I have a CC and an F at my store. The F plays well enough. Intonation in the high range is terrible but from my point of view if you just want something small that will fit in your car seat so that you can noodle around a bit when youre bored its fine. The CC is terrible. We did have a silver CC at ...

As long as we're posting cheap chinese Fs, thomann has what looks like a yfb 621 copy for 2500 if youre willing to take one for the team. People have said good things about the clones of this horn but not much about this particular distributor.

I'm experimenting a bit right now. I played on a PT-50 for years, but recently wanted something a bit smaller just because i was playing more solo style stuff. I swapped to a Laskey 28H, and shortly after that i got access to an F tuba that really diminished the need for solo stuff on my contrabass ...

I would sure love to get my hands on it just to see how good or bad it is but I would never buy a horn blind with no info other than "some flavor of Chinese knockoff" Those newer 2341s are the only BBb tubas I really like playing these days too, but 3500 considering what else I can find in that ...

Really big tubas feel wrong and impossible if you've never played them, but feel right after sticking with them for two or three weeks. Moving back to really small tubas can feel just as wrong, but it's easier to adjust because you've done it before. I've experienced both of these. I've been ...

Need to try and get chances to play on more of these. I would hate for stuff this size to actually become the standard but ill need to be familiar ...

I'm pretty sure that this was done in my store, the other tuba player from your brass band was teaching me a bit about E-flat tubas when he came to pick it up. Absolutely beautiful horn.

yeah even before i was accepted i got a chance to meet my university's professor and spent some time playing with him. i hope it works out for you and you get some valuable advice. out of curiosity, you say youre remote and relatively self taught. would this be your first time meeting with a really ...

isnt this just transposing?

Currently wrestling with several school districts in my area that keep asking for invoices to be billed in different ways. You would think that would be the easy part but for whatever reason it gets much harder to do once the agreed upon services have been rendered...

Our principal trumpet lady is a doesn't-miss player...The young man playing second is as well, and is headed off to IU, next fall. Our second trumpet just got accepted to IU as well. I bought my first tuba last monday, and was offered my first gig in the last decade on tuesday, which i took as a ...
