This stuff is NOT "hard"...but (as I'm contemplating playing on F tuba or F cimbasso on Sunday - locally televised - yet REHEARSED it on B-flat) I took two or three pics of a few pages to run a few licks on those F instruments (prior to the morning of the gig).

I did NOT bring the actual sheet music HOME, lest I (as bloke is wont to do) FORGET to take it back to the gig.

It's REALLY EASY to just snap phone pics, rather than (yikes! ) taking the charts home.


It's also sorta nice when the gig-sources send contractors pdf's prior to the rehearsal, but - often - they don't, so whatever...
Not just tuberz, but trumpeterz might like to know that they need their piccolos, etc...

I swear I know your brain. Went to a concert once.. Had to come back because I forgot my horn. Went back the second time to realize I forgot my horn, because I had realized I had left my stand. My kids and spouse laugh at me constantly.

I chose the 3+1 Eb equipped with the recording bell to be used instead for this particular poll.

An "interesting" choice, and/but page two of that piece features some D's up there, and that pitch is sort of nebulous on that instrument. The 8th partial is flat on a bunch of E-flats like that one, but - with the bell swelling out larger than normal from the bottom bow upward - that tendency is not improved.

I have a difficult repair conversion that I've been putting off. I'm going to go out to the shop and work on that today, and then run this piece with the F cimbasso. I think it needs more punch than my euphonium can offer.

Recording bells on television? Bring 'em on.
