Upgrading?

Vegasbound

Buy the 3b, very versatile horn and hold their resale value if you change your mind...... Contact DJ Kennedy he has many 3b's of different vintages

Also you do not say if you have a teacher? If you don't then get one will help you get the best start

Vegasbound

Great stuff

Vegasbound

Put the horn on the stand and go do something else, come back tomorrow

Vegasbound

FYI Doug, it was announced over the weekend that Ade is now a partner of Fodens band as their repairer, he is also bass bone with Rainford band as well as being the low brass repairer for the RLPO

Several people I trust have recommended Adrian Jarvis (Merseyside) to me and I'm planning to visit him soon-ish to get a few bits and pieces sorted out. Whilst I agree what has been said about Adrian I think you will find he is just outside London in Buckinghamshire unless he has recently moved and...

Vegasbound

There is one on eBay.co.uk. In silver if you go for it and he won't post to the states you could have him send it to me and I will post it out to you if it helps

Vegasbound

Also Roy Cox is in Kent

Vegasbound

Gale is outstanding and a perfectionist

Vegasbound

Dave at Phil Parkers also does great work

Sharon McCallum in Wales is another, and Ade Jarvis also

Be on time, be prepared, be versatile, be clean, don't be a dick and do not try and steal other people's jobs when depping (subbing) As others have said more ways than winning an orchestra, freelancing is hard especially when you start out (and often beyond) but if you want to try and make it then g...

Denis makes all his mouthpieces in the UK, don't worry about it

Vegasbound

You could replace the inners with .525 such as Bach 36, probably need to replace the outers too

Vegasbound

The 35 is a student model, almost indestructible as Stewbones said you can march through a wall without fear of damage and .487 small bore

The 10-10 etc where the pro line (to use modern parlance) but as with all horns it's how it plays, so we await your review with interest

Vegasbound

It's the only way

Vegasbound

Just remember no matter how you store them, you have to lift the box/crate

Vegasbound

16m can be a good horn, but not as versatile as a 3b

Vegasbound

I would never buy a 3B for 1000$. For this price, you get very beaten up horns. But if you buy from a friend, or someone you trust, it could be OK. Also I think a 3BF is better, if he plays 3rd chair in a big band or something like that, but they are more expensive. Very sweeping statement and not ...

Vegasbound

How much time are you spending on the 3b during your daily practice? As other say it's a different approach and sound concept to bass trombone

Vegasbound

Contact DJ Kennedy, he will have the 3b for your son.....he is the trombone whisperer and has the ability to put the right horn in the hands of a player....he also is the source for great vintage Kings to suit all budgets

Vegasbound

Have the Skype session with Doug

Vegasbound

Tempo's where .491/491 nickel bells often thought of wrongly as a poor mans Jiggs they are usually great playing horns where as the 606 is a student model

Vegasbound

What was the Facebook post referring to as standards?

Vegasbound

Talk to DJ

MMaggio

Chas Colin lip flex

Jack's solo on the Shaw recording is possibly the career making 8 bars,. But I would still listen to his recordings with his own band

Vegasbound

IMHO also listen to both takes Jack Jenny recorded with his own band

Vegasbound

Urbie

Buddy Morrow

Warren Covington

Don Lusher

Murray Mceachern

Dave Steinmeyer

Aubrey Logan a very talented singer too

And others

Vegasbound

Have a lesson with Doug

Vegasbound

Price? Location?

Vegasbound

Got to agree having it chopped was not the best imho, you could have contacted DJ and just bought a straight 3b bell section.......

Vegasbound

Did you know that he was originally a trombone player? Superb arranger--probably the most prolific big-band arranger on the face of the earth. Sammy was a great trombonist, check out his solo recordings when he was with the airmen of note, prior to that he was with the Marines Presidents own On his...

Vegasbound

Sad to learn that the legendary Sammy Nestico passed away this morning. At 0800 hrs according to a message on his social media (Facebook) and that the family asked we keep his music alive

The C was used as a prefix to the serial numbers in both 1963 & 64 the number following identifies which of the two years it was made in 1965 it changed to an E

Prior to 1963 no letters preceded the serial numbers

Talk to Doug about his alto shank

Vegasbound

Having suffered with this problem for years I can highly recommend trying the Besson 940 . Thanks! I've seen several recommendations for the Besson 940, so I might go that route. Unfortunately, whatever I get I'll more than likely have to order it since we don't have many options in my area. Dillon...

Buddy Morrow was holtons big name player right through from the late 30's through to the end of the 1960's DJ is the one to chime in on the vintage Holtons, but they developed from various model 65 to the later 67 and the stratodyne their are several versions of each regarding bore sizes and bell ma...

Just email Doug

I use carmex although the blend here in the uk is not as good as when I get it on visits to the states Chop saver is another I have used....another thing I do and used it on the ships after a heavy night of playing is to put my mouthpiece in a glass of iced water then onto my chops to help with any ...

There is a thread already running about this

I was skeptical about that. The person who reccomended this also said that it's made of fish oil. Anyways, say I'm out of lube and I can't go to the store because of lockdown, what is the best alternative?

Amazon

Vegasbound

Have a lesson with Doug Elliott, will save you time and frustration

Vegasbound

There is already a thread on this..... Andy Martin

Vegasbound

Another Yamaha 613 leadpipe

Why do you want to change? What is it you hope to achieve by changing just the pipe?

DJ Kennedy members list

Vegasbound

I would chat to DJ he may have a 3b in your price range, and he is the trombone whisperer

Vegasbound

Try them both, buy the one you like the best
