I had wondered about that. The prices seemed a little too good and there were a few using the same pictures on different listings, so I decided to not risk it when I was looking at a Neo.
Bramwell looks in better shape than me at 35, lol.
To Bramwell!
Yeah, it seems they don't get messages from their Contact Us form. I emailed them and got a response in less than 24 hours.
How did you get in touch with them? I sent them a message through the "contact me" page back on the 25th and haven't heard from them.
I was cleaning my old Besson 3V compensating tuba (I think its a 1968 223) and noticed the 3rd valve spring was smaller than the other two. Anyone know if this is right, or did that spring maybe get...
The Mike McLean mute has sold for $50. The Denis Wick (https://www.ebay.com/itm/266428035074) and Best Brass (https://www.ebay.com/itm/266422059304) are still for sale. No clue if the Mike McLean...
That is a nice touch. I've seen too many cases (pun not intended) where the handle is an unreinforced leather strap that after 10-20 years just degrades and eventually snaps.
I've had one of the Comfy Horn Straps for a little over a year now, and they are nice, it's always bothered me that it can be a bit of a faff to pull your hand out to turn pages or whatever. I felt...
Yeah, I I kinda talked them down in my original post - I could never make it as a salesman. I have a bad tendency to talk myself out of a sale.
It seems like it's hit or miss for these sort of...
I've now posted these on Ebay:

I second getting a repair person to do it. A lot of times the valve guide needs to be "fitted", that is, filed down slightly so that it fits perfectly to the horn. So unless you have a few extras in...
Over the past few years, I've been trying out practice travel mutes (ones that fit flush in the bell with the horn in the case), trying to find the one that works for me and my horn. For my last...
Sold!
So, funny story with this one. I tried to buy a HBC right before they swapped it over to the ABC, and had the page open in a tab when they "locked it down" behind a password. However, since I still...
I'm selling my Adjustable Bottom Cap (ABC) that fits Willson, Wessex, Adams and UK-made Boosey & Hawkes Sovereign/Imperial Euphoniums for $80 including shipping to the CONUS. I accept payment...
I have read and agree to the terms above.
The Conn Constellation and Reynolds Contempora models both were available with 4 valves and had a mechanism that allowed you to adjust the main tuning slide while playing. The Contempora was unique...
Does anyone have an idea at what model this might be? This was before the "New Standard"s, right?
Yeah I noticed that after I posted it and edited my post.
I messaged the seller and they sent a pic. One of the legs of the slide is detached and stuck in the outer tube.
There's a series of concentric circles on the bottom that are supposed to tell the type of threads that it fits. This was revealed to me by the manufacturer when I received the wrong one for my horn...
Out of curiosity, how much did it sell for?
I've been looking into this for myself as well and haven't been able to find much of anything either. I might give it a shot and I'd be glad to share if I can get it to work.
