Re: What did you play today?


I've got some "Jedi"...blah-blah band (not arrangement, but) original-keys transcription of some movie music (that's probably the note-y-ist piece in the folder...lots of runs of notes with double flags, etc...), along with some other John Williams transcriptions, a set of J.P. Sousa pieces (four ...

People pay way too much for my mouthpieces overseas. It's time for someone to call their rulers on this and to get them to stop surcharging my products while our government has allowed their products to flow freely into our country. I'd like for people overseas to only have to pay the fairly ...

Re: What did you play today?

A rehearsal of the Gloria by Jenkins.
I can't see why people find this music good. I don't like it. I don't like the composer Jenkins. I don't like his other music (played the armed man)
I do like the orchestra (very much, last season they played Mahler 1 and Bruckner 7) so I will help them out ...

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 ...

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
