Sent you an email, Joe. I'm interested.

Most of my playing is CC, but I greatly prefer (my) F for most quintet/ chamber work. Honestly, I probably like my F more than my CC, but both are very nice instruments.

I was trying to say that I thought it was a waste of money. I think my C note saved me something like a week. Not what I would call a high-value expenditure.


Agreed, it didn't really save any real time for me either. They have been working hard to decrease turn around time. It was a noticeable ...

I bought a bag in Jan '24 and another around this past Christmas.

The first bag took about 16 weeks. The 2nd bag I paid an extra fee (around $100 or so) to cut the wait time and it took about 9-10 weeks or so, but that was with the holidays in there too.

Bags were great and the shop was very ...

Y'all might not get tracking...just mouthpieces.

Cb? But does it come in silver?

If you want a Helleberg style rim and a Bach 18-ish cup.

I like monster valve oils.

Thank you, Wade! These look great!

Bump drop to $100

Check out Bloke's post in the repair subforum, he talks about how the Miraphone 98 bell is very similar to what your looking for. He might be able to help! @bloke

Any update on this design?


There may be a few run off (again, on a lathe a helluva lot better than mine) in two or three weeks, but they would be un-plated, at that time.

I will tell you (if I didn't already mention it above) that it's more of a bowl cup and not shallow...
...It's (hopefully ...

I don’t have access to either to measure, but I have seen the 5th valve published spec on the 2165 5th valve as 0.807” (it sits on the small side of the main tuning slide) and the 6450 5th valve as 0.846” (it sits on the large side of the main tuning slide). I would think maybe they’re not the ...
