I think certain horns just are more stuffy than others. I play a Besson compensator made in the 1970's, and whenever I use the 4th valve, it is inherently stuffy. I just use extra air, and blow...

If you are looking for something around the 5g size, try a BB1. However it does have a very sharp rim, but is very deep, giving excellent tone. One thing I have noticed, which you might want to be...
So recently, there has been a lot of rattling when i play. Here are the notes in which the rattling occurs:
1st valve: Eb (major rattle) and Ab (faint rattle).
2nd valve: E (major rattle) and A...
Still, I'm very unsure if I need to switch to a larger mouthpiece, or stay at the same size. I play a 51D, so a BB1 would be about the same size, and a bit darker but sharper from what I understand....
Ok so the narrow rim of the 52E2 would be similar to the sharp rim of the BB1, but which do you guys think I should go with? They both are supposed to be narrow/sharp, but if I went with the 52E2 I'd...
I'm pretty certain the 52E2 will be deeper than the 52D, but I'm more concerned on how narrow it is supposed to be, could somebody please clarify what being narrow does for a mouthpiece.

I was thinking about getting a larger mouthpiece, and I really like the 51D I play, so I was considering getting a larger Shilke. I'm assuming the 52D will be like a larger 51D, but I noticed the...
As opposed to a sharper rim, which would decrease your endurance because of the uncomfortableness?

This might be a stupid question, but shaper rim means it would reduce endurance right? And a flat / round rim would help endurance?

So I was wondering, how is the BB1 in comparison to the 51D? They are both about the same size, 25.5 for the Shilke and 25.0 for the BB1, and deep cups. I have heard very good things about the BB1...
I was curious which mouthpiece would give the best results on Besson. From my understanding, the Steven Mead mouthpieces give a darker sound, yet more people prefer the normal Denis Wick mouthpieces...
I am a high school student and I love this forum. It's really informative and nobody tries to be rude, and if they are taken rude by someone they are very apologetic. I think the lack of young...
So every once in a while I'll be in a situation where I need to play bass trombone (such as in a jazz band) and I'd like to buy a good bass trombone mouthpiece. So what's the standard size for most...
Ok, that sounds really good. I'm 5'10 as of now, but still in high school so I'll probably grow a few more inches. If I decided to get very serious in playing, I was strongly considering a Miraphone...
For the people who supported the 3 valve compensator idea, there are 2 three valve compensators on willson's website, the 2727TA and the 2750TA

Anyone know the size of the miraphone compensators compared to some other horns?

Just thought I'd point out, this euphonium has completely replaced the standard Yamaha YEP 642 on wwbw.com.

No it got towards the 2nd bend (the top of the instrument) but did not go past it.

My tuning slide had a slight curve about 6 inches into it, so the drumstick wouldn't work but I am happy to say that I wen't to the local music shop and for free they used a snake wire to dislodge...
I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have gone past the tuning slide, it was an average white water bottle cap. So Dr. Werden, if i used something like a hose, and put it in the main tubing slide, it should...
On a similar note, one of my bandmates today thought it would be a funny idea to throw a plastic water bottle cap into my horn. So now I have a cap stuck in my horn. I can still make a sound, but it...
Judging from your responses, it seems as if this is a very possible switch to make. My only question now is if it is necessary? I have been playing euphonium for a little over 3 years now, and I am a...
So anti tarnish silver polishing products would be the most effective on the satin silver finish?

On ebay there's a brand of chinese instruments (i'm assuming) called e. f. durand that make wagner horns. These are only about $400, which is pretty inexpensive for a new euphonium, in case anyone...
Hey I use a gold plated Shilke 51D mouthpiece, and I was eventually wanting to play on a 4 size, such as a wick 4al. I was just wondering if you guys thing I could switch from a 51D to a 4al without...
