That seems like a "Too good to me true" situation...

House.

WITH the Sousa?

Treble clef books have been discontinued?

The smaller books have apparently been discontinued.

Dave Butler (of carbon fiber trombone renown) is now making carbon fiber sousa bells. Much thinner than fiberglass, so doesn't get that 'dead' sound, and several pounds lighter than a brass bell. https://butlertrombones.com/sousa/ ...and about USD$2k/ea I believe.... Not gonna lie, I'd love to have ...

TC HQ seems to have discontinued the small-format Treble Clef (yellow) books at this point. They are not available to order, and I think someone stated that there wasn't enough demand to print them. Not sure if Bass Clef will see the same thing happen or not. It appears that they did a re-print this ...

TC ToC.png From the latest batch of books, fresh from Bloomington. (Note that in addition to the Green book, there's also the yellow treble-clef book. There was also apparently another version designed for british brass band types (Eb?) but it's not currently on the site to purchase it seems. I don ...

Inbound... (Edit: I only have Part II. Nihonbashi - "Bridge Market" of this. )

Changing the topic to sort of an old topic (where trolling became involved), for those of you who have facebook, here's either a reel or an ad about a lyre holder that is designed to hold your phone. (I would assume there's sheet music on the phone.) I don't see this (suction-cupping a $300 to ...

Back for our 3rd year! Performance is 1-2pm, Saturday December 7th at the Westminster (MD) public library. (Outdoor, dress warmly) Rehearsal is 10:45 INDOORS across the street at the Boys and Girls Club gym. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/ocSqg6AU2cphuWqnfdBzsOME9yaJ-M4xVZoE3MK8SRmNtYrsOSFY ...

I could care less about making $ off of it, to be honest, but if it can help someone out I figure it's worth a little time out in the garage messing with power tools. If I don't attach value to it, then hopefully whomever wants the stuff won't feel the need to argue about what they end up with. Of ...

Edit: gone

Looks like it's gone.

Took this one out yesterday to finally see what we bought. It plays - all the rotors move fine, linkage is noisy as anything though. Plenty of dents in the main branches, nothing horrible though. Few braces separated/missing. I think the bell has been buffed enough times that none of the factory ...

Hi Tyler do you have a forward facing bell that you wanna part with or know of anyone that might ? Cheers Paul When I was in Baltimore Brass yesterday I noticed they have a nice King forward facing bell out in the showroom - $300 as I recall. Might be worth reaching out to them to see if they can ...

About $300 I think.

My wife won the auction on this one... We'll see what shape it is when we actually take possession of it. Maybe a player, maybe it ends up next to the 20J with no valves...

@travisd How's the tactile response on the Flic button? With the Flic button being designed for a finger-press, it'd be nice to have a click feedback so that you know you've pressed it fully and have it be precise enough that you don't have to worry about feathering it too lightly. Flic buttons are ...

What button did you find? That was my first thought, since I would not need to worry about my foot slipping off a pedal, but didn't find anything. [...] Oh, and I'd ideally want a switch that (like a trigger) has two positions, so that backing up is possible in case of an "oops!" as well I'm using ...

I got back into playing a few years ago (community band stuff, after years of basically just tubaxmas/homecoming type playing). I switched to a tablet because I had one, and it seemed like a good idea., What I found is that it has enabled me to be MUCH better than I ever was about marking up my ...
