Re: Rare Tuba Mouthpieces
I have two mouthpieces stamped Fred Geib 318 This is per my memory as they're not next to me at the moment. I've never seen a third or heard anyone talk about having one either. They are nicer to play and prettier sounding than the Conn Geib, so I was willing to sell the Conn to Bort. 😁 I had a set ...

Re: (FIVE rotary) Meinl-Weston 195 and Miraphone 497
… ============================ 196 "Fasolt" - claims to (simply) be a larger bell pancake version of 195, but mouthpipe shape is not the same as 195. ============================ …. I thought the Fasolt was Fafner body + big side of bottom bow scaled up + a 2165 bell. I’m no expert.

Re: We continue to bring up theft, the likelihood of theft, and airtags - in various threads...
The leather guard with a pocket on the inside seems like a bit more workable idea.
Though I really do like the idea of it being inside the tuba.

I like the idea of having the airtag inside the tuba.
Would adhesive velcro strips not be just as effective as superglue and less caustic? It'd be easier to remove for battery replacement also.

Re: nerd survey
Our letter jackets were the same as the athletic jackets. Mine had some patches on it. No idea where it went, but it's gone. I doubt I ever had a picture taken with it while on my person. I don't think I have any of my high school yearbooks, either.

Re: Holton 345 Valves VS Mienl Weston Valves
I’m replacing the entire valve section on my holton. On the holton the 4th valve bore is 0.830” but the port exiting the valve is 0.750, which I believe leads to some response issues. Neither are for sale for the time being. .... Is the 4th valve on the MW set not larger than the other three? would...

Re: mouthpiece rim material
I had two. one clear and one black. both #2 33.2 mm. I now have just the black one. The clear Lexan was kinda ugly and less smooth than the black. I could see the threads through it. I like having a Lexan rim. It's lighter. It's nicer to play when it is cold. I do wish I could have some #2 32.9 mm v...

Re: 497-B Miraphone
Ok Considering that Miraphone is only an eight hour drive from where I live, I think I’ll try making an appointment with them. And I’ll let them vent the 5th valve as well.

Re: Geib mouthpiece on a Martin Eb?
off on a tangent as usual; what is a "Geib style mouthpiece" that makes it "Geib?" What's different about it? An extra response, which I hope is of additional help. The Geib model has the same inside diameter as the Helleberg SH-II with a modified rim contour. The Geib cup is mo...
