Re: Eastman buys Willson

I agree, there will always be ambiguity concerning the "size" designations. To me, these are all visually 4/4 horns (the 1292 actually being a little larger physically). But the resonance coming out of that Merlin and the light weight.... I'm an old man and that is very appealing. Even though I ...

Yep! It was a Meinl 2000. I used to own a 2155, it was a great horn!

Re: Eastman buys Willson

Now the big question....how does the Eastman 834 compare to the Merlin? Weight and playing characteristics, price etc.?

And in this one... the Eastman hands down.

But opinions are like... and mine probably stinks.

Re: Eastman buys Willson

Bloke, I think they are changing that. The new Willson Merlin specs say it comes in at 9kg.... same as a 186.

To my ear I go back and forth between the Merlin and the 2000 as to which sound I prefer in this video.

Re: FS/FT mouthpieces MF3B, M1CB and TU42

BUMP

Also, would trade amy of the three for a Doug Elliott TU-TC cup. Or $100 plus $10 shipping for any of them. Would also trade for an AMHPaul the Great mpc.

WTT Doug Elliott for R&S TUHH, LM-6 or MF3 Lite

I've got a Doug Elliott 130N rim, T cup with T6E shank in excellent condition. Looking to trade for the mpcs listed in the title. Probably a long shot to find any of these... but you don't know if you don't ask.

Hercules tuba stand DS753BB

Weight limit showing 22lbs. Does anyone out there use one (particularly in the standing position) for a horn that weighs more than 22lbs? Specifically my Wyvern is listed at 25lbs.

Re: Wessex CC 6/4 Rotary valve Tuba 'Titan'

Chinese rotary horns concern me. I play on a Wessex Wyvern and I really like it. Intonation is spot on and you can get a huge sound out of it with the right mouthpiece. I like the idea of a rotary horn (I prefer rotary valves)... but not sure about this one. As of right now, those are not dice I'm ...

Possibly looking for Yamaha YCB-661 or YCB-861

Does anybody out there have either of these in good condition maybe looking for a POSSIBLE trade? I have a Wessex Wyvern with hard case and gig bag. Currently just looking to see if any of these are lurking around.

The ONLY reason I'm looking, is I prefer rotary valves.

Re: Rudi Meinl 4/4 CC, $7,500 (Winston-Salem, NC/FB)

Years ago (2012) I sold mine to a student at Oklahoma City University. If that person still has that horn and has any interest in selling it. Please let me know, I would love to buy it back.
