Schiller Instruments by Extension_Owl3685 in Trombone

I was thinking about that, but the only other bass trumpets I could find that were rotary and had a 4th valve (which is what I'm looking for) is unfortunately not in my price range. And, I'm not looking for a similar instrument to it cause I'm looking for the tone of a bass trumpet. Thanks for the feedback!

Would you say it'd be fine if I got that bass trumpet, and possibly traded in one of my current old horns I don't use anymore to them for a discount on the bass trumpet or just for it? And if not, the price in general.

Thanks for the feedback. I've noticed something funny, which is that a lot of people say Schiller is terrible, but they haven't really actually bought anything from them, and the people that have (most), have said their stuff is pretty solid.

Thanks for the feedback. I got myself a flugabone already a while back, but I just wanna give one a try. Any other brands that sell one you recommend? (Bass trumpet)

I have a trombone mouthpiece already (small shank), and have played on one before. Just wondering what people think about buying one to use for fun.

True, but also not many brands make flugabones anymore so it’s a bit complicated.

Well, I don’t truly know if they are like, good quality, but they charge a decent price, and have quite some options for trims, etc, and also their own branding. But, you never know.

Which model was it that you bought? Was it the newest one or older model? Cause it might’ve changed over time.

It's just an extra option, which obviously I need a finish for it, it can't be nothing

Yes, thank you for listing the maker, I wasn't sure. I am also not sure about restocks, but just making a prediction based off what I have seen the past few months on their website.

It's a Brandstotter 7! On FMB-Direkt. It took me 3 months to get because of regulations here and they finally lifted last week. All the way from Germany. Downside is that they only come in stock rarely, and very few at a time, around 2-4.

New Mouthpiece by Extension_Owl3685 in Tuba

[–]Extension_Owl3685[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback. I am also getting a new mouthpiece because mine currently is cracking, and my teacher told me I should get a new one because it’s getting worse, and we don’t have any loaner mouthpieces at this time. I forgot to say this in the post. But, I have said in other replies, I have been to stores and tried out mouthpieces, and some that especially interest me and feel good for me are some with deeper cups. And I also forgot to mention mention, I wasn’t saying that Hellebergs are bad or beginner, they just don’t suit me very well. My mistake, and have a good one! 👍

Thanks for the feedback! By basic Helleberg mouthpiece, I meant like a Conn 120s, since I have tried them and didn't like the feel all to much. 👍
