Very nice. Compliments to your principal flutist, Tracy. Great job!

I believe that daruby indicated that a your instrument requires a medium (Euro) shank mouthpiece. That is what my Besson New Standard requires. I played it with a small shank Bach 6 1/2 for a few...

Expressive and impressive playing. Thanks for posting.

Butler University, Indianapolis, Indiana has a music program that you might wish to explore, especially since you are a euphonium student. Michael Colburn is director of bands and also the euphonium...

As I'm sure you're aware, Demondrae Thurman is professor of Euphonium at Indiana University Jacobs school of music. As Bloomington, Indiana is within driving distance of Interlochen, perhaps you...

Thanks for posting. I studied euphonium with Prof. Smith while he was at Indiana University. He was a great musician and a true gentleman.

I'm disappointed that we don't see what happened to the whale after the music stopped.

This is always an interesting question. 1st off, I'm an amateur, so other more skilled musicians may have differing experiences. That said, I've found that I get the best sound by matching the...

I believe that QHR is still in business. My unit came with the tapered black tube on the end of the clear vinyl tube as pictured on their website. It is made to fit any bore....

If you like the British sound, the Besson New Standard is one of the sweetest sounding euphoniums ever made. Intonation could be tricky but "lipable."

Acclaimed tubist and multi-instrumentalist Howard Johnson has died at age 79. I first discovered Mr. Johnson while listening to Taj Mahal's album, "The Real Thing." I was finally able to hear him...

I've never heard of this product. Please give us a review if you try it.

If none of the excellent suggestions posted above work, you may wish to have a low brass instructor look at your embouchure. I had a tone quality problem in high school (many years ago), and a...

Thanks Jim. I listened to the Canadian Brass version of "Where'er You Walk." To my ears, their recording sounded less like a love song and more like a march. Regardless of the interpretation, I'm...

I recently watched a streamed performance by members of the Academy of Ancient Music. (Wonderful!) For an encore, oboist Leo Duarte played an instrumental version of the song, "Where'er You Walk"...

Valve oil asked for and given. Thanks for your interest.

TAKEN!
I would like to offer free of charge to the first person who asks, a half bottle of Resilience valve oil and a full bottle of Resilience "Kick Gel" movable slide lube. (I'll have to limit it...

Hi John, Wow! I've never heard of such a catastrophic damage to so many home devices. However, that's probably because we all have so many more electronic devices today. I'm so glad that your house...

Thanks for the head's up. Tormod Flaten proved that euphonium musicians play at a very high level in Norway.

Thanks to all for input on appropriate ways to play Taps. As a lifelong euphonium player, I left that to the trumpet players and stood at attention while they played. Learning how to do it properly...

Thank you very much Dave. I don't think that I listened to that particular recording but can clearly hear the vibrato in it.
