Re: Hirsbrunner euphonium 378

Bump for an excellent euphonium.

I had the opportunity to hear this instrument played extensively by both of its owners for several years, and to play on it a little. To my taste, it has an excellent clear sound, and plays very well. If I could see any future opportunity to play euph, I would be ...

Re: WTB/WTT: Conn 40k, 38k, or other 4 valve American sousa

I have a lacquer 4-valve Martin in very good condition on consignment at Dillon Music right now.

It might not be on the webpage yet, but Matt can tell you all about it.

Re: Take Your Tomorrow

For anyone seeking to increase their daily/monthly intake of bass sax content while waiting for Bloke to get his running, there are several compilations of Adrian Rollini out there. But for high density doses of bass sax, check out the Uptown Lowdown Jazz Band recordings, such as Apostles of Sax ...

Re: 10J out there?

Thanks for the suggestions! I am checking in on the one in Albany.

Just for community information, the one on eBay is a frankenhorn, given that it has a detachable bell, and non-original bell stack taper. I previously had another horn from that seller go through my hands (many years ago) that was ...

10J out there?

Anyone have a Conn 10J in good cosmetic and mechanical condition, that they would like to sell?

I played one for a few months many (many) years ago, and have fond memories of playing it, and would like to revisit that.

I’m in Columbus OH.

Thanks!

The 661 sold a few weeks, but I have been tardy in posting, due to my move. Thanks for the interest!

Re: Yamaha 661 CC tuba for Sale

A few inquiries, but it's still here. If it does not sell first, the horn will relocate to Columbus OH in early June.

Gone -- H N White 3v Eb helicon body and Tuba Stand

From a quick look, the body is missing the the upper leadpipe and neck; and valve buttons. All three valves appear to be present, though the 3rd stem is broken off. It's really tarnished and dusty, but I post it here just in case someone wants a project.

Also available is a fairly heavy tuba stand ...

Re: Conn 2J For Sale (Corrected)

Thanks for noting the error Pakins51, and the listing has been corrected. It is a 2J.

Will referred to the tuba as a 3J from the time he first got it, maybe 15 years ago. That was so ingrained, that I didn't think to question that designation at this point.

Miraphone 1281 Petruschka for Sale SOLD

This horn, I am selling for myself.

The horn was bought new in February 2020, immediately before the Covid shutdown, for use in a group I was playing with--great timing, huh? So it does not have a lot of mileage on it. These horns generally play well, though I do prefer this instrument over the ...

Conn 2J For Sale (Corrected)

This is the second of two tubas I am selling for the family of a good friend who recently passed.

The 2J is pretty well known and desired as a compact horn that is easy to play. This one is in good condition, though some dents in the bottom bow have been removed at some point (detectable more ...

Yamaha 661 CC tuba for Sale

This is one of two tubas owned by a close friend who recently passed, and that I am selling for his family.

The 661 is now somewhat rare, but was highly thought of when they came out in 1984 (to '93). The are, to me, a Yamaha piggy, with an .812 bore and 16.5 inch bell. This one was purchased from ...

Re: WTB: B&S 5th slide extension

The fifth valve slide assembly on the PT6/MRP is a .750 bore. Since it is the top valve in the rotor stack, it would be odd if it were otherwise. The larger bore valve is the 4th valve.

The one you have, York-aholic, however, appears to be a 5th valve assembly for either a different generation, or ...
