Geez when you said I missed a thread you weren’t kidding. I also feel like a kid waiting for Christmas and that’s just for being able to see it in person.
Congratulations again!

Yes and no…we all learned how to lip things in tune and we were encouraged to spend time with a tuner at home. But it’s probably more accurate to say we were taught how to blend rather than be in...
I’ve picked up/adopted some new toys while we were on hiatus, including a fiberglass Bb sousa. I’m not currently using it regularly. If you want to give it a test drive on a Wednesday night to see...
While I can’t presume what others think, I know that if a more expensive, traditional name brand horn came with two slides, my reaction would have been “This is brilliant!” because my brain really...
I’ve never touched one, but what about a german-style oval baritone? They’re also front action and rotary. I don’t have arthritis but my small handspan likes rotary tubas more than piston and they...
The black cordura I ordered for a tuba arrived last Friday. It took about 10 weeks (never sent an email).
I’m not qualified to have a strong opinion on this at the college/professional level. But at the amateur level, the contention over our arranging philosophies is a running joke between my husband...
I thought along the same lines. If money wasn’t an issue then I should be able to travel as well. I guess if I absolutely HAD to make a blind choice, I’d probably give in to sentiment like an idiot...
Congratulations and enjoy! :D

Ann, I’m going off topic but I can’t shake this feeling that we’re sectionmates. In fact, I’m almost sure of it. Your location is East Coast so I’ll respect your...
Found this within the pages of the Muppet comic book series. Turns out Honeydew has a hobby. Can’t find anything on “The Gallant Bazaar” though.
I've always felt a kindred spirit in the original Brassmaster. With the flute as our sword and the low brass as our shield...

I'm kind of in the middle of a "Carnival of Venice" phase right now.
So...a few months after picking up a euphonium for the first time (from flute) I was...um...offered the opportunity to play...
At least the lacquer and the gold brass bell versions were on back order as of last week.
I agree. He's a very encouraging presence on the internet. From what I can gather from his videos, it's been an uphill battle for him to get where he is now as a player. So I get the impression...
This was one of the first pieces I got when I first joined a community band near me. I thought I was joining a very low key group that played middle school/easy high school stuff. It turned out I...
I've never made this particular switch, but when I was in high school I was "promoted" to piccolo for marching band. The transition is much faster than jumping from flute to…well...euphonium. I...
I can't believe I never thought to try the third valve. :p
That helped a lot actually. Or at least it allowed me to climb the next rung. It's inconsistent but at least once I was able to play...
Hi all.
I'm pretty new to euphonium and I've come across an interesting problem. While working on improving range, I've come to realize that I am having considerable difficulty getting a high...
Thanks for the welcome!
I do have my eyes on the Mack/Dolce and will probably go that route. It's amazing how accessible these instruments have become recently. It's a real internal conflict to...
I'm new to euphonium in general so I've been lurking around for a while with not a whole lot to contribute. But I saw this topic and thought it might make a good first post.
I voted flute but...
