repairing badly screwed up top action euphoniums
Posted: Tue Aug 29, 2023 9:06 pm
I'm not I'm going to post any pictures or type a bunch of blather about going through this batch of instruments I just went through for his school, but - as a general statement - really really messed up four valve top-action euphoniums (in particular the four valve in-line non-comp ones) are about the toughest things to put back right compared to any other type of brass instrument.
Some of the stuff I encountered with this batch of three - two of which were Yamaha, and one of which was Jupiter - actually made me chuckle. I had a choice of doing that or crying.
edit: I just fixed the title of this post.
AI obviously (badly) guessed at one of the words I was about to type...and (not noticing that it had done that) it didn't get deleted until just now.
