    Best euphonium

    Ok. This is just for fun . . . If money was no object, and you could only own one euphonium, which would it be?

    All great advice, thanks. My high range does need strengthening, especially in pieces like "Hands" where it's required throughout the piece, and also if it's played late in the concert. We also have...

    Sousa's most difficult march

    I've played a lot of Sousa marches, but never "Hands Across The Sea" until it showed up in our folder for our next concert. It's probably the most difficult I've encountered due to tempo and range -...

    Vibrato

    I've been working on my vibrato for several years and can't get the results I want from either diaphragm or chin/embouchure technique. I've read posts about "instrument shaking" not being feasible...

    Jaw pain

    I've recently developed on/off pain in my left jaw that feels like a tooth problem. Visited my dentist and he ruled that out with X-rays and lots of questions. He suspects it's my euphonium playing,...

    Yep. But even though I've resolved it, it still doesn't make me sound like David Werden or Rick Floyd. ��

    Yep. I think that's what it was. They apparently took the valves completely apart, stems and
    all. I took David's advice and checked the 4th valve stem. It was the same length as valves 2 & 3, so...

    Yep, the stem is slightly long on the 1st. It's not apparent when playing, but it's visible. I've had the horn about 6-7 yrs and would have noticed it I'm certain. Maybe could have been switched...

    Valve height discrepancy

    Noticed yesterday after practice that the1st valve on my Adams E1 is slightly higher than 2 and 3. I didn't have to time to look into it, but today I will. Don't know if it's a spring issue or not....

    Yes, it certainly slows down reading, especially in a fast passage. Rehearsal tonight, so I'll ask questions.

    Vibrato

    How long should it reasonably take for a euphonium player to develop a secure, strong vibrato? I've seen the videos and varying techniques, but it just seems like slow progress. I'm using jaw/lip...

    Stand light reacting to sound

    This seems odd. My battery powered clip on stand light was very dim a few days ago, even with good batteries. But about half way through band rehearsal, it just "popped" on to full brightness. And...
