My JP 377 doesn’t like either of my Denis Wick 3 or 3L

Neosporin/ Petroleum Jelly do the same thing in terms of healing if it’s not infected. Moisturized skin heals faster than dry skin.

As for car related things I’ve found that if it’s not a break pad or rotor issue type sound (something I can fix) to turn the volume up on your radio and the sound ...

It's fascinating how plainly stated truth causes people to raise their eyebrows (as well as for some to become personally offended), isn't it?

Being offended by a man that makes sweeping generalizations that cut down not only myself but my friends and my coworkers who’ve gone through similar things that I have without acknowledging what we DONT HAVE today isn’t personal.

It’s a fact.

I’m sorry that that happened to your son and I hope ...

I’m not the one making sweeping generalizations about the American workforce as a person who owns their own business.

Pathetic.

Very few people are interested in doing anything that gets them sweaty, dirty, or sore, and most people are attracted to things that involve staring at screens and just using their fingers in gentle ways.

A lot of the posts going around about this wildly misleading.

August 27 is NOT the date some new 25% “tuba tariff” automatically goes into effect. August 27 is the deadline for public comments on the proposal. That is a huge difference.

The federal notice literally says brass instruments and ...

Put them next to a drummer who can’t keep a steady beat in the polka band.

I'll be glad to keep the ones you've got in working order.
For now, I'm not charging the 25% surcharge. :thumbsup:

In the meantime, I might be selling off a couple of my very best instruments fairly soon...

I’m having a hell of a time trying to find the docket on regulations.gov to comment. Letting ya’ll know ahead of time that this is difficult.

At least for a dumb 36 year old such as myself.

There will be a 25% tariff increase in brass instruments and accessories (mouthpieces, valves etc) starting August 27th

Im judging by the lack of chirping that the new Wessex Rotary 6/4 didn’t perform well?

Most people seem to comment on how it feels to blow through them, the tone qualities they perceive from underneath the bells of their tubas, how comfortable they are to hold and play, how much they weigh, how far the mouthpiece goes into the receiver, and even how strong the springs are for the ...
