It may be a long shot, but I saw you were selling a Mercer and Barker Solo 51 Euro shank. If you still have it, please let me know if it is still...

Thanks! Read the thread. Lot's of great info there.

I made the one for my euphonium from stock PVC plumbing tubing and a couple of plastic end plugs intended as hole plugs for wiring holes in desks. ...

Keep in mind, “problem” is relative. My besson 2052 isn’t flat on the A, but the 5th and 6th partials are high. Every horn has a compromise.

I just checked it and you're right, I never knew that was a 'Willson problem note', explains a lot actually.

No shame. I'm glad it was such a simple fix.

Having a mostly in-tune instrument takes some of the fun out of euphonium playing :p have had to do some creative alternative fingerings on various...

274 by a mile. I have one for sale for a great price, but I dont know how expensive shipping would be. If you are in Texas, let me know

Thanks, this is helpful

Are you absolutely sure that you didn't inadvertently switch the pistons in the valves? Accidentally switching 1 and 3 seems to be the most popular...

Thanks for the clarification.

The JinBao instruments sound fine. My euphonium professor offered the opinion that my euphonium is a good instrument. (For the record, mine is a...

This is the key. I'd want to be sure of that before proceeding. Otherwise, I too have butchered a few mouthpieces in the manner that franz...

I bought a Mack Brass euphonium a number of years back. It needed some adjustments to the first valve. Tom told me to bring it to a local shop and...
