Checks are returned upon arrival to the audition. A process put in place decades ago to discourage no shows. No idea if it really works or not

Re: Every once in a while, it's just nice to do some maintenance stuff to my OWN instrument (even though $0.00)

I do not know whether Gene or Jake recorded this, and I certainly don't know who was brought in to play second. If you like, I can email Gene and ask. I could also send you the score, if you would agree to delete it after reviewing the recording. :smilie8: https://youtu.be/6A1XSpzjREc The discograp...

There's one in the PX, about a 5 min walk from Spates. At least that's what Google Maps says

Re: U.S. Army Band Tuba-Euphonium Workshop Location Change

We ran into the problem of using the exchange several years ago. They needed military ID, if I recall, before we could buy anything. The bowling alley is about the only game in town for civilians. Or, has that changed? We'll make it work. :wall: scottw Civilians should be able to eat at Subway and ...

Re: New M/W silver 2182 F-$11,475

You are correct. I have a price sheet direct from Buffet about 1 month ago. The 2182W lists for $9,750 with a gig bag. 2023 or 2024? I have one labeled 2024 with a slightly higher price of $10,050. Still much lower that the OP's asking price. Now the Tuono from the same seller is priced right I thi...

It's not like anyone is checking badges at these things. If you want to go try horns, just go. If you want to check out the evening concert, just go. Sure if someone makes a stink about it you'd be "wrong", but the conference host will be too busy running around to notice who played that E...

Re: York Tuba, sister horn to “the” York

As heard on the Chicago Symphony's 1968 Rite of Spring recording. It looks as if the valves have been redone. Dropping them off at the shop for reconditioning to restore them to former glory! 20231212_110832.jpg Did you end up with the horn? How does it play? No, different guy in town picked it up....

Re: Tuba repairman at Dillon Music BEFORE Martin Wilk?

I helped a young tubist yesterday evening with a sticky valve on a custom tuba (various source parts, MW valve set, etc., needed a cleaning…). They said that they were told by the last owner that it was assembled by the repairman before Martin Wilk at Dillon Music. They didn’t know/couldn’t remembe...
