Good stuff, as usual, Snor.
I'll try them when I break my horn out tonight. They should be playable. I took my "Uff-da Polka" to IET last summer as a competition piece, and I had given myself an F-F gliss at the beginning of...
Community Band has "Hands" in the folders for the spring concert. It's not exactly a piece of cake, in my opinion, after the forst read-thru.
Getting back to the title of the thread, whenever I think of AI, I think of the Rise of the Machines in the Dune Universe, and the ensuing Butlerian Jihad, whose motto was "Thou shalt not make a...
Yes, just the name JINBAO in the Roman alphabet, and just below that the model number, which, if I remember correctly, is JBBR-1140.
My bari is Jinbao and labeled as such. I bought it from a vender in China.
Light swing.
I have "something similar" in my bedroom".
With regard to buying directly from a Chinese exporter, I can offer only my own experience, for what it's worth. I bought my 3-valve compensating baritone from a Chinese exporter. On the up-side,...
I don't think that a pedal Bb can be played with the same embouchure required for a high Bb. I adjust, but my change from the middle to high range is very small.
I'm a fan of the Wheel of Time series -- 15 books and now a TV series that has just finished its second season. One of the major non-human characters in both series is the Horn of Valere, a short...
At IET this year I put an octave gliss (middle F to high F, BC) in a cadenza. I found that the best technique for me was to half-press the 3rd valve.
Thank you for your extensive work and meticulous reporting. I've been thinking about rerunning my tests. A lot of things have changed in 5 years, including the acquisition of a couple new (to me)...
:cool:
I remember "Tulsa"; Butler Symphonic Band played it in the late '60s.
Emulating vocalists is precisely what I do. Much of what I play these days is popular and gospel music, and sounding like the vocalist[s] who originally recorded the songs works very well for me.
Conn in back in my home town? Way cool! I grew up less than a mile from their factory, which, of course, no longer exists.
Oh, to play in a band like that!
(Oh, to be good enough to play in a band like that!)
Just to clarify, I was not talking about a solo within a concert piece, like the Holst. I was talking about a stand-up solo in front of the band.
This is a question springing out of an almost argument at last night's band practice, and I'm asking anyone who is an experienced soloist and/or ensemble director. (No, I wasn't the soloist; just a...
I have decided to sell my Conn 86I New Wonder euphonium. According to the serial number, it was made in 1923, and more recently it has undergone a complete overhaul, including valve replating, in...
I have read and agree to the terms.

James Gourlay demonstrated those for us (using my "Schiller Elite") several years ago. I couldn't get them to work on that same horn, but I can get a solid low Eb (open, no valves) on my oval.
