Roger Rocco is presenting what will likely be his last masterclass on November 14th. At age 78 he is beginning to slow down and is no longer traveling. He has insisted that this be a free event so he can share his methods of playing and teaching to anyone that wants to attend.

Brass players all ...

Actually the CHI A shank is .525 rather than the very small .520 like Yamaha and Bach make. The EEb Bass Model is .522 and the Gourlay is actually smaller at .518.

So if you like a bit larger than .525 the IR 1 A shank or the EEb Bass would fit the bill.

Not sure what our European Dealer situation ...

The Tucci Vintage 66 is indeed the closest to the Old PT 19 with the addition of the old School Tucci heavier cup style added when it became the 66 - not like the current design. Also every time these were changed at all they would likely have had small other adjustments made.

We have just a few ...

As a 35 year plus Besson EEb Compensating player I can give you some strong recommendations:


The Wick and Alliance 3s never were to my liking.

For many years I did us a 24AW - rim can somewhat limit flexibility but great for long playing sessions

Also Used a Schilke 67 great for ensemble work ...

Glad you like it!

Your review and comments are right on point with my own.

I would add a few thoughts

I like this mouthpiece and it has specific uses on my Nirschl York. I never expected it to be a great mouthpiece just a specialized tool however, I love it and use it as one of my main F ...

That is much of what I heard before. Our intention is to deal with a minimal amount of absolutely necessary administrative things by email and when we get together spend the time playing. We would love to have you participate in whatever way you are willing and able and your past experience ...

25+ years ago the Metro Cats Tuba Euphonium Ensemble was a strong ensemble in the Chicago area. A few of us, including an original member, are talking about resurrecting that group. We have the metro cats original book 159 charts often with multiple pieces in one chart so likely 250+ quality ...

This is a great all around, do it all, F tuba. Model 45SLP. Great low register, singing upper register, big sound but also beautiful sound for soloistic playing, pitch is very good, valve action excellent. Bottom bow guard has lacquer wear and 2 small dents, a few other spots of lacquer wear ...

I owned an HB2 for 8 years. It was the easiest horn to play I have had. Pitch great no problem with any note all the way down. The guy I sold it to 25+ years ago still has it and loves it. Sold it to pay for my Nirschl York. A few years later I got a PT20 rotor that was close but not quite as good ...

This is a wonderful book that every serious tubist should have on their shelf! Get it before they are all gone

I have a large sear that is not stamped Helleberg but is that type that had belonged to AJ. It was a soft nickel alloy no plating. I did gold plate it so I could use it.

Really nice MP on large horns

Anyone in the Chicago area need a Tuba shipping box? Was used to ship a large F tuba with 17 inch bell and had plenty of room. Would work great for most F or Eb and small CC or BBb. Filled with packing peanuts. 31.5 wide 25 high 48.5 long. Just pick it up and it is yours otherwise going in to the ...
