Very nice! That sounds a lot better than the cassette copy Fred gave me long ago. Back then I asked him why he took it up an octave later in that piece. He said, “Because I could”. Tone, style and...

Not sure this is the physics you’re looking for but Sara Willis (hornist) has a video of her during an MRI while playing a natural horn. Linked below is what happens to her oral cavity when slurring...
The 621 is a non-compensating horn but is a good horn. Similar I think to the Yamaha 321, BUT, with the 4th valve on the side.
See Snorlax post about this model here:...
If you happen to have a ‘Best Brass‘ practice mute, that could also work in protecting the bell in its case against movement. See the second image in Dave Werden’s post awhile back shared below:

Hi Johnny,
Since you’re used to playing with a 48 mpc I might suggest a Wick-5 or Schilke 51D. Both of those are available in small or tenor shank.

The USAF Band has been able to play concerts while practicing social distancing using special dividers. They seem to be doing it pretty well too. No live audience of course. Every musician is mic'd...
Man, what a great resource! Thanks.

If you want info on how to best pack a horn to ship, Norm Pearson has 10 yr old thread on TubeNet that’s still there. He shares some great pictures too. Be sure to scroll past the ads for more...

Hey Josh. I like to use Hagerty’s silver polish myself. The spray on works best for me along with old clean T shirts. For getting into tight spots I cut a T shirt in strips then feed it thru tight...

Don't know the price but here's one for sale just last month by DutchEupho:

I don’t visit TubeNet too often anymore but happen to see a used Yamaha 642 (lacquer) for $2400. From the one picture he shared it looks to be in excellent condition. I do not know the seller but...
I remember reading (on another network) where Matt at Dillon Music said, “Use Blue Juice, you’ll thank me later”. When I take my horn in for its yearly service my tech always says that it’s pretty...
Very nice! Thanks for sharing.
I haven't experienced any gunk issues with using Blue Juice and Hetman slide grease.
Me neither! I’ve been using those two together for about 3 years with no issues.
Nice Jake! Looked like fun—if not hard on one’s back and arms.
Yes, Happy Thanksgiving to all!
I’m still using Blue Juice and will stick with it. No complaints and it helps keep my valves cleaner.
