Thanks so much!

Hi all, I’m looking to get a bag for my Eastman 632. I’ve found a new already made bag that’s labeled as being for a 534. My understanding is that both of these horns have 19.75 inch bells and are 34 inches tall and I’m making an assumption that the 632 a should fit in the 534 bag pretty much perfect ...

bloke , I’ve tried a few times over the past several months to get a picture out of the living room window with the Symphony piece in the foreground, showing the embossed bugling elk; and with a real bugling elk (this one is called “24” based on the ear tag put on him by my colleagues in wildlife he ...

I was watching horns on shopgoodwill.com for my stepson on and off recently. He wanted a double so I haven’t bid on any singles but there are a lot of decent enough looking singles in the $20-50 range.

Get a glass jar and put a piece of tinfoil in it. Place the mouthpiece in the jar, touching the tinfoil. Pour a tablespoon of baking soda and a dash of salt over the mouthpiece.

Never has happened to me before but I rarely use PB indoors (or if I do I’m in a pretty massive shop space with big fans). I suspect you have a certain level of sensitivity to some chemical ending in -xylene that’s causing your issue, possibly built up over many years, and that increasing the ven ...

Hopefully the bison in the yard will enjoy the serenade from the porch. You can keep Yogi and Boo-boo. Last time they showed up at the house they surprised me and I nearly pooped myself.

I believe the US legislature should pass a law that - with any Conn tubas - the letter "J" be removed from the model number (as it is understood), as the extra effort to involved in saying/typing/uploading the "J" adds carbon to the atmosphere and contributes to all of this devastating climate ...

I purchased a mouthpiece from Melody back in January. Slightly slow to ship but in great condition (better than advertised), packed very well, and included a surprise mouthpiece case/pouch. I wouldn’t hesitate to do business with her again.

Has the number 80 (or 08?) written on it, and looks more like blue painters tape to me. If I had to venture a guess, a lot number from an estate sale or auction.

I'm close enough to work that I could walk.... :red: But I don't even do that when the weather is good! :smilie2: One great thing about working in a Park is that my quarters are a 2 minute walk from the office. Especially on a paid Federal holiday! :tuba: Even on a paid day off a lot of us are out ...
