    Do you think that the mute for euphonium would also work for a British style baritone? New, the Yamaha Silent Brass mutes aren't cheap. I would consider a used one but do need to make sure it fits...

    Sounds like the Ovis Company is a stencil maker, like JinBao. And unless I am mistaken, both are in Tianjin, China. Sounds like a brass manufacturing powerhouse of a town. Also sounds like a place...

    Version one (straight eighths) sounds like an exercise rather than a song. Version two (light swing) sounds like something someone would actually sing. Version three (heavy swing), sounds like...

    Looking at the picture supplied on Facebook, I see four in-line rotary valves on the front of the horn. I don't see the fifth valve though. I looked on the Wessex website and could not find any...

    The way I tend to think of it is "Besson is to euphoniums what Stradivarius is to violins." Even though Besson is not the grand old company with imperial connections (Brittish) that it once was and...

    I have the JinBao JBBR1240 that, as I understand it, are what these are cloned from. I have not tried the Wessex, JP, or Schiller versions of it though. Is there anything I can answer for you?

    I was speaking generically when I said four community band groups. I imagine that four instrumental groups of whatever flavor is enough to keep the practice, performance, and social calendar quite...

    This! I know that when I first read Anadma's initial post, my thought was "Wow! Five euphoniums. That's enough to start your own euphonium choir." So maybe Anadma can use it as an opportunity to...

    Oh what a beautiful problem to have (too many euphoniums)! Back in high school, I remember that there were 100-ish musicians total in the marching band. We never had more than four who played...

    Are these adjustable enough to be used for baritone horns as well? If so, I might be interested. How much for shipping to zip code 95624?

    A question about guides - Are they valve specific? For example, if I buy a spare guide, can I put it into any valve that may need it? I am thinking about getting that spare, but it is a bigger...

    The link does not appear to be working. At least, it times out when I try to use it. I would also be interested in reading the entire Facebook post that talks about this. Can you help?

    Well that certainly seems conclusive. What a way to show customers that their concerns are addressed. Now I know what I am going to buy whenever I need a horn strap.

    Yes. Less than the asking price for a NEW JinBao horn that the model is based on. You get all of Wessex's improvements for less money. The shipping (within the USA) is pretty reasonable too. If I...
