Dean,
The BB series reminds me very much of an older British brand called Kosicup. I saw/tried a few Kosicups when I was in Lincolnshire a few decades ago. In that sense, it's kind of ironic that...

Nice to meet you and welcome to the forum.
Sunspot numbers are rising and things are perking up on my favorite band--10 meters.
I've got an Antron A-99 that I'm waiting to raise...
John...
Birthday greetings from Indiana!

Indiana Wind Symphony is doing "Symphonic Prelude--Black Is the Color..." in a couple of weeks.
Loved the way he played that Connstellation!
Ann...
The big question remains unasked, hence unanswered:
In what kind of ensemble are you playing?
If you are in a brass band, a baritone will be ok on a baritone part, not on a euphonium part...
Hi!
I lived in Grantham 1n 1989-90 while I was on an exchange program teaching at Harlaxton College!
I played with the Grantham Concert band under MD Geoff Kirkby, but I understand the band no...
The two testing opportunities I had the pleasure to conduct have left me with very positive experiences:
*I enjoyed playing two very different styles of euphonium.
*We should all be enthusiastic...
...and have a look at the 1st Tenor Tuba part to the Janacek Sinfionetta. I think there are about 21 consecutive of those B naturals. Add to that the Alec Wilder Sonata, that STARTS on that B natural...
Yeah, but he didn't have a very good ear for music.
Jawel, maar hij had geen oor voor muziek!
Richard III:
As I have stated, John Morgan has provided a marvelous set of pieces played on the Sinfonico. I most highly recommend them to your attention.
Guido,
Please check out John's recordings, and I'm sure Dave will make a few. It doesn't get much better than that. My setup would most likely not present the instrument to its actual sonic quality....
As part of the “Beta Boys” euphonium testing team, I had the opportunity to work with the Wessex Sinfonico euphonium for a week or so.
Since John Morgan has given us a set of videos demonstrating...
How old are the students? I've done some things for US 6th-7th-8th grade so 11-12-13 years old, with 1-2 years of playing experience.
What grade level?
I'll be posting my review SUNDAY & will do as you ask!
Jim
Joe,
Enjoy the Doubler! I enjoyed play-testing it
I had a collection of 25 or so amateur radios from the 40s and 50s--Hammarlund, Hallicrafters, National, Johnson, etc...still have a couple in...
Bill Evans Trio--Gloria's Step from the famous Village Vanguard 1961 afternoon.
The first ten measures--two five-bar phrases.
I have tried to play this tune but with the five-bar phrases and the...
Yeah, but not nearly as bad as having something stick your neck out for you :)
Anyone had it? If so...
How was the actual surgery?
How long were you off the horn?
Did breathing become easier?
Any unanticipated consequences?
Thanks...
I had it today.
What I've lost at age 69 is tongue speed. I pulled out the Mozart Bassoon concerto the other day and tried to play at the usual tempo of 120. Couldn't get faster than 96 on the sixteenth passages! I...
John and Nick:
I have a line on a Yugo that actually runs 100 yards before falling apart.
Only $32,750...incredible collector car!!
The Neo is back in my hands...i'm keeping it.
I still think the best balance point is a King or Conn as I mentioned above.
They're not terribly heavy, and the front-action valves are more ergonomic than any
3+1 IMHO.
A King or Conn will...
Jimmy,
I'm still about 30 mins. south of Indy. Smartest thing I ever did was to get the heck out of NYC in 1970.
As to mouthpieces, here's my $0.02:
1. Using euphonium-sized mouthpieces on a...
