Schilke 51D is always a solid choice to try. My personal preference is the Brian Bowman BB1. Though I'm primarily a trombone/euphonium player who doubles on tuba. I've never been a fan of using trombone mouthpieces (like standard Bachs) on euphonium...not a characteristic sound (for me, anyways) and ...

I just spend lots of money on mouthpieces...that means I have to practice less to sound good.

Thanks for fixing it, you guys rock

Sorry about that!

It ain’t working for me.

Can you try again? I made a couple changes that I'm hoping will help.

Thanks. That has helped for most (though there are a couple that are having issues despite doing that...trying to do my best to help those people out).

Exact one I've been looking for, but this was a little too steep for me.

The story also said,

Conn Selmer sent 19 News a statement after our story aired, saying they haven’t made a final decision yet.

The announcement was made on the first day of contract negotiations between the UAW and Conn Selmer, Kalman stated.


So maybe some of it is posturing by Conn ...

I found another article with more specifics on the China manufacturing plan:

Today, Conn Selmer announced a tentative decision to close its Eastlake, Ohio manufacturing plant on or about June 30, 2026. This proposed action is subject to negotiation with the union representing Conn Selmer’s hourly ...

I once bought a Mirafone 186 on eBay, and the seller dropped it off at a UPS store (and they did the "packing"). Arrived in a box with ZERO packing material. Bell was mangled and the fourth rotor no longer worked. Was repairable, but I took pictures immediately upon opening...seller was great and ...

I have a Weltklang (B&S stencil) 3-rotor tenorhorn for sale. If interested let me know and I can send you pics and additional information.

I use a Protec 18" for mine. At first it seemed a little small (one area where the zipper was "snug"), but over time it has molded to my tuba pretty well. Good budget bag.

WOOOOOOOOO, let's GOOOOOOOOOOO! This is the #1 festival I want to attend in-person sometime in my life.

Thank you, all!

The message currently on TubeNet occurs when an admin goes into the control panel and personally deactivates the board. I'm assuming this means he's working on it. If it's a software issue it'll be up and running quickly I would assume. If it's a database issue that would be quite bad...

Maybe they'll do $675 without? :)

I'm not 100% certain, but I believe these may have belonged to Joel Blahnik. He lived in Door County and was the resident expert on Czech music. Joel passed away earlier this year.
