Re: Review of Stencel Gig Bag


Looks nice! Not sure I totally trust those D rings. The rings, and the attachment of those to the bag, are high stress points.

How much does it cost?


Ive had my stencil bag for over a year and a half now. Its actually the tan and brown one they have photographed on their website. So far its ...

Need a 20j leadpipe and water key assmb

Hi all. I need a 20j leadpipe. Silver preferred or raw brass. If you have one or can bend one let me know. I don’t feel like doing it….

Also if anyone has any. I’m looking for two old style water keys for the horn as well. (The fancy looking ones)

Re: Chinese sousaphone valve sections for franken tuba?;


I was chatting with a guy from Brazil who lives in the USA and he buys Chinese valvesets on Ali Baba and grafts them to Conn 20J bottom bow/bodies and Jupiter marching tuba bells, and sells the finished product in Brazil. Pretty interesting. I'd like to find the link to the 4-piston valvesets he ...

I was close to buying it. The guy seemed a little questionable but I had to back out. So I don’t think he’s selling anything to anyone not local. He also took about a week to respond to me

WTB/WTT 6/4 C tuba or miraphone 1291 Bb for my Besson 995

I'm looking for something that is non-Eastman mainly because I have trust issues with their valves, and since no one makes a 5/4(or whatever i think of as a 5/4) version of my Besson 995 I'm really looking for a 6/4 York style horn. This will more than likely be a trade + cash ordeal though if given ...
