I hope to be able to visit a conference one day!
To piggy back on this thread, would you recommend having a cover or something for when the euph is sitting on the stand so that it does not collect too much dust? I currently just keep my euph in my...
Along with an octave lower my teacher had me read them as tenor clef as well; works on two things: tenor clef reading and range!
Thanks for the reply Dave.
I can moderately double tongue but my triple tongue has always been subpar. I would be okay with any genre of music really, I'm open to any and all suggestions...
I recently started playing again after a 1-2 year hiatus. Slight back story. I was working towards my Bachelor's in Music Ed at Portland State University up until June 2017. As one would expect I was...
I have been perusing the conference websites trying to decide if I want to make one of them happen next year and I noticed a sad trend. There seems to be hardly anything happening in the Western...
Has anyone watched this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2Ki5dZ6oPw
Just curious to hear everyone's thoughts on his process. From the camera shots his horn looked very nice and well...
I recently got to meet him as well! (About half a week ago) Steven came to the Portland, Or. area and a few fellow students and I received an individual lesson from him. He's really quite phenomenal....
Hello everyone! I purchased a Mack euph around the beginning of this year and was wondering what your opinions would be on improving the Mack euph? The things I'm looking to upgrade would the...
Would the Alteri fit a mack brass euph?
The fourth valve is "louder" than the other three valves. When I depress valves 1-3 they have a much quieter sound, where as the 4th valve makes a very loud sound when fully depressed and when it...
Kind of late to the game in this post, but I bought my Mack Euph a couple of months ago and I have found that I have a problem with some water retention in my fourth valve causing the felt washer to...
I've used this book for the last two years in lessons. It's free on google now.

Works very well in my opinion.
As the title above states, I'm in need of some ideas for a solo to study. I've played Marqoue symponique (sp), and I'm just finishing the Mozart bassoon concerto. Any ideas would be much...
Thanks you two for the information! I'll definitely be keeping all this in mind while I try and re-learn trombone lol
I'm primarily a euph player and I'm going to be starting to practice bass bone for the up coming fall jazz season for my college.
The single trigger yamaha bass bone the school has came with a...
I'm waiting for some to come into the shop in California. They're 3 weeks behind what they originally told James at Bridge Point Music. It's been a helluva wait -_-
I'm the only Euph at my school, maybe ill see if the resident bone instructor will give it a whirl
I live in Washington state, so the climate isn't an issue. The horn is brand new, so unless it has some factory defects I don't know of. It doesn't appear to have any to me.
My school just got a YEP842. Its been a few weeks now and my pitch has been ridiculously sharp over all, with the exception of my 4th valve C being in tune with the slide all the way in.
To give...
Sounds good, thanks Dave! I'll try to keep that all in mind; maybe a notecard is in order...lol
My community college just got a new Yep 842 and upon switching from the yep 321 we had before, i noticed a lot of pain in my left wrist when reaching around for the 4th valve. Is this common? I know...
One piece that might fit as well would be Mozart's Bassoon concerto, mvt II
Thanks guys, your expertise is always greatly appreciated :)
Silver plated .6 with a SS bell and the wood buttons. I played on a YEP 642 for a year while I was at another college, and I played the schilke 50 because the 51D was a bit too large. So I guess Ill...
