My son has skyped several lessons with Demondrae. AFAIK they went fine and they had a great time.
My son plays a Miraphone 5050 and has a Marcus Bona case. He just traveled to 4 grad school auditions on 16 different planes. He was able to carry on the horn on every flight without a problem. No...

We have traded a 1967 Besson Raw Brass Comp Euph and a Jupiter Student Euph along with 4 mouthpieces for a Miraphone 5050 with case plus about $5000. We got about $2000 for the euphs and Mp's. I felt...

My son went straight from a 51D to a Wick Heritage 4ABL.vbmodified
Just got home and found an email from my son. He got the Warburton listed above as well.vbmodified
My son's 5050 definitely came with a mouthpiece, don't recall which one and I think he sold it. I can check for the specific mouthpiece if you need it.vbmodified
Another option is to spend a session or two with someone certified in Alexander Technique for musicians. They will assess your stance and quite possibly see what you can do to minimize the stress. If...
I make them myself for my son's euph.vbmodified
The clear plastic plate prevents your stomach from interfering with the tuning slide.vbmodified
If big sound is what you are looking for, as well as Besson you could try a Miraphone 5050 or one of the Sterlings.vbmodified
My son is a college junior. He majors in Euph Performance and Music Ed. He also takes private lessons from one of the trombone profs and sits in with the trombone studio. He plays trombone in a brass...
