Great! I will never again have problems with un-clean fingering of fast passages!

Good morning, i recommend www.cargoboard.de It's worth to take a look. German DHL ship boxes 120x60x60 around 20 Euro. Thanks, will try and see if it works from Denmark too. No, not really, seems only to be B2B Wir bieten unsere Dienstleistung ausschließlich für Unternehmen, Gewerbetreibende und B ...

Found one option: UpS takes 300,- Euro for the palleted cargo ... any better options around here ??

Can one still send half an Euro pallet by train ?? 30 years ago I did send an entire motorbike by train, from Italy to Germany, that went OK ...

I want to send a Cherveny 641 Bb tuba from Copenhagen, Denmark to southern Germany for a reasonable price. I cam package securely, either in the dimensions 120x55x65 cm, about 20 kg, in cardboard box with wooden enforced corners and plenty of soft stuffing, or 80x60x130 cm, about 35 kg, on a half ...

My experience with 5 valve Eb bass tuba is pretty much the oppsite than Mary Ann. I play a MW 5+0 frontaction piston Eb tuba, where the 5th valve circuit is rotary, and the largest in diameter. I never use false tones, the correct fingering (involving a 4th slide pull for F) speaks in all cases ...

Or buy this one viewtopic.php?t=10959 order the 5th valve from Alexander and slap it on. ....

And the Alexander model 151 5 valve bb baritone tuba here is in production. https://gebr-alexander.de/en/products/b-baritontuba-modell-151 Kaiser bariton or baritone tuba, well tomatoes tomatoes, its the German name for an euphonium. The American or British baritone are considerably smaller in bore ...

And the Mirafon bb Kaiser baritone with 5 rotaries is still in production, see here https://www.miraphone.de/bb-kaiser-baritone.html

I would love to try it

I think Lätzsch in Bemen made one some 15 years ago, saw once a picture. Its with rotary valves. Never had a chance to try it, though.

This is the hard part. It's easy to find many sizes of round polished steel balls, but football shaped?
Where do you buy these?

If you pay to play, its an addiction. I am severely addicted to low brass playing. Comes with well known additional conditions as TAS ( tuba aquisition syndrome) LBP (low brass plumbing) and FWB (forgetting wifes birthday).. .. have to leave now for some tuba tooting. ..

Hmm. Option 9) 5 valve non compensating does not need to use the very sharp 4+2 tritonus, the 5th valve can be tuned to give a very reasonable, slightly flat 2+3+5 tritonus, and a pretty good, slightly sharp 4+5 quint. These two combinations are the main raison d'etre for the 5 th valve tuned as a ...

Now this is a garage sale!!!

Well, a .525 bore trombone is IMHO a very fine instrument for the Bolero solo, especially if played with a matching mouthpiece. I would prefer a Bach 6.5 size, or a Yamaha 48 size, of whatever brand the player likes the most. Bell size is actually not that important for the tonal color, its more ...

For sale is a Cerveny ABB 681 4/4 Bbb tuba, age unknown, in good working condition. Brass bell, no krans, 400mm, bore 20,2 mm, 4 valves. The tuba had dents and creases removed from bell and main upper bow, traces are still visible. Otherwise no dents, no case and no mouthpiece. Laquer loss in ...

I'd like to see a picture of your slide tuning late in action. ...

I am happy with Lilypond. For those who want a comparision between Finale and Lilypond, see here http://www.musicbyandrew.ca/finale-lilypond-1.html

There is also Rosegarden and Frescobaldi, a GUI for Lilypond

Yes. It does. I am mostly switching between a MW Eb 5v tuba and a Holton/Bach bass trombone this way. Very beneficial to switch to another instrument and play the same music with different technical challenges. Its like my brain ceases getting blocked in technique, and starts thinking music again ...

I bought a 3 cm diameter strong magnet and various steel balls, the larger ones hollow, from Amazone. Some I did fine sand and polish myself, others where perfect. Works just fine. I glued a thin plastic sheet on one of the flat surfaces, to avoid scratching the instrument, otherwise I just use ...
