Re: How not to use a lathe - or how to loose an arm
I think the angle of the video and the 2 x speed is contributing to the "dangerous" impression. Dan actually has a lot of space between him and bell Most of us in germany who make or repair bells would do the same. And lastly, I've worked with Dan in the past and I can say he is extremely safety ...

Re: FB (MI): "Karl King" (?) rotary BBb
The tuba is an Amati 4/4 BBb stencil. I believe Sum did make or at least assemble their own tubas many decades previously, but by the 70s it was just stencils. I contacted the seller and it was a typo, actually Karl Sum. The engraving reads Karl Sum, Instrumenten Bau., Kirnbach/Wolfach. I am ...

Re: The History of the Tuba Podcast Episode 7, The Patent of 1835
The patent is located at the Geheimes Staatsarchiv, Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Rep. 120, Ministerium
für Handel und Gewerbe. The storage area itself is outside of Berlin but is easy to reach. I'm hoping to make a trip there later this year to do a hi-res scan and will be sure to share.

Re: Q for Alex owners: super large shank mouthpieces
Hallo Arpthark, If you would prefer not to modify the receiver, I would recommend one of the Bruno Tilz, Walter Hilgers series of mouthpieces, most likely a WH-B1 or the not for the faint of heart WH-B2. The newer B3 and B4 I haven't tried yet and have no experience with. These series of mouthpieces ...

Re: Play in rotary valve double hinge mechanism
Hi Gocsick, unless the hinge pins are completely toast, usually one can swedge them with this type of pliers to remove excess play. https://www.ferreestoolsinc.com/products/swegding-pliers Technically when you replace this type of old linkage, one would completely discard the rivets and T-joints ...
