Thread: Euphonium Accidents

  1. #21
    I have been fortunate to never have anything major happen. I have two small dents that happened during community band rehearsals. For the first, someone showed up late and was trying to squeeze in front of me to get to their chair. They knocked over my music stand. While I manged to block it, the hevay folder hit and left a small dent. Another time, the gut that sits next to me didn't put his mouthpiece in all the way and it flew out when he lifted his horn. Fortunately it just grazed my horn. We did have a trombone player that actually balanced his horn by sitting is bell down on his chair during break. Of course, someone knocked it over and then stepped on the slide when they were trying to catch it. The lesson is always put your horn in a case and out of the way if it is not with you! And carry a bat to keep people away!

  2. Hello everyone,

    I have seen many accidents happen but I think the most accidents that I have seen have occured in transit when using gig bags or even hard cases.

    Best Wishes,
