Re: step-up

When you upgrade don't forget you need to charge the iTuba.
If you do not upgrade you still need to wind up the Tuba.

Re: iPad revisited

I like to read of an E book, thats my preference and my preference only. I know I will never ever go back to paper. The ease of having the complete library with me, easy to make notes (and erase them again) and lightness of the reader does it for me. As stated before, I am a amateur. When I play ...

Re: striking the bell

I feel a little sorry for the OP who had no idea what he was getting into by asking that question of the TFFJ! that's for sure, and he is probably thinking that all tuba players are w%&kers so he is not only including hitting it with a drumstick, but also letting the percussion player hit the bell ...

Re: piano hinge experiences - cases

What I'm getting with the separate sheet metal hinges - even though I've tried to be careful with the really big molded case - is wibble-wobble when I close the case, and I have to schmooze the halves back together properly so that the metal tracks line up along the hinge side - in order for the ...

searching for a good lacquer workshop (Europe)

Hello everybody,

Does anybody know a good lacquer workshop in the north of Germany or in The Netherlands?
My F tuba needs to be lacquered (is now raw brass) and I really don't know where to go.

Thanks and greetings

Re: I want to know about my old Amati tuba

The reason cerveny tubas look like miraphones is that at the end of WW2, the Czech craftsmen fled the communist rule of the east, took their tooling with them, and started miraphone in West Germany. At the time the cerveny model was known as the 68. It became the miraphone 86, and changed to the ...

I don't think that the person who has a mega dollar (euro) horn has it to show off, but has fallen for the marketing surrounding that horn (I can sound just as good as the pro players endorsing that horn)

... It's a very military-like attitude that they obviously have about their bands, and it's almost as if (and maybe they actually did in the past...??) the bands own all of the instruments (as a "chest of" viols or recorders - during the Renaissance era), and they are the correct ones and the ...

I am very happy with the 2 tubas ( mira 188 and B&S symphonie) I have. They fit all my playing needs: ensemble, Wind band and orchestra. The only thing that is unreachable for me is Brass band because I don't have a Besson or similar. There is however one kind of tuba I would like to own but is ...
