Another thing to add, i use a 10cs on small tenor and i don’t think there’s an issue there. But then again, i’m never play small tenor for more than an hour or two. Even then it’s in class and i’m not playing the entire.

So lately i’ve been practicing bass trombone a lot more than euphonium but euphonium is my primary instrument. I’ve been having a lot of endurance issues with my audition etudes on euphonium. I can play for about 30 minutes and then i need like a 15 minute break. If i play the same etudes on bass tr...

What are these supposed to do? Another tone gizmo?

I’m sure your local tech won’t charge for restring. The ones near me don’t and my shop doesn’t.

Brass ark posted on their story about an 80H. Can probably find it on their website
No offense, but I don't think that's quite the one, Conn re-used model numbers a lot and that wrap is different from the 88H.

None taken. This is a thread for an 80H so i thought i would put it here

My bad if it came off as an annoyance. I hadn’t read that specific reply. I was just saying what i would do if i had infinite funds. If i were actively looking for a 3b i would probably get a straight horn. Something just feels better to me about a straight small bore. Moment of truth! Have you pla...

You could try penetrating oil

Elow

Get a 6h. Or an Olds Ambassador. Nice one for sale cheap i hear. A 4h is never going to sound dark. Don't waste your time or money. Why would you want to? Have you ever tried a 24h? An old one, like from the 30s. That's gonna be like an 4h, but much less bright. Olds horns, even the small bore ones...

Elow

I played a couple 2bs and they still werent this bright. Some were silver plated and the reset were just lacquered

Elow

I just got a 4h and its probably the brightest horn ive ever played. The whole thing has had the lacquer stripped and has a nice patina. If theres not an easy way to mellow out the sound, i might just pop the dents out and give it a good clean and sell.

If you open an e-mail in a typical reader there should be an option to show either raw message (Yahoo Mail) or full header (many other mails). The full header will show sending IPs and mail servers as well as intermediate mail servers. With Yahoo Mail the IP is right at the top of the raw message. ...

Please could you let me know how to go about doing that? I’d be most grateful. . .

I’ll send you a pm in a couple minutes

If you really want to go crazy, you can get his ip from the email he sent you. Unless he used a vpn, then you should be able to find where he sent that from.

Elow

That’s scary. I talked to him about that duo gravis and was about to buy it but I got a kinda sketchy vibe that he wouldn’t take paypal so i just left him on read. Sorry that happened to you.

My mouthpiece was delivered today, a sunday... Now to wait for a trombone that was supposed to be here monday

Take trades?

I switched over to forscore a couple months ago and it’s been the best thing i’ve ever done. The only annoying part was the first month on scanning everything i own.

He responds to emails, kinda. I sometimes have to resend some, but he gets to them. Also may take a couple hours

Tuning slide probably isn’t original, i think liberty’s had those 3 piece counterweights. The slide grip just looks like brass that probably wore off a bit and someone just buffed the rest off. Bell is a mystery

Elow

Are you able to ship it with anything besides usps?

Elow

I’m planning on getting rid of my 42s in place of something with a thayer. I played an 8H as my first large tenor and i really liked it. I’m pretty sure it had some crazy mods like shires leadpipes and a cut bell. It was my teachers horn that i played that convinced me to upgrade from my 354. Anyway...

Elow

Welp, that’s good to know. The seller was pretty nice and responded fast so i don’t really want to bother them. I’ll give it another week and then i’ll go to the post office, it’s only like 2 minutes away.

Elow

Are you the only owner? Some people plate/color lacquer just the inside of the bell. It looks great though

Elow

It’s really just up to what you want. Ones not better than the other. Kinda like the difference with a king 2b and a 3b. Are you planning on playing it in something or just a horn to have? There’s an olds guru on here that you could probably ask about the slides. Also just get the seller to send a p...

Something seems a bit off... Should i just go up there and try to pick it up because they say it’s been there for 3 days. It’s a mouthpiece from canada

Elow

My bad, yamahas use string still don’t they? Burgerbobs video is good, i’m sure edwards has a video too. Valves aren’t too complicated to take apart, but make sure to take a picture of how the string is. My first french horn reassembly took about an hour of just trial and error on trying to get the ...

Is it the rotor or all the linkages? Try putting some heavy-ish oil on anything that moves and see if it helps. I had the same problem until i some key oil on my Gb lever’s rod where the spring is.

Elow

Wow, clarinet key is such a genius idea. Might try that for my F lever that’s insanely sharp.

Elow

I’m gonna try an experiment with a couple of my friends by adding a counterweight and not telling them why. I should be able to get a couple different people with different horns. I’ll post something about it or just make a whole new thread. I’m really curious about this but i feel i might be biased...

Elow

Looking to update two of my horns from the original clanky system. Anyone have some lying around? Apparently allied is out of stock.

Elow

I have tried a few of their trumpets that are truly exceptional, really amazing horns. Ive tried a lot more that were fine and compared well to the garden variety yamaha 8335 or bach 37. Their pro saxes tend to be really well made and great horns for lots of people. Have not been impressed by their...

Elow

Would adding a counterweight help any?

Elow

If you don't mind me asking what was the reason for wanting the slide being exactly 7/16" longer? Trying to match the length of a bass slide? Before I answer this, keep in mind that “the customer is always correct.” The particular player who requested this slide was playing on a 42 slide with quite...

Elow

I’ve never seen this, about what size is this? It’s up on ebay from one of this super over priced japanese sellers.

Elow

My 71H slide fits on my edwards, at least the threads do. The taper isn’t the same so i have to tighten it a good bit.

Elow

If you part out, i’d like the slide.

It’s probably doable. You would just need to heat it up and let the beads of solder pop up and wipe them. Make sure to wipe the solder away from you or your clothes, i wipe it into a sink. I’ve ruined my favorite pair or yeezys by just wiping it off and it landing on my shoe.

Elow

What’s your opinion on cannonball trombones? I have one of their pro-intermediate horns with me and i really don’t like it. I see a lot of their student models too, and my opinion is still the same. Even their student saxes, which is what their known for, are just not that good compared to a student...

I don’t really think a valve is necessary for a 3B. I would much rather have a straight horn than one with an F attachment. For the rare occasion i have a C playing second part in a big band, i just go to 6th. If i were to have a 3B with a valve i’d probably want it tuned to G or something. Another ...

I would think a cheaper and easier solution would be to add a trigger. Valves on trombone exist for a reason. I can’t even reach seventh position, so this probably would be for a specific market

Elow

That’s all small bore territory so you might be more comfortable on a small bore f attachment. Have you tried an 36? They make a convertible model, or something like a 3bf+ if they make that. You can always have a valve put on your 34, but might want to keep it all original because that’s a cool hor...
