Strings are barely audible. I guess Mancini featured them in other numbers.

Consider uploading the arrangements to IMSLP.
Your best bet is probably to buy a used one, and then sell it later.
Spotify lists 1899 in the album metadata, not the song metadata. But the recording is clearly a higher fidelity than 1899.
Discogs says the album (Carnival of Venice, 1970-1) is a re-release of ...
You might not. Best advice I have is to inspect pictures for damage, learn which models have a good reputation, and be prepared to sell the ones you don't like.
Can you describe the euphonium that is too heavy? Do you hope to use the new instrument for other things besides the alumni event?
Just as a point of comparison, Strait Music (Austin Tx) will rent...
This is David's 1+3 gliss in the second video.
I think you're being to narrow here. Yes, that is the way a trombone gliss works. But an equally famous type of gliss is the harp gliss, where the hand is swept across the strings. This obviously...

That's good to hear. It's a bit clumsy with a leather trombone strap.
I'm considering trying one of these. Can anyone comment on how much it slows down getting into and out of playing position? Specifically, I'm a lefty, and would need to disengage to pencil a comment...
Silver polish usually contains a protective coating to slow down subsequent tarnishing. I guess you don't get that with the baking soda method. Is there an aftermarket coating?
I guess they went in and erased the background on those photos. But it makes them look doctored and untrustworthy.
Sea Songs was published simultaneously for wind and brass bands in 1924. My guess is that the brass band baritone part has the line, which was given to horn, sax, clarinet, etc. in the wind band...
The NEC video starts out with a thank-you to the student copyist who wrote out all parts from the score. So beware of what you might find at the LoC. The original is in the British Library, if you...
Hmm. A medium/euro Kelly 51D seats well after going in 1.5 inches. Does that sound right? I guess I always thought it went in too far. But maybe too far is good on a L.P. horn.
I won't follow the dark path very far. The current plan is to get it into shape so that it can play reasonably in-tune with itself, and then set it up (maybe with a practice mute) out in the open...
Does anyone know what was a common mouthpiece size (or modern equivalent) back in 1919?
Then you have a list of groups whose music librarians you could contact.
What publisher would choose to release a public domain work when it will immediately go up on imslp? They'll sell just one set.
Those things always read like a high school student BS'ing his way through an essay.
This video of Peter Graham's "Triumph of Time" for brass band shows cup mutes in use:

My local library (well... three towns over) has a music transfer station where you can convert tapes or CDs to MP3s on a thumb drive. You just have to be willing to hit play, then wait an hour....
Earplugs might work, but only if the dog will hold still long enough to get them in!
Try standing in different spots around the room. There may be a sweet spot somewhere.
I used to have a ceiling...
Feel free to update the list:
