Re: eBaylicons?
These look interesting, not interesting enough to roll the dice on international Ebay deals and international shipping. And the price on the Wessex: really?

Re: eBay (NY): Barcone junior/baby sousaphone
Possibly. I have the Eb cousin to this horn, it is a surprisingly good playing instrument.

Re: Elkhart, IN (FB): cute little Buescher Eb helicon
Cool horn, have a similar one in silver, and am intrigued by the zig zag mouthpiece bit, wondering where such a thing could be found? I use a king bit and have a hard time getting the mouthpiece where I want it.

Re: External microphone for Iphone
I wouldn’t get a lightning connector microphone because iPhones now have usb 2 jacks. I second the recommendations for stand alone zoom recorders. I have a zoom Q8n which does ok video and great audio. These days synchronizing separate audio and video tracks is easy via software.

Re: The ideal do-everything tuba is a d-flat tuba.
My community orchestra played “Fesitval Overture in the National Air” by Dudley Buck, and the tuba part was in D (!) with a note to “write to JW Pepper for a D crook for the helicon”. So apparently this really was once a thing?

Re: King 1240..... detachable bell.... front
I like my 1241 (modded by previous owner with a floating lead pipe and top 3d valve slide), and enjoy having an upright bell for straight gigs and recording bell for jazz. It’s a good enough horn that I’m not highly motivated to spend a lot of money for something better. Realistically, there are eno ...

Re: Elephant Room Walk through video
Had to miss the conference this year, thanks for putting this video out; it’s almost like being there but much safer for the ears and the wallet!

Re: Threading the needle of mouthpieces for an Eb tuba
I have this horn, and like the Laskey 30h for brass band and general band/orchestra use. I bought it used with a Shires 8 (apparently what Eastman used to provide with the horn) which I like for high, chamber or solo use. If I really need a bigger tuba but have to use the 853, a PT88 is the answer.

Re: Branded Gap Filler Valve Oil for Worn or Old Tubas.
Hetman 3 is good (and currently unavailable I think), but I find Yamaha Classic is better on my stable of old horns.

Re: Brown Clodfelter has passed away
Knew Brown through the Charlotte Tuba Euphonium Ensemble, we bonded talking about history. He wanted to come down to see some South Carolina Civil war history sites with me, but we never managed to do so, sadly.

Harbor Freight O ring assortment, about $5 and maybe a free screwdriver too.
