    That's a fun video! Among the famous musicians we have Henry Mancini on piccolo! There is another one of Mancini's songs with Bill Watrous doing some nice solo trombone work. He did a concert at the...
  2. Sticky: Conn Connstellation Euphonium in Lacquer with Curved Bell

    A good, rare Connstellation, which was the top of the heap of American euphoniums in the 20th century. A very fine instrument if you want the American style horn with 4 front valves AND a main slide...

    I saw that one and considered listing it here. The seller doesn't offer much detail on what was done. I think the bottom bow guard is missing (the narrow bead is there, but is usually on top of a...

    Interesting. By any chance did the fish oil make your skin more soft or supple? Just running some theories in my head.

    Johnny One Note with Glissando/Smear Demo

    Well, I am getting better at glisses. They are pretty smooth now, but I still want to get more tone during the smear. In any case, I used them a few times in this video, where Sara Brunk and I play...
  6. Sticky: Terrific Conn 5-Valve Short-Action Double-Bell

    This is a one-owner horn that looks really good. There a pretty good dent in one place on the bottom bow (shown below), but otherwise it's in very nice shape. More photos in the listing. The original...

    The Besson 968T was on consignment. I need to check the serial number when I have a chance. It's possible this is a British horn and may not have the lowered 3rd valve slide.

    Left Hand Reach to 4th Valve

    Most modern euphoniums have a reduced reach around the 3rd valve slides to help with comfort, especially for small hands. Here are the figures I could gather for all the horns displayed at Schmitt...

    These days I find the Adams line best. The E1, E2, E3, and Sonic offer a wide range of choices to match one's preferences and they all have the best intonation of any brand I have tried. The Adams...
  12. FS: Besson 3-Valve Bell-Front Compensating

    These are somewhat rare, but could serve some players very well. They are fully Besson with top valves, but the bell section is adjustable (like the old American bari-euphs). The bell could be an...
  13. FS: Hercules Euphonium-Tuba Stand - Nice Price

    This is the same stand I use every day. The things are built like a tank with an all metal superstructure. It adjusts in various ways to fit horns of different sizes, and there are at least 2 really...

    I played one for a number of years, and I considered it the best choice for my style and desired sound. In 2012 I switched to Adams because I liked it better. However, my opinion of the Virtuoso is...

    Here is a video of the song (I think it's what you want) from UNT. You could check with the channel author, or you could get hold of David Childs. You might get good info.

    It IS a beautiful horn!

    I wonder if it is actually an Old Studio, though. Could it be an Ambassador? My not-perfect memory says that the Studio had an adjustable bell, while the Ambassador had a...

    Doug, are you saying that Conn made a non-Connstellation euphonium that used a "medium" shank? (I have SO MUCH to learn yet!)

    Congratulations on the purchase! I think it was quite a bargain. This model was the first euphonium I owned (after a time playing badly beaten school horns). It was a sweet horn!

  23. Besson Sovereign 968 Added to Intonation Page

    Thanks for the insights, John. I'll make it a point to try one when I have a chance. Schmitt Music near me has one in stock, I think, which will help!
