    This is the first I've ever heard about the 842 playing 'way sharp. Now, I have never played an 842. But I played on a series of school-owned 321s, some VERY used, others brand-new, and I struggled...

    Hi John,

    I played Yammy 321s for years, and I never, ever tried to play the 4th valve with my pinky. Instead, I just reached across the front of the horn with my left hand and operated the valve...

    Today, 30 April 2013, I'm adding this message to a 5-year-old thread so that the thread will re-appear with the topics currently on display. Bell-size is the discussion, so this thread is pertinent.

    Hello Harry,

    I would say -- and so would many others -- that you should go ahead, pull the trigger, and order a real Schilke 51D. If you like the sound, that is pretty much all you need to know. ...

    Admittedly, it was in 2006 -- or was it 2008? -- I don't remember -- that I played the Jupiter 570. If the product has improved to a great extent, I would hope that Jupiter will launch a big PR and...

    Enjoy your new horn! My Sterling is a pre-Virtuoso, and my playing ability is most definitely pre-Virtuoso ... but anyway, my circa-1999 horn is a doll to play. I got into it for about $2200, and...

    I believe you're asking about Jupiter's non-compensating euph with the 4+1 valve configuration. I rented one in Germany for a month, as I didn't want to risk traveling with my treasured Sterling. I...

    Braces, bells, and sound

    Friends, this thread topic is inspired by a comment made by Brandon Jones on another thread. He was referring to recent "tweaks" devised by the manufacturer of the instruments he plays and endorses,...

    Here I go again about my pet mouthpiece, the Yamaha 53H (also known as SH-Special). Cup diameter-wise, it falls nicely between the two pieces you mention, coming closer to the SM-4 at 25.91mm. ...

  20. Buying an almost-pro level horn, for cheap

    Jochen,

    Cool! Share a foto if you can. Is it a so-called "Globe Stamp" Imperial, or is it an earlier one? After you've had more face-time on the horn, give us your opinions on how it plays!

    Bag or case?

    At home, my horn rests on a stand in the corner of my low-traffic music room. Whenever it's moved, it moves in a case.

    I just have a hard time understanding gig bags. Something as...
