It's not quite the same, but I've seen some valve trombones in C around. Yamaha, Jupiter and Wessex all have at least one model.
The tenor tuba is the "correct" instrument to use for early 20th-century French music that calls for tuba, and that's about it. It's the Bydlo horn.
On the off chance that it doesn't fit in an overhead compartment, depending on the airline you may be able to get permission to store it in a coat closet, especially if you're on-board early and make...
Is Euphonium Excerpts available digitally? The item page seems to indicate it is but I don't see any way of selecting that version.
I have the Hercules stand -- it holds both my tuba and my euphonium securely. I prefer it to the K&M floor stand since it raises the horn to eye level and makes it much less susceptible to getting...
I used to bring stuff home to scan until I found Readdle Scanner Pro -- take a picture of the music with the tablet's camera, and it'll automatically color-correct, deskew and un-distort the page,...
Part of the reason I rely so heavily on my electronic setup is that I'm often playing horns that I can't let go of, like marching baritone or contra, so page turns are impossible unless I put the...
I can second the recommendation for the AirTurn pedals. My current setup is an iPad Pro 12.9" running forScore, the AirTurn goSTAND collapsible stand, the AirTurn DUO pedal, the iKlip Xpand tablet...
Kleen Strip probably won't do anything to nickel plate since it's a paint stripper. Nickel is also a lot harder than silver or lacquer so manually removing it will be a real pain, and you're almost...
If being on a hot vehicle could damage brass instruments we wouldn't have drum corps. I'd be more worried about anything else you leave in the case, especially bottles of valve oil -- they can...
I'm not too impressed with the Cool Wind and Tiger plastic euphoniums currently for sale, but if the pBone/pTrumpet people ever make a pBaritone I'd probably consider picking it up for gimmick gigs...
$1,600 is a lot for a single-function device... my iPad Pro + mic stand adapter + pedals + extra battery setup is relatively expensive too, but at least I can take it apart and use it for typical...
Most music stores will let you walk in and try mouthpieces. If you don't have a decent store within driving distance, Mouthpiece Express and a couple other online stores have an "audition policy"...
My recommendation would be the Dillon 1795/Mack TU200 -- 4/4 size horn, but relatively slender and light, and very easy to handle. I think rotary valves are a good bet for younger players because...
Considering those prices, the thousands of random high-end items listed for sale (the first page of listings has an ultrasound machine, a laparoscopic camera, a floor sander and an espresso machine)...
I don't have any specific recommendations, but my brass ensemble's two go-to sources for arrangements are Jari Villanueva and Matt Kingston; they've both got a lot of pieces for small brass ensembles...
For anyone curious: I ordered it last week and it arrived today. I cleaned the spots with the provided jewelry cleaner, then rubbed in the liquid silver with the included sponge. Results were...
What do you plan on using it for? You say you're not in college yet and already have a Jupiter 3/4 -- is this a home practice tuba? Do you use a school-provided tuba on campus?
If your director...
Looks worth a shot for $20. I'll take the plunge and see how it goes.
I've got a silver-plated euphonium with a couple spots on the bell where the silver's worn away, maybe about 0.5" x 0.5" in size. They're not in typical hand contact places, so they're very visible...
As the extreme budget option, if you can read treble clef and don't mind reading off a screen or printing it yourself, the original Arban's is in the public domain and available on the IMSLP/Petrucci...
I haven't tried it on a Y321, but I like my Schilke 51D for my small-shank horns. It's about the same diameter as the Bach 5G but a little deeper.
Ithaca College has the NERTEC info site but it's pretty barebones. The schedule mentions exhibitors but not who the exhibitors are.
You can also see in another picture where they noticed the grease lines were especially prominent and tried to Photoshop them out...
