I took the trip to Dillon's Music store in October and bought a King Legend 2B+ from them. The service was outstanding and me and my local friend immediately felt at home there. Davin and the other...
I really need info about another store in New York or close proximity that carry Yamaha because Dillon does not have the YTR 697Z in stock until January. Yamaha doesn't have it either.
Can...
So I guess that Dillon Music is numba one ;-)
Great! I'll go to Jersey when I get there in october :-)vbmodified
I am thinking of going to New York to buy an instrument. Since the Norwegian krone is strong and the dollar is weak I would have to pay one third of the cost of the same instrument an that covers for...
This is what norwegian tubists and trombonists is facing when they are on a gig with Satyricon. Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation aired this show during P3 sessions last year. Notice the Cimbasso...
I played the Boosey 967 in the local band for a while and also bought a Besson 968 of my own. After two years or so I figured that I didn't like the sound of it and changed to a Wilson 2900(which I...
This fifty piece brass ensemble was playing in Konzerthaus Berlin. I saw the concert on Norwegian television and noticed that the euphoniumist played at something that looked like a three-valve...
I would like to thank David for creating this forum and also thank everyone here for such an inspiring community.

I place the mouthpiece on the music stand sideways so that the outer rim is slightly...
Years ago, when I really started to pursue a career in Euphonium playing, I completely lost my sound and flexibility due to embouchure fatigue.
I was 19 and went to study at a high school that...
I have a Peter Gane mute that I'm very satisfied with. It has a softer sound than the Dennis Wick when playing piano yet a nice snarl if I push into a forte or fortissimo. I think this mute is doing...
Ok
Second thoughts here.
I have been playing around with these two mutes for a while now and I must admit that the Wick mute ha some advantages over the Yamaha. It IS more open in the high...

The score is in .pdf format and only 4.6MB.
Long since I had a dial-up line. Nowadays it's more common with broadband. Mine is 2Mbps download and 350kbps upload.

I do envy vocalists and string players that can use a long portamento as a natural ornamentation and of course is able to use it with taste.
Like Anna Netrebko here: ...
Fantasia on Tormod Flaten's Flight: 10:51
Rostropovich clocks in at 16:13 playing the first suite.
I would say that Tormod is following the tempi set by the composer.
Rostropovich also plays...
If you want I can email you the score. I just downloaded it from imslp before it closed down. I'm sure you have it in your excerpts book, but a score can sometimes be handy when listening. I also...
I'm aware of this, but I have a friend that has been making triggers for euphoniums for the last 15 years. The first ones he made was totally useless. Now after making 20 or so of these he is really...
That's exactly what I expected when I first heard about Chinese export. The reason I bring it up in this forum is that the instruments I tried (one tenor trombone and one bass trombone) was actually...
Here in Norway some of the bands have started to buy Chinese built instruments to 1/5 of the price of other brands according to Norwegian prices. I have always regarded the known brands that we...

What Wozzeck are you talking about? Is it the Alban Berg opera? I take it that you're not talking about band music.
By the way - Alban Berg is one of my favourite composers. I'm sorry to...
Thank you very much!
I notice that a Yamaha trombone YSL-697Z is half the price of what Norwegian shops are selling it for. Of course tax is coming on top of it, but still I would save about...
With todays exchange rate I am very tempted to buy stuff from the US. Does any of you have anything bad to say about this store?

Ah yes. Thats the problematic ones.
For a couple of years I used the 4th valve on these notes, but nowadays use my lip to intonate under. I find it easier to hit the note like this and the sound...
