Re: Musings On Learning E♭ Tuba
In the US, tuba is concert pitch and you just learn the fingerings wether it’s a BB♭, CC, E♭, or F tuba. That’s a much simpler approach to me. I don’t know why all brass isn’t written in concert pitch, but it is hilarious when your trumpet player forgets that Sleigh Ride is written for C trumpet and ...

I first searched woodwind.org, but a lot of their website is broken. I just moved from Louisiana to Connecticut and am looking for lessons for my daughters (horn and oboe). Previously I played in the Civic Orchestra of Baton Rouge. I would bring my daughters with me to rehearsals and they would take ...

Re: Musings On Learning E♭ Tuba
…Their range does only go down to Concert A (I think that that translation from transposed treble clef is correct) but for quite a lot of stuff that’ll do. Occasionally you’ll need to put something up an octave and that’s normally no issue, and some clever folk manage to get some lower notes via pri ...

Re: Musings On Learning E♭ Tuba
Update:
I have finally purchased an E♭ tuba.
http://alturl.com/vv8ea
I really wanted a 4 valve Yamaha or Besson. I’ll just have to cope with three valves and upgrade in the future when I have the funds.
I thought this was a good deal though and it comes with a hard case.

Re: Horn Shopping- addiction and frustrations
What I hate is when you see a beat up horn and the seller is asking for mint price.

Life Update
I’ve been looking for an E♭ to play in brass quintet this past year. I had someone offer to sell me their YEB-321 at a very reasonable price the same day I was laid off. I started a new job today and am in Chicago training. So I’m going see CSO on Thursday. I can’t wait to hear their brass section in ...

Re: world class sound
So I bid on this before asking if it was for an E♭ tuba, just because. It’s definitely is to small for my BB♭ and to big for my euphonium. If I ever get that E♭ im shopping for I guess I can find out if it’s any good.

Re: Miraphone 1260 Intermediate 4 Valve Eb Tuba
I’ve been waiting for one to come up for sale.
Though, I am considering getting that York at Dillon as a cheap way into a good sounding E♭horn. But after a valve job, adding a 4th valve, and getting a case; it definitely is the cheap route.

Miraphone 1260 Intermediate 4 Valve Eb Tuba
This tuba has been listed on Reverb for over 3 years. https://tinyurl.com/5dyxm7sc Miraphone model 1260 Eb tuba built in 1971. Non-compensating horn similar in design to the Yamaha YEB321S which sells for $6300 in yellow brass. Personally, I think it’s because it’s over priced at $3500. The seller co ...
