Thanks, Arpthark, happy times, when parents educated their youngsters to accept instructions like that

The advertisement on Kleinanzeigen Germany comes from Ulrich Haas, a tuba professional (a.o. member of the Melton/Meinl Weston Tuba Quartet). In short it says: Very young copy of HB388/Adams F tuba, silverplated, as new. Very good and easy intonation, perfect sound for solo work, with bigger ...

Thanks, Arpthark and BRS, for your "interpretation" and complements.. Sorry for the lack of clarity in my message. If someone is interested, I have a WORKING email-address of a sales person at Tianjin Frater Instruments, the distributor of the Yamaha and Hirsbrunner/Adams copies. Please, send PM ...

Yesterday I have seen a recent copy of the Hirsbrunner 388/Adams piston F-tuba. Looks like a fine instrument. Very well made. Owner was positive about it. From the same producer as the Yamaha 621 F-tuba, that was discussed here earlier (Tianjin Jessy Musical Instruments). At the moment there is one ...

FYI: There are 2 Rotts offered on Wallapop Spain(es.wallapop.com).

Today I have seen a looking-alike "almost- copy" of the B&S MRP (PT10?) offered by the renowned shop of tubaspecialist Matthias Vogt at Leipzig in Germany. He is calling it a "Kingler Berger AW-755 F-Tuba". And price is Euro 4990, whereas the price of Erwin Schmid in Neubrunn (Germany as well) is ...

No, not vociferous. Sound stays "healthy" and does not break up easily in that register.
Addition: I use a Windhager (WHF) mouthpiece (rim JW6, cup C/F6 and shaft E6 = = = inner diameter 32,0 mm, bowl shaped deep cup (44,5 mm), bore 8,4 mm, concave backbore).

To Arpthark's question dated January 6th, 2023: I have bought a similar looking FF tuba from Erwin Schmid Musikhaus at Neubrunn, Germany. It is a perfect look-alike of the Schiller Elite FF piston tuba. I think it is not a 100% copy of the B&S MRP, but at least a very good imitation (an "almost ...

Apparently the way to heaven is a small one......

The work was done by Araik Rubinyan. He is originally from Armenia, but is working already for years in Germany. He is a fine craftsman, who a.o. was employed for several years by Miraphone. Nowadays he is at Musikhaus Mollenhauer in Fulda (Germany). He combines this trade with working as a free ...

Hello Bram,
Where did I see this tuba before???
I am very glad you are happy with it. Wish you all the best with practice of transpositions.
Au revoir,
Hubert

Now that I am 76, I recently have "downsized" my stable to 1 tuba, which is a MW 3450 CC: compact size, enough "output" for wind orchestra, flexible enough for quintet (the outstanding flexibility of the 3450 rivals that of a big F-tuba). So, I do not regret, makes life easier.... Hubert

Heard, that production recently has been moved to the Amati/Cerveny premises at Kraslice (Cz), because of war in Ukraine.
Curious, whether this will result in improvements of quality (like more consistency)....
Hubert

There is a perfect 3450 for sale .....in Germany. Interested? PM, please.

IMPROVEMENT Today I hade made a very thin walled, conic sleeve, 6 cm in length, with a small rim at the larger end. I have inserted that about 5 cm into the receiver. That is far enough to go some way into the leadpipe itself (not only into the receiver). And yes, in line with Bloke's earlier ...

Thanks a lot, Bloke. Seems to confirm my findings. By the way...the adapter I use, is very thin-walled at the end. Perhaps part of the improvement, as well...?? Yes, a new leadpipe probably would be ideal. But for now I am happy enough with the result of applying the adapter to let a (rather ...

Since a few years happy with my MW 3450 CC: nice sound of a contrabasstuba, great flexibility (approaches that of the bigger F-tubas). But, from the beginning I had my doubts about the width of the leadpipe. My mouthpiece (standard European shank) fell in rather deep, and the high register (from c1 ...
