Hello!
Your story sounds somewhat similar to my own; 15 year break after playing the trombone.
I would agree with you and avoid the cheap looking ones. While some of them here and there are...
Wow! Great job Doug!
To go through all that you've recently gone through and be able to keep up with the full-time students is a testament to your ability. I'd also like to commend you on your...
That's what I'm thinking. While I can adjust it so it's all even it throws my control, tone, and sound way off. When I transition from the bottom of the staff to the top quickly in a slur I need to...
Ultimately there are two important things.
The sound and the health of the lips. If you are achieving the sound that you like then that's okay. However if your lip tends to get numb or you can...
Have you tried JW Peppervbmodified
While custom mouthpieces are going to be the absolute best for any individual I can't bring myself to get one.
Whenever I think "mouthpiece" I focus far too much on mechanics/second guessing...
Wow, great info. I never would have thought to check there.
And what are the odds that they used to play the euphonium?
Maybe it was fate!vbmodified
Yup it was the first thing that popped up on a search. Some interesting tidbits of advice and those charts are wonderful. The new ITEA website is fantastic but the pedagogy portion is a little hard...

Ouch! I recently joined a second community band (a larger and more involved one) and I feel even more invigorated than when I joined the first one. Playing in the bands keeps me upbeat throughout the...
Ebay is generally a safe bet if done carefully. Look for a seller with a proven track record (i.e. very high feedback rating and has a decent number of feedback) and you shouldn't have a problem....
They were able to help me out with most of it!
Thank you very much!vbmodified
Congratulations!!
Sure is great now that the wait to get your hands on it is over isn't it?
I took out my Conn 14I the other day and had some fun with it. They really are nice horns and respond...
No it's not paypal. I recall there being a service as Dr Werden described but I can't recall who it was either.
I'll keep looking.vbmodified
I recently began playing with another band as bass and am wondering where I might find the individual tuba parts to music? I ordered some of the marching folders from sheetmusicplus.com however the...
The best explanation I've found is located here:
Tuning in simple terms
Basically you're going to play the notes you frequent most and try to get the best average. Start with no valves and...
The case my dillon came in is a nice little one with no malevolent odors, no wheels, no straps, sturdy wood, and a bit bigger than my Yamaha case. Odd since I only got mine in Marchish.
I use a...
I purchased one of these for similar reasons, 4 in-line isn't feasable due to an old injury to my right pinky and the 1065's were so many months away.
The Dillon has a bit darker sound than my...
I like the SM4B for my small shank Yamaha, but it took a long while to come to that choice.
There's just too many minor nuances between mouthpieces that it's a big task to approach fully. I'd...
Majestic!
Marvelous find Rick, thank you for sharing!vbmodified
Sounds like a beauty.
Now the hardest thing of all...musing over playing it for 2 weeks!
Best of luck and start working those chops!vbmodified
It's not a bell-front model but there's a King 2280 up for $799 right now.

An Arban's in Bass Clef should do the trick!vbmodified
I'd say it really comes down to two questions:
1.) Do you prefer the Yamaha or the Besson sound.
2.) Do you have plans to step up to a compensating horn at some point.
