Fluorescent Orange

Our thoughts are with you!

I was told that the valve section was made in one part of the shop and a serial number was added...the rest of the horn was made in a different part of the factory and a serial number was added... As long as you have two sets of numbers the bell is the most unique part of the horn. The same size ...

Funny, horn players have NO water keys, and seem to delight in emptying slides and spinning their horns to beat the band!

Bluegrass.

I think the writing (picture of eagle holding euphonium with illegible writing around it) is "Trade Mark".
That's what my Distin euphoniums (SN 16034/18266 & 16449/18568) say.

Duh. Choose another profession.

A small hose clamp will be just as effective and cost you 1/100 of the price…

My music degree did not do anything except make me able to join the symphony and have a lesson business, plus free lance. But -- I could have done all that without a degree. I was told, and this was way back, like in 1970, by a fellow who worked at IBM that I could get a job there as a programmer ...

Just make sure nothing's plated!

I'm not sure, but the answer was 42.

Only if the congregation thinks you are implying that the person giving the sermon is a blowhard...

at Longwood Gardens on their latest tour. 31 years & STILL KILLER! Great Prokofiev Romeo & Juliet and Gershwin Summertime into Vivaldi Seasons. Herr Brandstötter was his usual monster self and carried the group. If you have to sell your firstborn ITS STILL CHEAP! What pros! :bow2: :clap:

It is the adjustable "stop" limiter for limit one's downward slide.
Most trombones don't come with one either.

The outer slides were cylindrical, only the inners were conical.
And after Lyon &Healy bought Couturier they went to dual-bore valve slides as a cost savings.

It's the euphonium version of a bass trombone-
Bigger, shorter (in "C") and with extra valves on it to play lower!

That explains what must've happened to those missing Boeing bolts!
