Spates is fine. The only reason I ended up liking it was because we were half in the hallway - great for sales. But I thought it was a bit too cramped... Though, this year was a wee bit cramped too.
I am seriously considering attending if at all possible. However, I am quite the babe in the woods about the arrangements. The last time I went was decades ago and I only went for the day. This time I would want to stay for the whole thing. So I have tons of questions. 1. Do you have to pre ...
I currently play in the Baltimore Gamer Symphony Orchestra (on bass bone). These performances are a lot of fun, especially if you already play video games. May be playing a bit of tuba next season, maybe a bit of tenor. We'll see. Either way, they're a great way to get chops up too. Sometimes video ...
We're posting the pictures today! Summer time is always a busy time, and we're finally getting out of our repair season, so pictures for everything are coming! There's only a few of us, so sometimes it takes a bit longer. Thanks for your patience!
Hey all! Us at Baltimore Brass Company are looking to snag some used tuba mouthpieces - we've currently got five on our used shelf. If you're looking to offload some mouthpieces, let us know! Our criteria to meet is pretty much just no major dents and definitely no cuts / chips / scratches on the ...
It could be the angle of the photograph or just my terrible eyesight but it looks like a 184 or a 185 to me. Regardless, seems like a Very good price. Best, Ed Went and picked it up... 185. First valve was a bit rough. Pics also didn't show off all of the dents. Played great though! Good thing I ...

:tuba: I'll do y'all one better... Give you an answer from the horses mouth (bell?) Just picked it up off the wall... It's a very small receiver. Too small to properly fit a LS trombone mouthpiece even. But too large for a euro trombone mouthpiece... It's... Uh... It's interesting. It plays, but it ...
Chris from Baltimore Brass here. I appreciate the warm welcome that BBCo gets every year. This is my second year working the tuba show, and I felt very good about all of it! I learned a bit, put some faces to names (even though I didn’t get to say hi to everyone), saw some old friends and made some n ...
Please, for the love of all that is brass related, don’t take brass repair instruction from YouTube videos. I have something sitting in front of me that will cost in parts alone (which I’m not even sure are available) so much more than it would have if the owner’s internet had been down for the last ...
Spates Hall is apparently larger than the old building. It wasn't bad for the trombone show last year. Just a bit further away from the new hall... We just need to plan our walks a bit differently!
He hired a new manager a while back who had really turned the business around. I suspect that made it worth buying. Dave has wanted to retire for a while, and I wish him the best. He’ll always be a good friend. Now, who are the new owners? Rick “names!” Denney Thanks Rick! I'm Chris, that new manag ...
Thanks for stopping by and for the feedback! We appreciate your time - we know it's limited when on travel. Let us know next time you're coming in if we're short on time and we can put some things to the side for you! That includes a mouthpiece to test as well.
