    You know, I ran into the same situation about 10 years ago, but it was in the trombone section. I also left the band, but instead of going away depressed, I used the opportunity to start a trombone...

    I have a 24i (which is for sale, by the way) and I got a #5 shank from Doug Elliott, which I put on a G cup with a 104 rim, and it seemed to work better than other things I have tried.

    The Conn 24i is a 4v non-comp and has a trigger on the MTS. It can play a low Eb.

    I'm also a trombone player, and I have a hard time with the euphonium blow. I haven't had the option to try any fancy instruments, but I seem to fit best with American baritone, as it's most trombone...

    I just started a brass quintet (2xtpt, fhorn, bone, tuba) last year. I actually got a lot of music after getting a subscription to Musescore. The good thing about that (especially with non-standard...

    I followed your old posts on your 2280, and they inspired me to get a 2280. That horn would be great with a 5th valve for an extra low range. I eventually sold it because I prefer the front action...

    As a trombone player, I have a definite take on this. Just yesterday I took my Conn 24i Connstellation to the shop to be fixed up. I also have a Wessex Festivo. I have to say that I have trouble...

    I'd be willing to bet that one of his talents is video/audio editing. Nobody lines up 1/16th notes at that speed like that without some technical assistance. Still, impressive in a lot of ways, but...

    I was about to make the same observation. Doug has also told me that he gets less gunk accumulation on his lexan rims. Must be a real thing.

    I have a tough relationship with valves. I have some sort of odd mouth chemistry. My lips peel and I develop some sort of mucus. I always get a first and maybe second valve that seizes if l leave it...

    Metallurgically, things really don't work that way. Warming metal can anneal it, and cooling it can induce stresses, but the annealing only works at elevated temperatures, not at low temp. Molecules...

    I have played both 3+1 and 4 inline, and can play either. The 4 inline did take some getting used to. The only thing that's uncomfortable for me is switching valves 3 => 4+2 back and forth. I'm not a...

    I'm late to this. As a trombone player, there are several improvements I think could be made easily to the euphonium. (standing behind chicken wire)

    First, I like the 4 in front, non-comp...

    I have an older friend who had an operation on his lower lip. He hasn't fared as well. He had a big needle inserted into his lower lip, and it has been the lasting effects from the needle rather than...

    I use the rim to fit my face, the cup to fit the range or sound I want and the shank to fit the horn. That's how I look at it. I tried to use the same rim for tenor and bass, and it just didn't work....

    I used to collect mouthpieces and never felt satisfied with what I was using.

    Until I got Doug Elliott stuff. Now I have no desire to buy another mouthpiece. I have small, medium and large...

    About the original eBay listing, you have to watch the listings directly from Japan. Some of them have outrageously expensive prices, and some don't. I bought a trombone, Yamaha ysl455 for about...

    Or how about this guy (on the right) at 16:46. He's all zenned out. No neck restraint/emotive inhibitor.

    To me, that's the biggest problem with Wessex - no local warrantee shop, unless you consider Chicago local. If you have to send something back, that's an expense. At least JP has local(ish) shops....
