@gocsick I never had much luck with false tones on that horn. The long and straight slides on 1 and 3 were very functional.
I heard a few times that it looked like I was playing a trombone when pulling the 3rd valve slide for a pedal C.

I purchased this euphonium at Tuba Exchange. @ghmerrill took excellent care of the euphonium and I had a great experience at Tuba Exchange.

Bump for the Wessex Eb. I suspect that horn was also very well maintained!

Curious about these new instruments. Can you share photos or model information?

Replies show up, but the original post is missing?

You could make chess pieces.

It needs a lot more than some love…

Some bell wrinkle, but not too bad.

Brand new seller, located in Texas.

MTS has a tuba figment guide that you can download here:

PT6 looks like a special order. I haven’t ordered anything from MTS, so I don’t know if that is up to date or what their production status may be.

This new horn from Mack Brass might be worth a look. A band mate has really liked his ZO Thunderbird CC. Chris Olka’s review videos are well done too.

Excellent find, congrats!

I think you solved everything!

You are paying close attention! I have a King sousaphone that was modified by the previous owner to graft a non-matching 4th valve onto the block. I am changing to larger finger buttons and decided the King 2341 buttons were both cost effective and comfortable. The original valve caps for 1-3 were ...

I opted to buy a mirror for $5. https://a.co/d/4B7geHR A 00 or 000 dental mirror would have more clearance. The visual inspection confirms the original components are ok, but I will need to get some different felt and maybe a longer valve stem to use the new valve top cap and finger button. Thanks ...

I have used the 18” holster with my Martin Mammoth 6/4. It was stable and pretty comfortable, even for a 2 hour gig.

I want to check my piston valve height alignment, but I don’t have a Borescope or inspection mirror that fits inside of the neighbor valve casing. There are several valve positions that I cannot see when pulling the slides. Is there a different way to check piston height, or do I need a mirror or s ...

The US site only shows a CC version of the Thunderbird. My bandmate plays one and loves it. He says it’s just as nimble as a 4/4 CC, but has the output of the 6/4 when needed.

Mack’s US site lists their YorkaZo 5000 5/4 as the largest BBb option:

That’s a nice one!
It looks very similar to “Big Bertha” that I played in high school marching band.
Enjoy
