Might be 50 years ago but still sounds good! The tone is a bit brighter with a .580 bore horn and a 6.5AL mpc but still good. Reel to reel tape recorders bring back some fond memories.

There’s a vent hole in the bottom of each valve up through the middle to the top of the valve so air won’t be trapped and the valve can move freely. I had a partially blocked vent hole on the top of...

I know that Robert Pendergast, aka 'euphisto', plays or played the stealth model Hirsbrunner. Haven't seen him post here in the forum in quite awhile. I remember him performing at SRTEC in Sarasota,...

That does look pretty bad. Unfortunately you can never return music but maybe if you complained to Carl Fischer they might send you a better copy. Might be worth a try.

How about something like this Mark?

Thanks. It could be my ad blocker, forgot about that.

Interesting and a bit challenging march. Never heard it before.

FWIW, the embedded video doesn't play for me but the link to YT works fine.

Very nice, Dave! I always liked the march, "Semper Paratus" (always ready).
...one of the few marches that doesn't add a flat in the trio.

That's a great list Dave. Not being in a military or pro group, I sometimes have to suggest alternate fingering for a pitch. Also during periods of long rests I'm in the habit of raising one finger...

Great story, and interesting motivation to play 2nd baritone!

Too funny!

I went looking for a video of Salvation Army's Chicago Staff Band but no luck. Did find a decent one by the Natural State Brass Band in Arkansas linked below. The dialog is more...

Yep, I agree, we should purchase the Fennell version but I don't control the purse strings.

Thanks Dave. I found that one but it only says over 500 errors in the original work. Yikes! I suspect there will be lots of 'pencil corrections' on members parts already.

Our band is planing on playing this great piece at our first concert this season. I've played with Symphonic Band of the Palm Beaches now for nearly 25 years and have to admit I've never played this...

I don’t like switching mpcs usually cause I find intonation may change and I chip more notes. But after our 2-1/2 year shutdown due to Covid, when I started back to playing regularly I had to drop...

Wow! Dirt cheap at that price Mark. Looks like 3-valve compensator too. If nothing else there are spare parts that can be used.

Hi Jim. Welcome to the forum. The Yamaha 321 is an excellent intermediate euphonium. May actually be more than a student in fourth grade needs, but something they could definitely grow into. The...

Just found this a bit ago. The Marine Band Alumni concert was just a few days ago. Two former directors were there, Col. Michael Colburn (Ret.) and Col. John Bourgeois (Ret.). Also three euphonium...

Good idea Sean in starting this thread! I'm going to move a few posts here from the 'Baritone Buying' thread since they were off topic.

Unfortunately those moved were placed above Sean's first...

Three days ago the "President's Own" U.S. Marine Band played, "Gemini" (from Zodiac Concerto) by Anthony DiLorenzo. A duet featuring horn and euphonium. Hilary Hording on horn, Mark Jenkins on...

Hickey's Music Center has a wall hanger for euphonium or baritone but the picture is not that great.

Here’s a link to an experiment I did with my Yamaha 641 back in 2008 — which includes pictures. Like Dave mentioned a heavy 4th valve cap adds some mass to that area of the horn. The 641 was recently...

Very well done sir! Excellent!
