Re: “New” Parker Mouthpieces?

I'm surprised nobody has posted a reply. I didn't get a chance to try them since I was working a booth, but his booth was always very busy with people testing mouthpieces. I'd love to hear what people thought.

Re: Show off your bell-front tuba!

York-aholic I own that Martin Medium now. I'm working on replacing the leadpipe one it. The one that was on it has a bunch of pinholes in it, which I discovered when I was cleaning it. It still played great that way, but it obviously needed attention. I'm working on creating a setup that is very ...

Re: Elephant Room Impressions 2025 (Please add yours too)

arpthark Lee Stofer had the Alex. I immediately thought of you when we took it in. Personally, I really enjoyed the HB2P at Baltimore brass. I thought it was one of the best examples I have played. The 6v Hirshbrunner played well, but it was heavy. 6 valves on a CC will do that. The Lidl 684 at ...

Re: WTB Cronkite Cordura bag for Eastman 836?

@the elephant The one that lists the 836 for it is leather. The cordura bag is a Gronitz PCK bag. We would be happy to take measurements of the bags and discuss it with you.

Re: WTB Cronkite Cordura bag for Eastman 836?

@the elephant @Aiden Pisterov

Lee Stofer has a cordura and a leather bag that should fit 836 sized tubas. I would encourage you to give him a call. I just posted photos of some of the bags available on his business Facebook page.

Re: Kanstul Eb F Standard mouthpiece

From what I remember, Lee gave then an RM 9 to copy. The Kanstul Eb/F mouthpiece is very heavily influenced by that Rudolf Meinl mouthpiece. Lee can probably give you more information on this.

Re: Any Direct Comparisons of HB10 and Adams F?

When I studied with him he had a piston Hirsbrunner F. I'm not sure which model model. He is a great guy. I'm sure he would be willing to work with you.

Re: Lee Stofer -No longer carries Lidl?

I sent this page to Lee hoping he would respond, but since he hasn't yet, I'll share what I know. I removed the Lidl tubas from Lee's website at his request. On March 4th we drove the remaining Lidl stock to Buddy Rogers Music in Ohio. At this time they are representing Lidl. We are more than happy ...

Re: Lee Stofer Lidl horns

@LeMark The BBb piggy is in the truck and will be at the conference. It's a very nice playing tuba. Of course, I may be a little biased as I thoroughly enjoy playing my Cerveny Piggy CC tuba.

Re: FS: 1970s Walter Sear Cerveny 601 CC Tuba, $3,000

Honestly, I would have to check again, but I don't think that they do. I figured it had something to do with damage control, but I haven't seen them on too many instruments, so I thought they may also be considered to serve some other purpose as well.

Re: FS: 1970s Walter Sear Cerveny 601 CC Tuba, $3,000

I would be interested to know more about those (for lack of a better term) "weights" that are soldered on the fourth valve tubing on the back of the tuba by the bottom bow. My (non-Sear) Cerveny Piggy has those in nearly identical spots. I haven't seen those on too many tubas. Just curious if anyone ...
