I want trombones to sound like trombones. Not slide euphoniums. .

A good Kalison DS gets a pretty emphatic vote from me.

Not sure there is a better tuba you can get for the money than a 2J or 3J. I'm pretty enticed by this actually.

Something like what you describe is EXACTLY what I'm looking for I may actually prefer top action just to be different...and it's also better for standing with a strap, and should be a better line of sight to the drummer

I'm pretty sure that's a CC...

Several years ago, there was one of these for sale. I was honestly wondering where it ended up. I would really like to own a rotary King at some point in my life. Just curious if anyone remembers seeing it?

So, I'm more than likely going to acquire a York sousaphone soon. However, it doesn't happen to have a neck or bits. So I need to know what I'm getting into here. Are there options available from current offerings, or do I need to have something made or source an original? Any help is appreciated ...

Bump. Please contact me with any pics or questions.

Tom is most definitely still alive.

Up for sale is my silver plated Conn 3J CC. This is a really great instrument, but I can't justify keeping it. It deserves to be played, and with my recent acquisition of a 3/4 Rudolf Meinl it's not going to be played very much at all. The Rudy just fits my sound concept better. I'm in Cincinnati ...

Sold! I am now the proud owner of a Rudy 3/4!

Deal Pending

Find a bronze Dillon M1C. That's what I'm using on the Rudy right now. It's a beast!

I hadn't planned on it, but I could probably make it down early in the day on Thursday or Friday since I have gigs both nights. Saturday the 28th would be doable as well.

Up for sale, is my Rudolf Meinl 5/4 CC. It's a truly wonderful instrument but my playing needs, and bank account can't really justify keeping it. I'm happy to provide any pictures, and answer any questions about it. I'm asking $8500, but will happily entertain offers. I'm in Cincinnati, OH and will ...

What am I missing? What's a "Poverty Bag"? Poverty Bag = cheap/run of the mill/nothing special. See also; Poverty Hub Caps = cheap/run of the mill/standard equipment/dog dish wheel hub cover. Ahh. Got it. Hilariously the last vehicle I was involved with the sale of, had "Poverty Caps" on it. It was ...

The first thing to go has to be that Altieri Poverty Bag!!

Just forwarded it to a good friend here in Cincinnati who has a penchant for those particular models. It looks beautiful!

That, is sexy as hell.

I have an Altieri for Rudy 5/4. Works quite well.
