Is the Telemann Aria the only one that includes a treble clef version? For some of us amateurs (and non-transposers), it would be helpful to know which clef the parts are available in. Thank you in...

I very much liked this! I would like to hear more like this. It does come across more like a music video than how multi-track recordings are typically presented.

The vocalist's voice and style...

Thank you for the recommendation. I think that I will pass then. - Sara

How much, including shipping, for a Hercules DS552B Tuba/Euphonium Stand? You would be sending it to Elk Grove, CA 95624. Does it hold the smaller baritone horn well? Or is it geared for the "big...

I, for one, vote to keep the lyre box. But then, I came up through the marching band side of brass music. It also makes other stand up gigs, Christmas caroling anyone?, easier. I remember looking...

Thank you for checking and for the screen shots. I found the exercises you were referring to (smile).

My issue does not seem to come from using my tongue to stop or release the notes. Fortunately, that is one bad habit I do not seem to have.

I do have the issue that my 1/16 notes are not uniform...

In my most recent lesson, my teacher said, "Basically, you learned to tongue wrong." (single tonguing) What he meant was that I was using moving too much of my tongue to articulate short notes like...

Questions for Trent Austin -

First, About the brushed lacquer finish - The horn on the far right in the picture with three horns is the brushed lacquer. Is that correct? Since the "brushed"...

Oh this is wonderful! Do they produce this every year? - Sara

Editing my post to say that "Yes they do!" (For roughly the last 20 years.) Now I am interested in finding videos of prior year...

If you enjoy sacred music, and you enjoy brass bands, please enjoy this with my compliments! ...

As far as audience perception of a performer facing away goes, just make sure that you tell them what you are going to do. Then I think that they will receive it well. Just don't leave them...

More questions - Where are these horns built? Where were they designed? The case in the video is very similar to what many JinBao produced horns are coming with. Are these horns made by the JINBAO...

For those of us who are not old enough, What did they say? - Sara

Toby - Were you thinking of something more resembling this...

There has been a lot of buzz on the forum lately about the Eb Alto/Tenor Horn. It is a rather obscure instrument outside the brass band world. But I wanted to share one place where it does get some...

Not sure if it is Laf-able because it makes the funniest sounds.

Or it is La-Fable because it is the mythical horn that is always in tune.

In any case, the link no longer works, so I am glad...

Sounds like a typo there. Perhaps it is supposed to be more like $6.569...? (European style for expressing large numbers) $6.5K sounds more like what I have heard of euphoniums going for. A horn...

I had the same thought when I saw the video. I enjoyed hearing the story of the horn. But I also said to myself while watching it, "Let's hear the horn." Give us excerpts where we can hear what it...

My money is on "YES!" Over the last year or two I have been casually looking into the physics of why horns sound the way they do, how they are made, etc. And basically all my questions come back to...

I need to watch this video again, because I am not sure that I understood option 3. But an interesting demo none the less. It is nice to know the technical of how our instruments work sometimes.

My thoughts were more about dealing with a halo during an Arizona summer. Yuck! As a Californian, I think that I have some appreciation for what that is like.

So to Dennis - Keep cool, keep...

So why not use an outdoor venue? Better air circulation for everyone, and more room to socially distance. I know there are challenges when playing outdoors, but it would seem to cover most of the...

In your post you wondered about how Boosey & Hawkes horns stood the test of time. I remember that was one of the big questions here on the forum about the JinBao made horns (like Mack Brass and...

The pictures did not come through at the link. Can you post pictures here too, so we can take a look?
