Re: Meinl-Weston euphonium: How's your compensating range response/intonation?

I LOVED the sound of the MW euphonium I had a while back.

I LOATHED its intonation, as you might remember.

That sound with good pitch would be a nice horn.

Re: humorous horn/trombone/tuba trio

I had to listen to it again to remember what you were talking about. I didn't remember doing anything particularly special. The overplaying just seemed to fit, so I did it.🤷‍♂️ This reminds me a little of all the compliments I got after playing Pulcinella one time. Apparently they were accustomed to ...

Olds 14 Tuba Mouthpiece

A band director I know just sent a note asking about currently available tuba mouthpieces comprable to an Olds 14. Apparently they have had students using this very old (no pun intended) mouthpiece for quite a while and would like to replace it with something similar. If this person were local to me ...

Re: Besson 983 BESSON 983 E-flat TUBA - 4V front-action, compensating, silver, WINTER hard case

I am fond of the idea of having at least one bass tuba in a wind band section. It creates a sort of bridge between the sounds of the big tubas and the euphoniums, especially on divisi tuba parts. I've used the 983 in a community band situation. It worked just fine.

Re: Besson 983 E-flat - front-action compensating - UK made - silver - Winter case - superb condition

I would PARTICULARLY do so were I mostly a trombonist or bass trombonist (looking to double on tuba) because a 4th COMPENSATING valve functions just as does an F-attachment rotor...except the "slide positions" (in the "F-attachment range") are auto-adjusted by the Blaikley Compensating System. Good ...
