I tried all three mutes and here are my observations:
Denis Wick Travel Mute:
It's small enough to fit into my euphonium without sticking out of the bell. This means I can store my euphonium into...
All interesting experiences. I'll definitely come back to post my observations when all of the mutes are shipped to our store. It will take about a week or so though.
I'll test several side by side. How would you describe the sound you get when using the Steven Mead Travel Mute? Every video I see for any practice/travel mute barely displays a difference....
I mean actual neighbors (my friends and I are living in a house near campus) and the people living in my house to some extent. Which practice mutes do you recommend? The Steven Mead, Yamaha Silent...
I'd like to hear some opinions from people who have used this mute Steven Mead developed years ago. I'd like to have a greater window of opportunity to practice, so a mute that can ease the noise for...
It's not an overnight process when you're moving into a larger cup diameter. It will take a little while before you become used to it. Your tone is more open because the Schilke 51D's isn't as open...
I own a York Eminence 4052 myself, and I'd say it's a great horn all around. The black plating is prone to wearing off but it's unnoticeable at a distance. I got mine used for $3900 and it's in...
My SM4X I ordered from DF Music Inc. came in today and here are my first impressions.... (I ordered a silver one to match my York)
I don't understand why people are saying this mouthpiece has a...
Guys...I got it. The seller found the original part haha

Thanks for the link, but I already have the plastic shield. It's the peg that is inserted into it so it can be mounted onto the horn that has eluded me...Oh and thank you for the info, Doug!
So any finger buttons (not valve caps) from a Besson or Sterling will fit my York?
So the Besson and Sterling finger buttons will fit? I do have the plastic shield, but I'm missing the peg that it mounts onto. :(
I bought it from my teacher's friend for a fair price. It's gently used but the black plating in some areas is worn and I'm missing some parts which leads me to my question asked above...
I just bought a York Eminence 4052 euphonium and I was wondering if the parts (finger buttons, valve caps, etc) for the Besson Prestige 2052 and the Sterling Virtuoso will fit the horn. I'm missing...
I just bought a York 4052 Eminence euphonium with the serial 501084. Does anyone know which year it was made?
Ok thanks!
Ok so you'd say that's a good price if you were in my position?
I've been able to try it in person for an hour and it sounds great and plays very well. I don't think I can afford anything more than this because I'll be going off to college in less than a year.
Is $4000-4200 a good price for one that has light wear (worn trigger and a small dent on the bottom bow).
I just got a response to my email regarding the true colors of the Altieri bag at Dillon's. They said it's black with a purple interior.
I could but then it would be $45 more than Dillon's and I'm more of a modest design kind of guy haha
Splendid! Seeing how all I've heard about the Altieri is good stuff whereas the Soundwear bags seem to have more quirks, I'll order the Altieri off Dillon's. The picture for the Altieri everywhere...
I'm ordering from Dillon's, so I don't think I can make a special order like that. I guess I could grab a towel if I really wanted to protect that fourth valve. Would you say that I can fit all of...
The 3rd and 4th picture in that first link you posted show a loose foam insert, do ALL Altieri bags come with those or was that a special order because I haven't seen that in any of the pics that...
