I absolutely agree with John and Joe. Don't tell my wife, but the happiest day of my life was when they delivered my Steinway (that was before we started dating).
Looking at the bore size, it seems like a euphonium - but with rotary valves and a smaller bell.

When I took up euphonium again in my 60s (piano had been my main instrument for over half a century), I joined a local orchestra that needed a trombone section - I played the bass trombone parts on...
Did you mean to get the 6-1/2AL? The AL has a cup shape generally considered good for euphonium. While I recall seeing 6-1/2A in the catalog, I don't recall Bach making a 6-1/2C (I just checked the...
In "Bolero," Ravel scored a passage played by winds in the middle range, with the same rhythm played by flute (or piccolo, I forget) at a fixed interval above. The idea (whether scientifically...
He's right about guitar amps; they are voiced to achieve certain sound qualities (a Vox sounds different from a Fender which sounds different from a Mesa Boogie). Some computer monitoring systems...
Does this count? 1981, moving a 130 pound Yamaha speaker cabinet up the concrete stairs leading from the basement (of the house I had then) - I had the speaker cabinet on my hand truck, and I...
That's the right thing to do. I did a little copyright and trademark work earlier in my career (before I settled into tax law), and I try to fully support protecting composer's and creator's rights.
Does this work? I'm not sure if this is legitimate.

Your ears are better than mine!
Composed by Franz Reis for violin and piano. The original is in concert E, with the highest note being B6 in scientific notation. My ear for absolute pitch is mostly nonexistent, but I'm guessing...
Have you considered Doug Elliott? You can select a rim that feels like the 51D (101 size, according to his website) and select the cup and shank that gives you the results you want.
Barry is correct. Think of the 9 feet of brass as a megaphone - it takes your lip vibrations and amplifies them (also changes the tone to something beautiful). When your lip vibrations occur at a...
If you're breaking this up, send to Sara, John, and anyone else what they want, and I'd love to have what's left over. I'll reimburse postage through PayPal or Venmo.
I really like the precision of scientific notation - middle C is C4. The tuning note for a euphonium is Bb3 and for Bb trumpet is Bb4. That flashy ending note for "Carnival in Venice" is Eb5 for...
Um, that's because your horn has a sterling silver bell, right?
I've used Blue Juice, Hetman, and Yamaha. Now I'm using Resilience and I'm very pleased with it - very little gunk buildup and very long lasting. The drawback: not widely available and a little more...
By the way, here's a link to the video my wife took when I played Taps for Veterans in front of my house.

Just a quick note: my Mack Brass horn has stainless steel valves. I think the valve set changed from year to year.
Hello Dean Surkin,
TapsForVeterans.org has received your registration to sound Taps during the National Salute on November 11, 2020 at 11:00 am your local time.
Here is a copy of the...
I participated in Taps Across America on Memorial Day, as did an elementary-school-aged trumpet player a few blocks away. We got positive feedback from the neighbors. I hope to participate in this...

I'm glad I could contribute something useful. And I love the term "stable range!"
Doug, it looks like you're using a note designation that refers to the partial on euphonium/trombone, which is one I haven't seen before. When I first saw your notation Eb6, I was thinking scientific...
