I think there is some kind of unspoken rule about not using terms like "4th band" or 5th band in a school setting, Even 40 years ago when I was in school they were using terms like "wind ensemble" and "concert band" when a school has more than 3 or 4 different band classes (I've seen as many as 5 in ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwcT-ud_XJw Chuck did confirm this is a chinese built willson, so it will be priced in between the 3 valve and 4 valve non compensating Eastman Euphs. Could be a winner! I do prefer getting 4 valve instruments into the hands of students ASAP, but if someone is dead ...

Middle school kids are playing these? :smilie6: At the risk of repeating myself, who o why do band directors keep on buying these not so great horns when, for the same or less money, they can buy Miraphone 186s? :eyes: I can't stand them because of the terrible valve action and the upper range ...

Let's not talk about what GM did to one of their best looking cars (1958) and turned them into this

ha! that reminded me. the first time my symphony did the planets, they were a little cheap in the hiring department, so they gave me doublers pay to cover both the tuba and euphonium part, with the instructions to just pick whichever part I thought was more important at the time. It wasn't the ...

i was so tired at the end of the last time I played the planets on Euph, I took the last high C down an octave

I have always taught in schools that bought the Yamaha.. Used to be All schools, now it's just Middle schools. the high schools here all use compensating instruments Here's the main difference between the 2,and I've owned and played the 2280 for a long time. In fact I have sold all of my 4v ...

in today's world of mobile phones, that doesn't bother me that much

the guy might be legit, but several pounds of awareness should be observed

IP doesn't match the given location. be careful

i played a pixar concert and the full movie of Home alone. In both concerts only the conductor had a click and that was all we needed. Both were sell out concerts and a lot of fun.

I used one here

Between my 1st cerveny 68, my piggy, and my 601, I played 4 valve cerveny CC tubas for decades. How? Because for whatever reason, 1-2-4 gave me a near perfect F, E was 2-3-4, and if I mashed 1234 and just didn't try too hard to get the low note, I could play a nice Eb. D was difficult but possible ...

my question has always been "what does a flat half step get you that a flat whole step does not"

for instruments with a sharp 2-4 combination, 235 is always an option

I'd ban the OP, but I'm enjoying him being completely oblivious to the fact that we know he's a complete fraud
