pull the slide until it's 20 cents flatter than it is right now, and you'll have your answer.

Get a protec platinum bag.

I make sure my students understand the difference between warming up and Exercising, and the purpose for both.

Oops, I got this conversation confused with one on Facebook where someone was asking specifically where to test play E flat tubas. Never mind and carry on

Very true! Forgot about them

They have at least 2 Ebs I like, the tubby and the new front action 3+1. (forgot the name of it)

I looked one of those in very good condition for a while to add a fifth valve to and eventually just made that modification on my king. The king intonation is pretty much point and shoot and the stories I had heard about the Wilson, mostly from Joe, kind of scared me off of one

Just be aware if you come to texas, the only E flat tubas you may be able to try are the packer, the eastman, the miraphone Norwegian Star and maybe the St Petersburg. That's the usual offering I would hate for you to travel all that way and be disappointed in the selection

oh yeah, 100%

I was just saying that miraphone doesn't do a booth at the DC conference, Dillon does. Miraphone also doesn't sell their display models

The miraphone show inventory for TMEA is exclusive to the conventions, and is different than the stock at Dillon. In fact, the Norwegian star they show at TMEA was the very first one imported to the US, and basically still in prototype, because it was shipped without engraving. I tried to talk ...

wait... boston to Philly?

TRAIN! Buy a seat for the tuba, but you might be able to bring it on in a gig bag just like luggage. It's a nice ride and it's about as close to high speed rail that we have in this country.

I’ve seen but neither held or heard a three valve compensating Eb that’s had a fourth valve added. This guy in the UK does it, but it ain’t cheap. https://www.m-j-c.co.uk/page-8/ that's a 4 valve compensating Tuba that has had the piston 4th valve replaced with a rotor 4th valve. I think that conve ...

There's some close up shots of it in this video near the 4 minute mark

I have two euphoniums currently. a 5 valve non compensating king I built myself, and a 3 valve compensating besson. I like them both for different reasons. If I had to change anything about the king, I would add an inch to the bell diameter If I had to change anything to the besson or any 3v ...

Full movie including the tuba solos

I've done it before with the movie home alone with an orchestra. It's fun. I'd love to do Muppet Christmas Carol at some point. Great tuba parts

377 for sure from that list

He can't respond to a PM yet, but you coujd send him contact information that he can respond to

I use the light springs with my York Eb

I use a 69c4 on my Flat. Spent a long time going back and forth between that and the bloke solo, but for now I use the schilke

Congrats to buyer and seller. I have to say that when you bought the adams, I wondered how you were going to deal with breaking away from the Kurath that you put so much time and effort into. It's not like you put lipstick on a pig, the Kuraths were great tubas
