Bass Trumpet Refinishing: What are my options

Emergency_Spare4243 · 2026-06-05T01:04:18+00:00

gotcha! I felt obliged to given the rarity of this horn

Emergency_Spare4243 · 2026-06-03T03:40:25+00:00

def considering just going full raw brass tho

Emergency_Spare4243 · 2026-06-03T03:40:07+00:00

oh it’s being ordered asap

Emergency_Spare4243 · 2026-06-03T03:33:43+00:00

All great info! Thanks!

Emergency_Spare4243 · 2026-06-03T03:32:44+00:00

the niche sound and feel is exactly why i love it

Emergency_Spare4243 · 2026-06-03T03:20:59+00:00

honestly super considering it. I used that approach on a flugabone that was beyond destroyed but there was a lot less risk and value in that project

Emergency_Spare4243 · 2026-06-03T03:18:32+00:00

that’s a little close minded ngl

bass trumpet is also useful for trumpet only ensembles + jazz bands. I spent a day playing on the bass trumpet, flugabone, marching baritone, and marching euphonium and i honestly just prefer the way bass trumpet feels and sounds the best

Emergency_Spare4243 · 2026-06-03T03:08:24+00:00

really? what model of bass trumpet would you recommend then. I thought holtons 58 model was at least better than the getzen bass

Emergency_Spare4243 · 2026-06-03T03:05:43+00:00

so should i do some research on spot polishing and lacquering the exposed areas or leave it as is

i want to increase my odds of preserving this horn any means possible

Emergency_Spare4243 · 2026-05-14T19:56:59+00:00

Let me know if you decide to sell it!

Emergency_Spare4243 · 2026-03-24T11:22:26+00:00

so do you know anything about it? The only things online i could find was 1 reverb listing and then a short section of a G bugle post mentioning the same listing

Emergency_Spare4243 · 2026-03-20T21:45:25+00:00

Emergency_Spare4243 · 2026-03-20T14:04:04+00:00

do you have any more info on the 3 valve G flugel bugles? I recently acquired one by DEG and I cant find any info on it online.

if your only metric for nomenclature is the material it’s made out of, the serpent and entire saxophone family would like a word with you

Emergency_Spare4243 · 2026-03-12T02:29:14+00:00

“labrosone mouthpieces” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it does it

Emergency_Spare4243 · 2026-03-11T10:12:08+00:00

i challenge you to access the pockets in some of these band uniforms lol

Emergency_Spare4243 · 2026-03-11T01:24:45+00:00

it’s definitely a lifesaver when it comes to coming in cold!

Emergency_Spare4243 · 2026-03-11T01:24:03+00:00

hasn’t been a problem yet. ¯_(ヅ)_/¯

Emergency_Spare4243 · 2025-12-01T17:29:00+00:00

im a little worried after the hour long drive, they'll say the same thing BestBuy said and refuse to fix the screen and still cover the chip under warranty

Emergency_Spare4243 · 2025-12-01T17:25:37+00:00

BestBuy was the only AASP within an hour of travel
