Re: Not a tuba, but a concert/classic mellophone

Here are some more photos. I’ve included scans from a catalog that shows separate slides for the keys of D/C and F. I don’t have the C/D slide (assuming the F is covered by my Eb/F dial because I can’t see anywhere else that would go) but I’d like to locate the C/D if someone has it rooting around in ...

Re: How common are five-valve euphoniums (not DBE)

Thanks everyone for your replies. I have no experience with a five-valve euphonium but the 3+2 configuration has always looked interesting. My Conn double bell is a 4+1 (the four main valves are pointing up, not out) and I've always been interested in seeing what a five-valve can do.

How common are five-valve euphoniums (not DBE)

Hi, I’ve considered looking into purchasing a five-valve (3+2) euphonium (just for the heck of it) but I was wondering if these are available for sale from time to time. I’m specifically considering the late 19th/early 20th century, like a Boosey, Beuscher, etc. Not ready to take the leap yet just be ...

Not a tuba, but a concert/classic mellophone

Hi, Recently I was given a 1905/1914 (different websites have different years for the serial number) HN White/King concert/classic mellophone. I have found little information on this online and am hoping to find some guidance. The first thing is that it came with extra slides and I am assuming these ...
