I tried doing this about 10 years ago, and was told the market for such a thing would be too small to be profitable.

Here's an eBay sale of a euphonium listed under tuba. It could be a deal, but it looks like there's quite a bit of repair work needed (and cleaning).

Oops, I was thinking with compensating valves in mind. The combination of 14/G-flat attachment will probably be sharp. So I guess low C would be 124/G-flat attachment. Then I suppose B/C-flat would...
The Adams with the G-flat attachment is interesting. I assume that the G-flat attachment and the fourth valve would produce a low D. Then the following fingerings for the rest of the low notes,...
Sure, I'll have to take a few. I'll send them to your email.

Hi Rick, Micah,
I'm still playing on my black lacquer Hirsbrunner. I'm not sure if there's anything different or special about it versus a standard silver plated version. It's a 479 Exclusive...
Wow, beautiful!

Hi Mike,
There's this, unless you're set on piston valves: https://www.baltimorebrasscompany.com/p-7703-mirafone-54l-4-valve-oval-bariton.aspx

Wow, what a great collection!
The pictures look great, congrats!
Speaking of gaps, Warburton offers an interesting device to measure them. Here's the link:

Happy birthday!
Have you tried Matt Van Emmerik's mouthpiece? It's a "4G" size with 3 models of varying depths: https://matthewvanemmerik.wordpress.com/accessories-for-sale/

Wow! What a beautiful horn!

I'm sorry to hear this. RIP Henry Charles Smith.

I was just telling a student about these. I'm sorry to hear they are no longer being made. Perhaps one could be manufactured by a skilled repair tech?
Robert Pendergast, DM
Thanks!
Hi Dave,
Nice comparison videos. I think I prefer the DC3 better than the 4AL. There seems to be just a bit more presence and clarity with the DC3. Will you be doing a video of the DC3 and DC4?
...
I found this interview on YouTube. RIP Doc Louder.
David Miles and Earle Louder are featured in this video.

That's an interesting comparison. At first I thought the 4AL was definitely better. However, as the video continued I wasn't so sure. There are certainly characteristics I like from both mouthpieces....
Wow! This takes me back. I played this model, minus the gold wash bell, when I first started band.

Hi Rick,
Thanks for the kind words. It was nice meeting you too! That doesn't seem so long ago, but it was. Surely that's a sign I'm getting old. I hope you're doing well!
Warm regards,

Hi Micah,
Congratulations on this new commission! I look forward to hear the completed work.

Barry,
Jerry's products are fantastic. I can't recommend them highly enough and he's a great guy. I just received an order from him and took some photos.

There are a few of these "tromboniums" on eBay that might fit the bill. They're definitely lighter and brighter than your average baritone or euphonium.
