First I'd like to Thank David Werden for having this website. As a result I got a referral to a WTB for a Conn 90G on Euphonium-Tuba Forum. Thanks also to David Shinn who referred Stuart Dye to me with a excellent Conn 90G.
I received the Conn 90G today. It has a Remington labeled mouthpiece with no model number listed. I also have a Conn 25i and use a Conn adapter with a Bach 6 1/2 AL. My Conn 25i came with a Conn Remington 5 mouthpiece.*
After cleaning the valves and mouthpiece,* I played the Conn 90G and found it a little awkward to hold and didn't have a very good playing response. So I put my Bach 6 1/2AL with the adapter into the receiver and it didn't fit at all, it was much too small. I put the Conn Remington 5 in and it also was too small.*
So what's going on? Did Remington have more than one standard size shaft? Is this analogous to Bach Small and Large shafts or was Remington different entirely?*
Thanks for your help.
Have a good day.*
