I’ve never played an 822 F but I sure would like to. ie not a totally off topic post

Someone in the family is REALLY into disc golf.

Hey now! The “DETAIL CANNOT BE FAULTED, EVEN BY PROFESSIONALS!”

I rode the City of New Orleans between NOLA and Chicago once. It was great and the $79 fare was cheaper than driving vehicle I had at that time. Pretty sure it stops in Yazoo…. Just gotta get another train from New England to Chicago. If there were plans to visit my mom in Grenada anytime soon I’d fo ...

I had a real problem with slide #2 gathering water for a while in mine. Depressing all the valves and leaning it back about 45° where the mouthpiece leaning towards me gets rid of all the #2 water and a lot of the other build up that gurgles in mine. The only other gurgle I’ve had was in #4 and the o ...

I built a roughly 6ft x 7ft bookshelf with iron pipe a few years ago. Need to put some supports on the bottoms of the shelves to eliminate sage but it works and looks nice enough. The lower cross brace you put on your desk look great (and the rest too, but I particularly like that detail). Also ...

I think they make some of that expanding foam you spray in that is supposedly “mouse proof”. Colleagues have started using RoBan Barrier Pest Control Paste as of late and are super happy with it. Applies through a caulk gun. My understanding is it’s a combination of steel-wool shavings, bad smell ...

If I was anywhere near that I’d jump on it. $250 is cheap for unmitigated joy, especially with a guarantee.

The family said it was fantastic.

Thanks so much!

Hi all, I’m looking to get a bag for my Eastman 632. I’ve found a new already made bag that’s labeled as being for a 534. My understanding is that both of these horns have 19.75 inch bells and are 34 inches tall and I’m making an assumption that the 632 a should fit in the 534 bag pretty much perfect ...

bloke , I’ve tried a few times over the past several months to get a picture out of the living room window with the Symphony piece in the foreground, showing the embossed bugling elk; and with a real bugling elk (this one is called “24” based on the ear tag put on him by my colleagues in wildlife he ...

I was watching horns on shopgoodwill.com for my stepson on and off recently. He wanted a double so I haven’t bid on any singles but there are a lot of decent enough looking singles in the $20-50 range.

The Gardiner Mt Community Orchestra played a Christmas in August set at the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone NP today.

The full group for this summer.

Get a glass jar and put a piece of tinfoil in it. Place the mouthpiece in the jar, touching the tinfoil. Pour a tablespoon of baking soda and a dash of salt over the mouthpiece. Pour hot water (close to boiling) over the top. There’ll be an electrochemical reaction that pulls the sulfide out of the s ...

Never has happened to me before but I rarely use PB indoors (or if I do I’m in a pretty massive shop space with big fans). I suspect you have a certain level of sensitivity to some chemical ending in -xylene that’s causing your issue, possibly built up over many years, and that increasing the ven ...

I picked up an PowerBreathe (the red manual one, not the fancy computerized ones) about 6 months ago after reading about the benefits of high-resistance inspiratory muscle strength training for reducing blood pressure (see: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8652071/ among many others). It ...

There’s one on Reverb. https://reverb.com/item/76737679-conn-s ... aphone-22k

Hopefully the bison in the yard will enjoy the serenade from the porch. You can keep Yogi and Boo-boo. Last time they showed up at the house they surprised me and I nearly pooped myself.

I believe the US legislature should pass a law that - with any Conn tubas - the letter "J" be removed from the model number (as it is understood), as the extra effort to involved in saying/typing/uploading the "J" adds carbon to the atmosphere and contributes to all of this devastating climate ...
