When you eventually rebuild your car's engine, that's likely not a socket you're going to find under the hood.


I would not expect to find it under the hood, but rather my toolbox . . . . maybe . . . :-) :-)

And either are e-torx, but some ...

Re: Stand Magnets

I'm still not sure where you get $1000 for a tablet . . . Nice 12 to 14 inch units that are grossly in excess of what is needed for sheet music can be found used for less than $150 . . .

(And lately, if I had a specific 'good horn', I'd play maybe one gig a year on it and practice . . . the summer ...

Or, with all the nonsense about "metric is better" why aren't European tubas called 1.0, 1.5, etc?

Re: Stand Magnets



My Ipad is laughing right now.


If you also get phone calls on your ipad (I have no idea if you can) then you could make that laugh the ring tone.
However, if there is a gust of wind strong enough to blow your stand over, it's my cook book cover that's going to be laughing at your ipad. :laugh ...

Re: Stand Magnets

Typically large binder clips, but I have to do 4 corners. Even were I to have a single 12 inch clip, I find that the wind will still get under it and flip it up, so need to secure all sides, and it would seem that simply sliding a magnet over and then back is easier than fiddling with even one clip ...

… beause you used proper music clips that allow for page turns, perhaps?

You cannot turn pages with these magnets because you have more than one item to remove, reset the page, then replace. Not a good idea unless ...

Re: School Me on Aftermarket Rotary Linkage

IIRC, the DuBro ball links are nylon, not plastic, and tend to hold up well. Consider also that normal R/C use has them moving more, faster, under a greater load, and in a far dirtier environment that I would expect to find on a horn.Couple that with the inability to forget to lubricate them, and ...

Re: Sellmansberger Orchestra Grand Ultimate is here - later on: Beatles chat

FYI, first chance to play this today. Not long, but it seems like this mouthpiece and my 1977-ish B-flat 186 really get along. Most mouthpieces I have tried either give me low range or high (but not both). Best so far has been my Mira TU-29, and this seems far better. Even prior to warming up, I get ...

Re: Sellmansberger Orchestra Grand Ultimate is here


As response to Mr Dawson, I've said about all I can say about these mouthpieces, their delivery and all that stuff. It's perfectly fine for the thread to evolve, at least as far as I'm concerned.

The Beatles reportedly wrote their music before they wrote their lyrics, but they used nonsense ...

Re: Sellmansberger Orchestra Grand Ultimate is here

If you hadn't sent it and see it fail, the 2 likely didn't chanfe anything. If you did (and it did), then it's a solution. Both land in the same mailbox on the same server . . .

In any case, received and paid!

Re: Sellmansberger Orchestra Grand Ultimate is here

As noted, mail from you comes in fine - I just have no way of knowing if/when you send anything from the payment processor. unless you also mail from your personal mail to let me know.
