    Interesting that you felt that way, Jim, as it appears that the Wick 3.5 has the same rim size as the 3 at about 1.04", while the Demondrae is 1.03”.

    I think it’s a perception of the rounded rim...

    I’m not John, but I’ve been using one for about 12 years, since I got my first 5050. The rim size is 1.03”, which makes it a bit smaller than a wick3, but with the soft rim bite, it plays wider. It...

    I played in a band once with 5. Some modern rep has up to 4 parts. Pete Meechan’s “Korn Symphony” has Euph 1 and 2, both divisi. So if the band is playing a lot of modern rep, 4 can work. But 5 is...

    I play~ more bass trombone than euphonium at this point, and I also find bass trombone and euphonium have similar blows, while tenor and alto are very different from Euph.

    Clarification: I did not commission the Tom Davoren Concerto. Just the Barfield and the Day. But Tom is a dear friend.

    Anthony Barfield “Heritage” Concerto For Euphonium. I’m biased because I commissioned it, but it’s an amazing piece. Band, Orchestra, and midi accompaniment.

    incidentally, “Song From Wales” was written by my good friend Tom Davoren for me and Demondrae. I believe Doug has also performed it. It’s a great little feature piece for a recital.

    I have no idea when I wrote that. Probably before my friend started playing a Miraphone.

    stop expecting internal consistency on the internet. You’ll be disappointed if you do.

    It’s the sound in your head. A close friend of mine has the most British sound I’ve heard, and he plays a 5050. I do as well, but I don’t sound British at all. And yet, in our quartet, we blend very...

    I’ve been playing a Demondrae MP since I got my first 5050 in 2011. It’s a great mouthpiece, and the rim shape works so well for me, I had Warburton make me a 7ST (also 1.03” dia) mouthpiece for...

    Bollinger tuning is “1/4 tone G” or “flat G”. I think it actually would work better than straight Gb. On bass trombone, the alternates with the 2nd valve line up with normal positions rather than...

    Anthony, Demondrae, and I touched base on this today. We all agree it’s a bad idea, and suggest that you don’t add the cadenza.

    On another note, I don’t think the first movement stands alone...

    Congratulations on the purchase. Try the Warburton Demondrae mouthpiece that ships with the horn. It’s a perfect match, and complements the horn in so many ways.

    My custom Warburton 7ST feels identical to my demondrae on my face, so it’s the same result. In fact, I like the rim shape so much, I had Greg Black replicate the shape for me on a 1-1/4 G for Bass...

    interesting that you use a Demondrae on Trombone. I’ve tried it, and I find that the large throat on that MP doesn’t work for me on trombone. My articulations are too floofy with that. So I had...
