How well do practice mutes work? Do they really dim the sound enough that my neighbors won't complain? Also, are there enough benefits of a Yamaha silent mute to make it worth the extra cost? How do I even tell which of these things will fit my f tuba? I'll be honest, I'm completely lost in the ...

Quite possibly. I posted this exact text and title to Reddit, and this account copied and pasted it within a couple days if I remember correctly.

Bump

Bump! Travelling south to Kentucky soon

I'm probably going to upset a lot of people by saying this, but I really hate free buzzing. Buzzing without the mouthpiece and without any resistance is mechanically an entirely different process to actual playing of the instrument. At best I could imagine it being argued for ear training or just ...

Ba-bump

Would be a sweet gig if I wasn't so fat! Good luck to everyone who auditions!

It's funny to read an exact copy of a post I made on Reddit. Uncanny really. Same title, same text, everything. Guess I'm famous now?

Bump!

I expect *waves arms* all of this from @bloke in addition to mentioning how Obama is the Antichrist,

but damn... the rest of you just went Ludacris Speed.

:laugh:


Honestly I thought this Shirt post was going to go literally nowhere with like a reply a day, but then it popped off cause some ...

Even the Germans on social media pull out their F instruments.


I've done video and audio posting on social media before, not here but on other sites. The feedback generally wasn't super helpful, and only once did a conversation start where I enjoyed the back and forth. As to the BBb question, I ...

To me, this statement reads as if you are saying a pedal note (including it's resultant overtones) is impossible to play if the room is too small, and I think this is thedancingsousa's understanding also.

You are correct!

If you're going to begin lumping me in with that crowd, I'm probably going to start ignoring you. Me pointing out that I can play a really low note in a tiny room without having to open up doors surely ruffled your feathers, I can see.

I went back and looked at that other thread and saw it was you ...

It is regrettable that the OP scoffs at these real, important, and demonstrable physics limitations in tuba playing.


Only thing I scoffed at was the idea that I couldn't play a pedal note in a small room. I laughed at that because it's a silly idea. Go off though! :bow2: :laugh:

I think that depends on your haircut and whether or not you can shout directly at a manager.

Even cheaper directly through Dillon

One way to get shouted down (most anywhere) is to state the obvious.


Down is a weird direction to shout... which seems obvious.

Does it take more or less breath than ordinary shouting?

I guess i don't get it.


Down is easier than up because you're going with the direction of gravity ...

Lots of discussion I remember seeing recently surrounding the ideas surrounding air moving through the horn. Standing waves and pedal notes not fitting in small rooms (actually laughed out loud when I read that one) and more. While I'm not here to argue about the idea that moving air is not the ...
