I use the Mead springs light. After I had my Mack Brass euphonium for a bit, I bought Yamaha springs. After a while, the plastic coating began sloughing off. I've had the Mead springs for a few years...

Thank you; I didn't think of that.
Thank you all for your interest. Here's a link to the live recording by the Lehman band.

I'm sending you emails with the score and parts...
That was a favorite of mine to play on piano back in high school. However, I'm restricting my arrangements to public domain pieces or those I've written myself. Thanks anyway!
A little while ago I did an arrangement of Mozart's Rondo Alla Turka for concert band. It was performed by the Lehman College and Community Band to a warm reception. I would like to make this...
Those looked bigger than bass saxophones (Bb - one octave below a tenor sax). They may have been contrabass saxes (Eb - one octave below a baritone sax). However, I've looked at photos of contrabass...
Larry:
I'm curious - what does Capital Music Gear charge for shipping? It's something to keep in mind for the total cost.
I say light swing. I think if an arranger or composer intended heavy swing on a jazz piece (or a standard song composed during a period when jazz was paramount), it'd be notated as dotted...
I'll also chime in on Yamaha consistency. I'm a Steinway guy, but when I was gigging regularly I usually preferred that the venue had a Yamaha grand because the consistency from instrument to...
I believe the Mack Brass 5500 is made by Zo. See this page; the model number is the same 5500 and elsewhere they name Mack Brass as one of their dealers.

I bought a Mack Brass euphonium a number of years back. It needed some adjustments to the first valve. Tom told me to bring it to a local shop and he'd reimburse the cost. That's exactly what I did,...
Shouldn't you add David Werden, DC3, Adams E3?
Perhaps find a used Conn trombonium (valve trombone shaped like a euphonium)? A friend had loaned me his for a while when I was in an orchestra and not yet confident in my trombone ability. The tone...
I'm surprised the conductor or administrator of your band did not limit players. For example, with the orchestra I'm in (I play 1st trombone), we recently turned away a flutist because the flute...
From elementary school through high school, all my teachers only recommended Bach mouthpieces. I never even encountered other brands until college. Well, there were a few Conn mouthpieces included in...
Silly question: hygiene? If I were participating I would want to sterilize each mouthpiece received before trying it. I've bought some used mouthpieces in the past, and I've done just that. I'm...
That's a little unusual. The spelling E# helps my sightreading when the underlying harmony (perhaps) is a C# or A# chord, or F# major 7 - paricularly in big band piano parts (I detest those arrangers...
This makes me think that the Getzen bass trumpet I inherited may be salvageable. D4 is terribly flat using a Bach 12 (came with the horn) and a Bach 6.5AL the mouthpiece on use on my Bach 36B...
I used the Kadja by Giddings for a little while. I liked the fact that there was no plating to wear out or tarnish. The mouth feel was comfortable. I wound up switching to the Bowman BB-1 because I...
I thought -correct me if I'm wrong - that BSP in a mouthpiece meant "brass, silver plated."
Thanks to John and Franz for replies about the mouthpieces, and I apologize for hijacking the thread.
Marcoso:
I'm truly pleased to see someone else using scientific notation for the pitches! I've talked with trumpet players, some of whom say "high G" to refer to F3 and others say "high G" to...
John,
I find that interesting. I've got a medium-bore trombone (Bach 36B) and a Mack Brass (Jin Bao) euphonium. I purposefully use different mouthpieces to try to get the most characteristic sound...
I also wear progressive lenses. The last time I got new glasses, I had my ophthalmologist write two prescriptions: one regular and one that he called "computer glasses" and that I called "music...
This is the first reference I've seen to Adams euphonium mouthpieces. What are the specs?
