I remember seeing Ryan McGeorge as a "Young'un" back when he played the US premier of Blast (version 1) at the Wang Center in Boston. This was after the PBS/London fund raiser concert and before they...
I just saw an advertisement for euphonium auditions coming up in June for "The President's Own". Get out you best mouthpiece and polish up your horns. This is a "biggie"!

I already own the best euphonium (for me). My very own 2017 custom E3 prototype with the short action valves, .070 yellow brass, .060 Sterling Silver bell, and custom engraving, is "almost"...
I don't have pictures nor do I have my 24i anymore, but in the past I had used felt + cork washers. Most recently, my repair person used composite (rubber/cork) washers + felts. He also used a...
Dave...I have never played a 4i/5i, but I know they were produced AFTER the 24i/25i production shut down. It is possible that they used the Connstellation leadpipe and shank. If you look at the...
Please note that the Connstellation receiver is NOT the same as the more well known Conn 88H Remington trombone shank. The receiver on the Connstellation was unique to the 24i and 25i (and perhaps...
Post a picture of your horn. The 4i was a "triggerless" 4 valve horn built by Conn-Selmer in Abilene in the 70s (the Elkhart built 24i disappeared in 1968-70). The valve block and 1-2-3 tuning slides...
Sorry. This post is 7 years old. The SM4B is long gone. In fact. All of these mouthpieces are no longer with me.
This sold today for less than the Buy-it-Now
WOW!!! Great to see a dwerden member Barry Bocaner on this recording. And MAN can Tiffany Johns play the Eb mellophone like I have never heard it played!!! I loved the performance and the...
Ryan McGeorge plays a Sovereign 968 (I believe). At the time that he joined the Marine Band (2004), his personal horn was a Hirschbrunner. The 1st euphonium at the time was Phil Franke playing a...
On my Besson 2051 (German version) I used Hetman Slide oil (typically used on trumpet 1st and 3rd valve slides). I forget the number. I would clean the slide legs and the receivers using a swab with...
Yup...sure is.
Got it after returning from England this summer on August 9. Sometime around the end of August, I tested positive. My wife came down with it 2 days later. Knocked me down for the better part of a...
I would participate and include list a couple of donations. I will PM you Mike.
Mike,
You absolutely can go and the store is quite extensive. I think right now there isn't a lot of euphonium inventory, but I know they can do a great job. You can call the store direct and...
Don't think so...Dave Werden should know...
Custom Music is NOT a Sterling reseller and hasn't been for a very long time. I know of no Sterling reseller in the US at this time.
A couple of corrections. My euphonium was/is .70 yellow brass except for the .60 SS bell.
When I auditioned in 2017, it clearly played with a richer sound and felt more responsive to me than...
Mike,
I did not. I played the E3 he had, but I didn't want to mess around with his horn...plus, it is configured almost as an E2 and is heavy for me. I listened to him play my E3 and his E1/2 and...
I can verify that there was a LOT of interest in the Adams euphoniums two weeks ago. Gary brought an E2 and E3 as well as his own "E1/2" I had my short action E3 there as well. All four horns were...
I spoke with Paul Riggett last week. Sterling has not been acquired (nor would I expect it to be).
Note. AFAIK, Willson valve guides will work as they are both based on the bauerfeind design.
Serial numner 682932 is 1982-83. The 765 is the model number. Pictures would help in getting some feedback on comparables from those on the forum who might have additional constructive feedback. A...
