I'm not sure I can add much more light onto the situation but the "buzz' you have is more than likely caused by having an uneven or more possibly an inconsistent setting of your embouchure onto your...
Hey, there is a guy in Tallahassee who does a lot of repairs for the FSU music folks and he gave me a quotes. For a complete overhual and restoration it was like $850. He sent me some pics of his...
I'm a euph performance major in college and I just switched from a conn artist mouthpiece (falcone's personal model...rather like a 6 1/2 al) to a VERY large Giddings and Webster mouthpiece. I have...
hmmm... I guess in the end it's going to be whatever your preference is. I use holton valve oil for my valves and slide grease for the sides. So I guess every valve oil has been "specifically...
Thanks everybody for the info! I really appreciate. I am going to keep my Besson. You're right, the intonation is great and I have no upper register problems.... I plan on restoring (the lacquer...
Hello everyone,
It is certainly been a while since I've posted anything.... but I am in need of some help.
By Besson Sovereign Euphonium is a little interesting as the bell inscription says "...
I also have the Giddens and Webster E-1. Not sure how I feel about it though... It's quite a big mouthpiece and it has the possiblilty to delivery a huge sound with pretty good intonation however, I...
Not sure how much this will help but, when you are listening to recordings, try to understand what the difference is between your sound and their sound and then try to sound more like that. I had an...
My band director used to call my Besson Souvereign "EXCALIBUR" because I always kept it cleaned up....vbmodified
Not sure about the euphonium being the 5th part. My college quintet is me (euphonium), french horn, tuba, trumpet, trumpet. Best balance because you really need to cater to a rich, dark sound with a...
I know this might sound so elementary but the bach 6 1/2 AL on a small shank horn used to give me a good sound until I grew out of it. and if you ever come across a mouthpiece labeled "conn artist"...
Thanks for the advice Dr. Werden! I called the man yesterday and he said that he wasn't sure who the euphonium belonged to...apparently the owner dropped it off to the shop about 18 years ago and...
I'm going to check that out now. Thanks!
Off-topic, I have to gripe real quick: ...this repaoir shop that I go to (it's more of a junk yard for instruments than a repair shop) is full of a ton of...
For about the past 18 months, I have been the music director at my church for both the Catholic and Protestant services. I am also the organist and the pianist. During a special 9/11 service last...
It's hard to find any good thoughts about music and impossible to find much on euphoniums (go figure!) but here are a couple of my favorites:
1. Nothing separates the generations more than music....
I am looking for an older Conn Euph or baritone with a silver/silver satin finish...4 valves. I almost bought one on ebay about 6 1/2 years ago but didn't and have regretted it ever since. I will...
My brother is a tuba player whereas I am a euphonium player....you have to have a couple good tuba remarks... hahavbmodified
I owned and played a 4 valve Weril euphonium. I actually took it to Interlochen where the euph/tuba professor told me that my tone was too bright. That was the first time I had ever been told that...
There's a repair shop in San German in the south western part of the island of Puerto Rico. The man's name is Gregory and he is about the only person on the island who does any horn work (or atleast...
What do you call 2,000 tubas laying at the bottom of the ocean floor?
A good start!

How do you get 2 tuba players to play in tune?
Shoot one.

What is the range of a TuBA?
About 25 feet if you're strong enough.

The Weril euphonium was like the Yamaha Yep321 with 4 valves up top but appearance was the only similarity. The Yep321 is small bore and the Weril was a large bore. It was slightly larger and heavier...
Hello Squeakyonion:
I agree with what you are saying about the 51D being so wide-spread even though many people pick at it for being too restricting (I am one such person) but I think that the...
