professional, but I think I share a bit of Larry's confusion here. As he mentioned, there seem to be plenty of pros/military band players picking up these instruments,...

    the QHR pillow cover is coated with a rubber-like texture that keeps it from slipping. It's not too expensive on amazon (if you are in the US at least).

    Just for a visual on what I'm talking about. It might be a bit hard to see from the pictures, but the diameter is noticeably larger on the ABC.

    Correct, the diameter of the cap is literally almost big enough to fit AROUND the stock cap. Nothing is in the way length-wise, so hopefully they just sent me the wrong one and you get the correct...

    Welp, I just opened it up and was excited to attach it to my horn, but lo and behold, it is FAR too large to fit.

    +1 for what ann said. I was using the protech for a while when I had an inline 4 euphonium, but decided it was too much of a hassle, so I just play sitting down with a qhr lap pillow. I also have a...

    It took a while to get here because he accidentally sent it to himself (he probably secretly wanted to keep it for himself, right?), but it made it's way to me this weekend!

    That's really interesting; my horn came with the 5D. Everywhere I'd read, the horn is supposed to come with the Shires 5G, and couldn't find any info about the 5D. I wonder why mine came with the...

    Do you already know where you'll be attending college? If so, you could reach out via email to who your potential professor and ask them if they have any guidance/preference.
