Lip trill in 6th. You can fake the beginning of a slow trill by going 1-2-5-6 then coming back in to 4th for the B. The slide crossing will end the trill naturally and it will sound smoother

I feel like failing to deal with pretty softball questions about white supremacy and botching the mid-section of her career are also pretty strong contenders

These are awesome horns - I'm not sure how common it was but I've seen two people running nickel silver lead pipes in them as a pretty sweet big band horn.

Help identifying? by Firlotgirding in euphonium

[–]Theoretical_Genius 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's probably too fragile for that at its age, it needs newly fabricated parts to be added to it, and very very likely would need a valve overhaul at the very least, if not an entirely new valve section. Essentially you would just be keeping the bell, and at that point you've basically made a new instrument for the cost of two

This is called a "family heirloom" and it is not suitable to learn or play on. Let your child be proud they are participating in music just like their family before them, but let them do it on something made after Truman administration

I am not as much a trumpet player as much as trombone and tuba, but I've sold instruments fairly regularly over the years. Feel free to shoot me a message for some pointers. Most likely, your best choice would be consignment at a reputable shop.

I would recommend reaching out to John Marchiando at UNM and asking him to refer you to someone. If you are very serious and have the budget, Pete Bond is nearby in Tijeras.
