BOUGHT. Thanks for the heads up, needed a new one!
Hello All,
Large shank silver plated Wick SM4 for sale. I played this model for about 5 years, saw this used one on Ebay recently and wanted to try it out. Got it today and I'm more...
cmon, never say never Dave!
John,
I’m not in the retirement age range yet, but a lot of your post resonates. On a related note, the 2 live performances that stick out in my mind were both by older performers and had very...
Don’t know if this has been posted.
At the very beginning. Also fast forward to 2:50 in.

By chance does anyone know who the player in the video is?
Welcome Daniel and bravo!
I started a thread about this recently in the tuba/euph forum, asking the same questions. It took me a good month or so online before I felt like I had taught a really solid lesson. I never realized...
Like many others, I’ve been teaching through FaceTime and Zoom since March. It’s been a real adjustment. On the positive side, I’ve been forced to tighten up and simplify my verbal instructions. ...
Thanks Dave! I’m doing the Erik Leidzen band arrangement of the Arban version.
Enjoy your date!!
Happy Valentines Day everyone!
If you’re free tonight at 7pm Eastern I’m playing Carnival of Venice with the Baldwin Wallace Conservatory Wind Ensemble in Berea, OH. Live streaming link here:

Thanks all for the responses. Looks like I might be opting at this point for a road trip from New Orleans to Cleveland.
Going to be flying on Southwest in February and wondering if I could carry on my horn in the MB case. Anyone have experience with this? It’s the only case I own so I don’t have many options.
I’m really excited about a playable version of the VW concerto on the euphonium. It presents an interesting question for the soloist: How much should my interpretation be influenced by tuba...
I have fuller lips and agree with John that the Warburton mouthpieces have very comfortable rims. The Demondrae was on the big side for me, but the 4GD is a great mouthpiece similar in size to the...
Pete, check your private messages.
Gotta agree with the above post, it sounds like you already have your ideal mouthpiece. It’s likely that you just need some focused practice on your specific playing issues. If you’re really set on...
The Yamaha 842 is very user friendly. The Sterling Virtuoso is terrific and really sings. My former Adams E1 .6 Sterling was the easiest horn I’ve ever played by a mile.
In contrast, the...
Hi ametropia, I sent you a private message.
I’d definitely consider looking through the Giddings offerings. I recently picked up a DHWA-S, and it’s very close to what you’re describing. A 4 rim with a slight funnel shaped 4 cup. If you like...
For me, Thomas Ruedi achieves this balance on the euphonium. Incredible technique that I never even notice because he plays the euphonium like a violin.
Wanted to share a story. I contacted an older, retired amateur euphonium player in my local area this week that I hadn’t seen in a while. We had a lesson together around 4-5 years ago. He had been...
I learned a LOT from recording these regularly. There’s no place for bad sound/intonation/rhythm to hide.
Yep, every day. It changes depending on my mood, but some of my favorites are:
Bach cello suites
Various baroque sonatas (galliard, Telemann, Vivaldi, etc)
Arban melodies
Blazevich Tuba etudes...
This is hilarious, and unfortunately a pretty accurate description of my trombone sound!
P.S. upvote on Hiram’s Greg Black suggestion. Those are great Mouthpieces.
