Funny that I happened to be browsing through the forum today...I was actually able to obtain a copy from one of Phil Smith's students at UGA and played it on my 2016 Junior recital. It is easily one...
Wow! Whenever I play music that doubles one of the trombone parts, it always "feels" very strange to my ears. That completely makes sense, that it throws the chord balance off. However, there are...
Hello fellow euphers!
I just wanted to share a recording from my senior recital at Columbus State University this past Saturday.
This forum has been a huge help for me since I started digging...
For what it's worth, I actually just sold my MB case. I tried to fly with it this summer and it would not fit in Southwest's overheads, which are very generous. I was lucky enough that the flight...
What Mr. Werden said is spot on! Having your trigger F low in pitch will also make the F valve notes (5th position low D, 6th position Db, 7th position C) easier to reach and is a very common tuning...
Hello everyone and happy Fourth of July!
I have been talking with my former middle school band director about coming in to perform a solo with band accompaniment during the coming year. While...

Hi there Richard,
I am so glad that your daughter loves music and the euphonium!
Here are a couple of my thoughts:

Thank you all for the comments! I am very appreciative of my euphonium professor at the time, Dr. Martin Cochran for introducing me to the piece. There was an equal amount to work on from a musical...
Hello all,
I want to share a recording from my junior recital this December. The piece is Oskar Bohme's Trumpet Concerto in F minor- in my opinion a wonderful piece of "stolen" music for...
Hello!
Several years ago I ordered two hand guards (3rd valve slide and hand bar) for my Yamaha 842S from Leather Specialties Co. Unfortunately, I could never get the third valve guard to fit...
Hello, Tuba/Euphonium players!
Has anyone ever compared the Mack Brass euphonium with professional horns from brands such as Yamaha, Besson, and Willson? While it seems like the main crowd of...
Hi there Chris,
Although I have not performed this piece, I spent some time preparing the first two movements during the summer!
Like most other people, the first thing that I usually do when...
Thank you, Mr. Werden! I'd love to know what he says.
Hi all-
I'm not sure if this is the proper thread to post this on, but in preparation for this semester's studio recital I am looking for a piece to play.
I have always known of this beautiful...
Hello all!
Does anyone know how much dents affect the intonation of an instruments?
Such dents from dings, to crumples. How much is intonation affected.....and what direction (sharp or flat)?

From what I have heard, the DEG Brian Bowman mouthpieces were directly crafted using the Schilke 51D. At this point, Dr. Bowman had been already playing in the service band on the Schilke. So...
Hello all!
I made a little discovery whilst giving my horn a bath today. Although I have seen it before, when I took out my springs there was a thick film (Possibly dried valve oil and other...
Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone knows of any summer music festivals/camps on a collegiate level that a euphonium player can participate in. Many wind players have the opportunity to audition for...
Hello all!
Just wanted to say that IET 2014 at Emory University (Atlanta, GA) was one of (if not THE) the best musical experiences of my life.
The participants there were a great joy to mingle,...

My high school band is playing the march for our final...
Hello everyone!
I have a question regarding flying with a euphonium-and surprisingly it is not my first time. I am flying alone to Indianapolis for a national honor band in a couple of weeks. I'm...
