A million years ago, YOU were the "tuba coach" for my HS marching band. IIRC, I ...

I've never been much of a "mouthpiece guy" and haven't spent a ton of time thinking about them. Just got what a teacher recommended and stuck with it. These days, I've been thinking more about their characteristics and their effects. Right now I am concerned with euro vs american shank. Is this the ...

I like that you mention Joe Girlando. He was a pretty cool guy who I got to work with a little bit during college.

I am glad I stumbled on this thread, Mark, because I want to let you know that I got your private message. But I can't reply to it because I am too new here. Plus I don't have your ...

Thanks everyone. Harbor Freight was convenient so I check it out. This is what I found for $6. From narrowest to widest. In case people in the future have the same question

I am spending way too much time trying to figure out which valve casing brush I should get for my tuba. If anyone could recommend one that is big enough I would appreciate it.

As the subject says, for sale is the Yamaha 67B4 mouthpiece. I bought it new about 3 months ago and I have probably spent 20 minutes with it. So, it is in excellent condition. I can't reply to PM's yet, so email me at santwarg@mac.com if interested.

$70 shipped to USA.

OK - I got your PM. But I cannot reply to it because I'm new around here. Please let me know how to proceed with getting the RT-50L from you. You can email me at santwarg@mac.com

Also, it's a long shot, but let me know if you happen to be anywhere between Baltimore, Md and Harrisburg, Pa. If so ...

Can you tell me about the condition of the RT-50L?

Thanks
Stefan

She understands :).

That's the Eastman 832. Just got it a week ago. Finally getting back into C tuba after 15 years of only F. It's been a challenge.

Thanks buddy. Because I have a feeling people are not going to have this, I started the tedious process of screenshotting the tuba part on the score found on youtube. Line by line. I got the 1st mov't done. But I still wouldn't mind a clean copy if someone has it.

Stefan

I would like a copy of the tuba part to Malcolm Arnold's "Four Cornish Dances." Orchestra version. The orchestra I am playing with has this programed for the fall, but it's a bear of a part and I would like to practice it now. It's a rental, and they WILL rent it. So I feel like I am not doing ...
