I play a 3 valve Besson New Standard Eb. Love the instrument but don't enjoy playing some notes an octave higher than written. My lowest good note is A (this instrument has horrible false tones.) ...

Absolutely lovely Micah. Thanks for the link! Also, in answer to the question above here's a quote from the YouTube page: "The soloist part and piano reduction for 'In Gardens of Peace' can be...
It's my understanding that Olds made that third loop a little flat on its three valve model to help the 1-3 and 1-2-3 valve combinations be a little less sharp. Unfortunately, they didn't shorten it...
Yeah, I sense that we're all really bored . . .

I really enjoyed listening to the Ewald. Question though. Is the tenor horn really a conical instrument? I've heard them called trombones with valves because, I assume, of their less conical...
I believe so, yes.
Beautiful instrument! Unless I'm not seeing something correctly I believe the engraving on the bell reads USQMC not USMC. If I'm right you might want to have Grady correct the description on his...
That video really cleared things up for me. No more wondering!!
Thank you. Beautifully played and very much appreciated!
Seems like a good idea. You might also want to consider including an oxygen absorber with the valve in the pvc pipe. They're used a lot with food storage and will suck the potentially damaging air...
I feel for you guys. It was so warm and sunny here today (low 70s) that I was able to take a short ride on the Harley in a t-shirt. I was wearing long pants, though, unlike John M.
True, but I've found that I can copy the code from the email and paste into the place they want it entered. Makes it a little simpler but still a pain.
Enjoyed it very much! Thanks for sharing. Reminds me of how much fun it used to be playing those Fourth of July concerts in the park.
I wish, but Havasu's just too far away. You'll let us know about concerts and stuff right?

Good morning,
I have a gently and infrequently used Wick mouthpiece for sale. It's a gold plated Denis Wick BSM4X (small shank). Aside from some abrasion on the shank due to insertion the...
This is my instrument. Give me a holler of you're interested or know anyone who might be. Price has been reduced to $235. Now's the time to grab this sweety if you're interested as if it doesn't...
Here's what the seller had to say. Not real informative.
"According to my musician friend who identified the other instruments, he said the guy on the right is holding either a Bb baritone or an...
I've contacted the seller. Will let you know what he has to say of he gets back to me.
Congratulations Jim! I'm a Conn fan and can appreciate your enthusiasm over owning this instrument. It looks to be in pretty good shape, does it need restoring? Anyway, please keep us apprised of...
York, Olds, Reynolds etc? You know, the old "American" style euphoniums. Conn is a choice but not these others. There's no category for them except maybe antiques? They're not really antiques...
