Now add F and Gb valves.

I have heard that Eli Newberger has passed away. I read an article about it on Facebook but am now unable to locate it.

Finishing fitting the bearings to the rotors on these is drudgery. :smilie6: Sure: They can put some goop on the spindles that might last a week or a month, but - after that - they're going to sound like the four (of the five) of these, because of the vertical play that they leave in them. I guess ...

Giant Steps

I have one that is about 10 years old. It is a really nice instrument.

Although not a musician, my uncle has been suffering from it for about a decade now. He was diagnosed in his mid sixties and now resides in a care facility. The last time I visited him, I got him his favorite coffee. He couldn't lift the cup on his own. He has trouble speaking and needs constant ...

Thanks @the elephant

Someone had posted all of the tubing lengths for each valve for each key of tuba a while back. I can't seem to find it. Would someone be able to send me a link to that or post it here? Thanks

Just bought Finale about a year ago to get back into using it.

We got your joke. We liked your joke. In fact, one might say that "Yuh done right good, bwah." He will need to be fed once a day. He prefers Brute Supplement #25. And he will require water. And you must provide him with a sandbox. And you must talk to him. Tell him he is a pretty brute… and a good b ...

Just because I feel the need to derail the topic a bit, thanks for posting the video, Mark. I do enjoy Stas' playing.

I was studying with Floyd when he did the Schumann recording. Good stuff.

There are a couple on eBay right now, but I'd describe them as "only slightly chewed up" condition. I just saw those. I’d be tempted, if they didn’t look like marching band playthings. :facepalm2: I do have a Conn 2. There are some surface scratches on the rim and the very end of the shank is not ro ...

Bumpity bump! I’m still searching for a Conn 2 tuba mouthpiece in comfortable+ condition. Let me know if you have one or know of one for sale. Thanks! I used to have two of them. I think they are way in the back of my basement storage area. I think one was in good shape and the other was not. I'll t ...

It’s because they never jumped on the free sammich trend. Customer service is everything.

We see a bunch of this sort of thing posted here. I'm NOT lecturing anyone...I'm not to that point (yet?), and I can't yet properly empathize...so (yup) SOME of these suggestions would well be off-base/misguided/ignorance-based . If four of five pounds of difference actually would make a difference ...
