Re: most brass repair videos on Facebook...
I always hire a jazz trio to play over in the corner of the workroom when heating up bells with a hobby torch to temperatures that don't do anything...and using gadgety tools that I would never buy.
Cringy! I couldn't watch it, after noting all the mistakes in the first 2 minutes--and I am not a ...

Re: Teach me about tuba conferences
So cool to see how much support our workshop has! Looking forward to providing another great one in 2026!
Thank you so much for your answer!

Need valve cluster for King tuba/sousaphone
A friend of mine is trying to obtain one so as to add a 4th valve to a 3-valve that plays very, very well. Any out there?

A friend is selling his CC, asking $3200. in very good shape. He sent me pictures, but I can't figure out how to attach them here. Please email me at: scottwest46[at]gmail.com and I'll forward his email to you so you can deal directly.

I took pictures of the finale on Saturday evening, but I have no idea how to get them linked here. Great workshop, great concert last night! Looking forward to next year!

Re: U.S. Army Band TEW 2025 - Who's Going?
We got here at 2.30 pm. The visitors trailer is closed due to a broken water line, and has been for 2 weeks.Therefore, we waited almost a hour to go 200 feet and the MP to ask his sergeant what to do with us. We told him there will be a couple hundred like us and he quickly got on the radio for ...

By "Visitor Center", you don't mean the trailer where we have to pick up the permanent pass for the 4 days, do you? And, why?

Another example of how the techno-tyrants remind the littles that they are not part of their club?

Re: Double flats
Within the chord structure, the Cb and Ebb fit; B and D don't. Confusing reading it this way, but accurate for the chord.

Re: U.S. Army Band TEW 2025 - Who's Going?
Can't speak to the other points, but I think you just need photo ID. You may have your car searched. I had a sousaphone bit in my seat looked at curiously when I last went which was (eek) 13 years ago.
A lot has changed in those 13 years! Now the security is much stronger. If you fill out the ...

Re: U.S. Army Band TEW 2025 - Who's Going?
I am seriously considering attending if at all possible. However, I am quite the babe in the woods about the arrangements. The last time I went was decades ago and I only went for the day. This time I would want to stay for the whole thing. So I have tons of questions.
1. Do you have to pre ...

Re: U.S. Army Band TEW 2025 - Who's Going?
It is odd that the TUSAB website is still not updated with information about 2025. The facebook page lists the performers/clinicians, but nothing beyond that. There is no mention anywhere about the locations for the workshops, or whether or not Bruckner Hall is to be used or not. There is ...

Re: U.S. Army Band TEW 2025 - Who's Going?
I look forward to another TUSAB Workshop, especially if Lee is correct and it is back where it belongs. Last year was clunky, to say the least, but better than nothing.
Maybe we should all wear badges? lol
