    That was a favorite of mine to play on piano back in high school. However, I'm restricting my arrangements to public domain pieces or those I've written myself. Thanks anyway!

    Those looked bigger than bass saxophones (Bb - one octave below a tenor sax). They may have been contrabass saxes (Eb - one octave below a baritone sax). However, I've looked at photos of contrabass...

    Larry:
    I'm curious - what does Capital Music Gear charge for shipping? It's something to keep in mind for the total cost.

    I say light swing. I think if an arranger or composer intended heavy swing on a jazz piece (or a standard song composed during a period when jazz was paramount), it'd be notated as dotted...

    I believe the Mack Brass 5500 is made by Zo. See this page; the model number is the same 5500 and elsewhere they name Mack Brass as one of their dealers.

    I bought a Mack Brass euphonium a number of years back. It needed some adjustments to the first valve. Tom told me to bring it to a local shop and he'd reimburse the cost. That's exactly what I did,...

    Perhaps find a used Conn trombonium (valve trombone shaped like a euphonium)? A friend had loaned me his for a while when I was in an orchestra and not yet confident in my trombone ability. The tone...

    I'm surprised the conductor or administrator of your band did not limit players. For example, with the orchestra I'm in (I play 1st trombone), we recently turned away a flutist because the flute...

    This makes me think that the Getzen bass trumpet I inherited may be salvageable. D4 is terribly flat using a Bach 12 (came with the horn) and a Bach 6.5AL the mouthpiece on use on my Bach 36B...

    I used the Kadja by Giddings for a little while. I liked the fact that there was no plating to wear out or tarnish. The mouth feel was comfortable. I wound up switching to the Bowman BB-1 because I...
