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 ...

Having a Yamaha 321 Eb 4valve which really plays well, and missing a 5th valve myself, I wounder why this fine tuba never got 5 valves in the first place. And I do not mean a plug in valve in the 4th tubing, but a real independent 5th. Problem is that I cant figure out whee to place a 5th ...

So nice, much better performed than the original plumbing from my 1877 summer house. ... . ...

Daniel, there is a Kanstul front action 5 V Eb tuba for sale in DK from a shop, here

Easiest solution is to get the receiver reamed or swapped to standard American size, or if you wish, Euro size. Then you can use any standard mouthpiece. I had the same horn, and used either a DW 3 (small shank) or a DW ATU 4 with the shank turned down on a lathe, both worked really fine with the ...

Maybe I should schedule mine for a "restoration"...or (as the Germans put it) a "Technische Überprüfung". You are referring to the one eBay seller from Poland, I guess?. I never understood why he is using these words. It just means that a "technical inspection" has been performed. He never claims t ...

See if you can find a used Wessex Dolce, maybe? 3+1 compensated, good enough intonation, fine sound. Can be found used fr around 1000 bucks

Lovely - congrats. How do you get B natural and E natural with 2+4 in-tune ??? Much lipping down, or some other trick ?? Can you pull the 4th slide on a Cerveny 601 ?? I think those two sharp notes plus avoiding the akward 23 to 24 shift are the best reason for a 5th valve ...

It would be hard to go wrong with a Miraphone 1291! It checks all your boxes. If cost is a factor, perhaps not. Thanks, yes, I know the Miraphone 1291 and 191 exist and check my boxes, but have never seen a used one near Denmark for sale. New price is prohibitive, unfortunately. ... I remember ...

@Rick Denney With FatBastard, the vast majority of the time when I'm using the fifth valve it is to play low E with 5-2-3 (to remedy the literal shortcomings of 2-4). It is nice, because I can just punch buttons and cut loose without reaching desperately for either the fourth slide or some second ...

Willson made the 3100 which was a 5v Bb MW makes the Fafner with five valves Miraphone offers most all Bb offerings with a fifth valve option It’s probably easier to find a 5V C, but you’ll likely be far happier with a Bb in terms of finger management. Thanks for these pointers. Did not think of the ...

... I agree completely that there could be some bias. I also think that the slow downfall of King/Conn has led to an increase of demand on other mXxranufacturers. Yamaha is simply too expensive compared to other brands and isn’t winning bids like they used to. Interesting how a specific question a ...

Nice to know, thanks, I will much consider it.
