Thanks!
People probably don’t want to hear my Shirt all over again here, so email was sent. I’ll have some additional band (section) stuff to send later.bort2.0 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 28, 2022 11:48 am Can anyone point me to some recording examples of a Rudy 3/4 CC being played in an orchestra?
I believe that Pat Landolfini(sp?) Played one as his primary instrument in the NJSO, but I'm not aware of any other examples. I'm sure there are some, I just don't know them.
I haven't found too many examples of this model on YouTube. I believe that hey Rudy 3/4 CC was used on several of the burning River brass cds, and I listened to some of those. I just want to hear what it sounds like in an orchestra setting.
At one time, Rex was a dealer for Rudy Meinl and the exchange rate was very advantageous for US buyers. He had a complete set (F, 3/4, 4/4, and 5/4) in both yellow and gold brass. I am pretty sure the 5/4 Rudy was his main instrument (I remember seeing a photo of him with it when he was subbing on a CSO Japan tour). But I also believe he had access to the Yorks when he was subbing. I know that he showed up at the Grant Park audition (won by Fritz Kaenzig) with one of the Yorks. Just seems like he would have preferred the big tubas with the CSO instead of the 3/4 Rudy, but I could be mistaken.aarongsmith wrote: ↑Thu Sep 01, 2022 11:40 am Not sure of any video or recording, but I believe Rex Martin used a Rudy 3/4 while subbing in the Chicago Symphony. In fact, that may have been the same horn that Andrew Hitz now owns.
I've known people who were students in that area at that time who purchased the big ass Rudy tubas, interestingly I've not met one Northwestern student from that era who plays one of the 3/4 horns...Andy wrote: ↑Mon Sep 19, 2022 4:16 pmAt one time, Rex was a dealer for Rudy Meinl and the exchange rate was very advantageous for US buyers.

Matthew Gaunt played on one of these about a decade ago... so you could theoretically look for burning river brass, Chicago chamber musicians, Milwaukee and Chicago symphonies... although you'd probably need to ask him on which recordings the Rudi can be heard...
