Re: Gig Bag Fitment
You could build a “shoe tree” kinda deal that stretches the case while not in use to “form” the case. Just needs to match the dimensions close enough. Reminds me of putting softballs in my baseball gloves… . . . and then tuck it under your mattress and sleep on it. :smilie8: (thanks for the sweet wa ...

Re: playing and hearing aids
I can hear my watch ticking in my right ear, but not my left. Wow, I immediately confirmed that I can still hear the tick in both ears *whew*. But I used to hear it ticking from the night stand and now I've got to hold the watch close . . . occurred to me . . . how many folks even own analog ...

Re: Marching baritone models - least worst?
The best ever was USA-made BLESSING with the GERMAN valveset. @tokuno, there is one of these listed on FB marketplace on Long Island for $550. Not sure where you are located, and that's a bit of a drive for me unless I took the round trip ferry. But if you're interested, you might be able to work ...

Marching baritone models - least worst?
. . . Marching baritones *resigned sigh* . . . My Bach/Yamaha marching baritone, while not a great-player, is sufficient to the needs of the "mostly gray-hair, primarily beer-drinking, but some marching and lots of rock charts playing" pep band that my wife & I have popped into and out of for many ...

Re: footrest
I have an aversion to accessories and toting them (which is one of the reasons why the only "Away From Home" music stand that I will ever own is a K&M 101) so that aversion works against me using something like this. Yo, Joe, thinking outside the (check-)box for an "elegant" solution to the problem ...

Re: Manhasset Stand Review
This is the way of things now. Everything is being "flimsy-fied" in one way or another. The deadly sin I see in action is Greed. I put on a pair of corduroy slacks I've had for probably 20 years. The corduroy in them is at least three times as thick as the "corduroy" in new slacks I can buy now ...

Re: Manhasset Stand Review
Tusky, that’s a portable? Are they making the decks out of steel now? All of mine (portable and non) have aluminum decks, and I wouldn’t mind a ferrous deck. . . I have never seen an aluminum Manhasset Symphony or Orchestra model stand. They have been stamped steel since Moses was knee-high to a cat ...

Re: Insurance on your tuba(s)?
Clarion for our kids' horns. We haven't had to call it in, so apologies; cannot attest to policy fulfillment. There's innumerable attestations online to their service level, and it provides us good value: peace of mind at a low cost for horns exposed to the rigors associated to high school. My ...

Re: Relative worth of high price horns
All good...! I agree that pros do maybe switch main horns more than they used to. I think maybe players in general do? My wife plays cello and she and her string-colleagues do not, as a rule, change instruments, but her cello is worth way more than my combined instruments... 😀 :thumbsup: Seems like ...

Re: Short play test of Eastman and Jupiter BBb/CC tubas
That's six. Wouldn't three be 1 one-ba and 1 two-ba?

Seriously, thanks for the writeup. My son-in-law has a meager budget and no tuba . . . I've heard good things of the Eastmans and will forward this along to him.

Re: trumpet
What I've seen of female bullying is social rejection. Male bullying tends to be physical rejection. Indeed, Mary Ann, and in my opinion very lasting and hurtful. (Real) example from out of the blue one day: "We don't want you eating lunch with us any more" Numerous other examples, too.

Re: trumpet
We have two daughters. I thought adolescence was hard for us boys, but had no idea what the girls go through until my daughters did; it's fraught. Sounds like her folks (with great extended family support) have her on a really good track. Well done, gramps. (My youngest is a trumpeter - music has ...

Mine's an H2, and it works well, too. When I need a video synch, I post-process and swap in the Zoom recording.

Re: Erie, PA TubaChristmas musings
Thank you! I was using the Kjos. I like them because the arrangements are versatile and can be sight read. It's handy when you don't know who will show up! :tuba: I like SA music but the treble trips me up. :red: I think you could make them work: The SA supports 3,4, and 5 in C Bass, and the Eb sax ...

oops, double post, sorry That's fun! What arrangements are you using? :thumbsup: Nowadays we lean heavily on the Salvation Army's Carolers' Favorites book . 133 carols in 5-part mix-n-match instrumentation. They're somewhat usable as a duet but better with three or more players, and include modern ...

Diversity comes in other forms though: * Good mix of male/female (and sure, I guess other categories too). Our conductor was an older woman * Wide range of ages * A person with low vision with a white cane (who I actually knew from somewhere else years ago) * A person with (I think?) a cognitive ...
