Re: King 2280 euphonium compared to Yamaha 321 euphonium

4. You want a large receiver? Put the Yamaha marching euph on it and use a bigger mp (lots of LA pros do that) - very cheap upgrade Interesting, on the old forum I read a few threads where people used the King receiver for this upgrade, î just ordered a king receiver from my repair guy but if the ...

Re: conn 20j leadpipe availabilty

The generic Wisconsin tube that comes the closest only makes it up to a 19mm bore. It would be nice if they were to make a similar one that makes it up to a 19.5mm bore (ie. the approximate 20J bore size). (ok...They do make one, but it's way too long to use on a 20J.) Would you happen to have a ...

I need to get back to it, but mine is more in the form of a complete bass trombone bell section, a bass trombone playing that isn't even the same make yet I'm did things to make it bolt to the bell section, and an alternative to the playing slide which is a four piston and two rotor rig which is ...

Bell replacement for Olds o99 tuba

I have an Olds 3 valve tuba where the bell flare has vertical tears. Is there any replacement bell available? I have a Yamaha 105 parts horn with a bell in good condition, however when I last measured the Yamaha has a smaller diameter at the ferrule. Will update with photos later this week.
