Re: Trip to Dillon Music 1/3/26: reviews and such
I remember hearing somewhere that a lot of those Yorkbrunners/HB piston 4/4’s can benefit from a 3rd slide cut. My HB2P was just fine in that department, but YMMV. This early one may just have been built too long.
$18K… Optimistic, especially with the current inflated York copy market, but you do ...

Re: info for those who are going to six-figure debt to study tuba orchestral excerpts
I think it’s fine if people go to school for postgraduate music degrees so long as they know what they want out of a career and have a clear concept of what they want/need from a program. What bothers me is how common it is for students to decide to enter a grad program as a means to buy time while ...

Re: Elephant's Conservatory
I like a lot of what you wrote here. I do want to emphasize #9 for anyone interested in auditioning for professional bands or orchestras. Being able to articulate clearly will set you apart from the vast majority of the field in tuba auditions. Tone, groove and clarity is the holy trinity of ...

My favorite is the US Army Tuba Euphonium Workshop at Ft. Myer in Arlington, VA. It is free, three and a half days, and occurs the first weekend in February. Parking is free and you can also tour DC when you're in town.

FS/WTT: Wessex Chicago Presence 6/4 CC for a 5/4 or 4/4 CC
I love this tuba. I won my dream job on it, twice (Army Ceremonial and Concert band). It’s been well maintained and has been cleaned at least twice a year (by myself) since I bought it in 2020. I’m not 100% sold on parting with it yet but I’d like to see what is offered.

I played the big BBb at Klingspor in Freiburg couple of years ago and it's a great instrument, I wouldn't mind owning one as my big tuba!

I would personally not buy any tuba like this without trying it though...

Re: U.S. Army Band Tuba-Euphonium Workshop Location Change
Thanks, Marc, for the FYI. I appreciate the work you all have put in finding alternate sites.
Just a couple questions:
1-Is there a place to eat lunch within short walking distance from Rosenthal and Patton? Or, will we need to drive to the bowling alley?
2-Will there be enough parking near either ...
