Have fun!

Getting it. I'll post a link in a few minutes.

Yamaha YCB-826S Intonation — Almost, but not quite, point-and-shoot. Bottom line G is dead on. The Cs all line up. In fact, the entire open series is really excellent. Problem 23 combo — Not bad at all, with bottom space Ab and the Eb below the staff tending toward their normal flaws, but being bet...

After three weeks of a nasty case of our global good friend Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and three weeks of slow recuperation, I had to have surgery on my sinuses. This was done on Thursday the 14th and I have been down with all of the recovery mess since. I have another week and a half before I am allowe...

This thing is not cooperating at all. I need to box it up and set it aside for now. I have to prep and sell my Holton and Kurath, so this one, while being worked on, is not being worked on all that much.

Okay, so I finally found this old thread. As with my other two (Holton and King) it is time for a necro-bump. So this tuba also will be up for sale as soon as I finish it. I have to re-do some major work now that I have performed both a solo and a quintet recital on it and better know what I want. F...

Time for a placeholding bump so I can start adding to this thread. I am back on this project.

Yes, I did. I just hope I'm man enough to wield it to good effect.

It is not as *barbarous* as my Holton (or perhaps I have not yet figured out that part) but it is *very* good with excellent intonation, a low range that is just wonderful, and a high range equal to my Adams F.

I just stumbled across this comparison photo of one of Joe's BBb 345 bugles with how Bob Rusk cut mine. This is after some lead-filled rebending, and some major re-tapering to the cut ends to make it line up this well. It was a cast iron "female dog" getting these poorly cut parts to fit t...

WARNING: Necro Thread Resurrection I am putting this tuba up for sale as soon as I have it fully ready. To be honest: I'm not exactly sure what "fully ready" means. I do not know how far I want to take this. I might lacquer it (or at least the bugle) as others do not share my love for the ...

SOLD! Check your PMs, sir!

Wes, I just sent you a message through the Facebook system.

Yes, but the question is, are you now living in the back seat of your car? :) I'm really so happy you were able to make it work. I know it was a huge and sudden challenge. Rick "who faced the same crisis with the first note on the Hirsbrunner HBS-193" Denney Nope, no van life for me. I pa...

FFS don't rip this one apart and rebuild it

I'm going to sand off the silver and cut it to D. I might add a 6th valve. And a beer tap.

I bought it.
