I don't really disagree with this -- so long as it's not just an expedient decision to avoid developing a reliable embouchure and perhaps discovering...

Welcome to the forum! I'm glad you found my tuning video useful, but it is possibly STEP 2 in the process for you. My full process for testing...

Did you buy it from a local shop? (Assuming you live in the US) is there a story behind your acquisition? :)

From looking at pictures of the 7566 on the website you shared, Larry, the 75 & 8566 look very similar, except for the trigger. Maybe the 7566...

I have the 8566. It's a great horn, but I haven't played it in any large venues to say whether it sounds much larger than the other horns I've...

That's what I'm here for :)

Who cares if someone else can play it differently--it's YOUR horn.:D I have had the MTS shortened on several instruments I've owned over the...

I’m pretty sure they’re primarily a local store, and aren’t focused on long distance or internet based sales. The couple of times I’ve been there,...

My experiences with the Cerveny "Emperor" are identical to Dave's.

I have no experience with their euphs (other than my 1965 Amati oval euph, which doesn't count). I did play a Cerverny 781 BBb tuba for about 20...

I tried their top model, the Emperor, several years ago. I found it to have an enormous sound, but it was very difficult to play. Hard to center...

And ... I find that playing interval exercises are the very best way for me to nail down both proper fingerings/positions (switching from Eb/EEb tuba...

I’ve seen their rotary valve trumpets, oval euphs/tenor horns/baritones. Howver, I am completely ignorant of their full sized, 3+1 compensating...

alright, thank you!

oh thank you! i’ll be sure to watch that.

oh ok, thank you!

oh ok, thank you so much!

Umm ... sorry I missed that -- in your first sentence. :rolleyes: Then it's not the horn; it's the player. So I'm not sure what your query is. ...

Others play in tune on my horn with the tuning slide an inch out, barring the usual 5th/6th partial issues.

Have you had anyone else play your horn? Do they have the same problem? That might be a good clue as to what direction to go in. I did have a...

I’ve never found Paige Music’s website very helpful in identifying what they have on hand for sale.

Regarding music theory (which I often think is a misnomer, but let's not go there :)), the only book I have ever found that I thought provided an...

Do you have a local college with a music dept? I took an “Ear Training & Sight Singing” course back in the 1980s that I still benefit from to this...

Yes, those are good tips. In line with this, I was just re-watching Dave's "Building Strength & High Range on Euphonium and Other Brass" which...

I just saw a video today by Natalie Colegrove on getting a good sound. She offers some good sound tips. She performed with the U.S Army “Pershing’s...

If I hear a melody I would like to play I noodle around on my horn a bit to find the key it’s in. If that key works for me I keep working on the...
