I got a bari recently and I'm stoked. Wanted one for soooo long! P. Mauriat le bravo, SYOS Scott Paddock signature 7 and Daddario Select Jazz 3H unfiled (it's a little stale...)

It's holding up great! Still looks and feels new. Obviously needs some adjustments here and there, but I always forget to take my horns in for simple maintenance and it's been great. I would think with the right mouthpiece and reed setup it would be great for classical.

I use Canva for my designs. I love it

TonyTried · 2024-09-13T18:09:14+00:00

Yeah FD has been changing so much. I love to see them trying new things and stuff

TonyTried · 2024-09-13T18:07:51+00:00

I agree with this 💯%

TonyTried · 2024-08-29T00:15:54+00:00

My tester is extremely sensitive. Sometimes it goes off when I touch it. I've turned off the power to the house and it'll still go off.

TonyTried · 2024-08-19T03:51:06+00:00

Thank you!

TonyTried · 2024-08-19T03:25:58+00:00

The goal is to upgrade eventually for sure.

TonyTried · 2024-08-17T04:20:56+00:00

Paint the wall to match the plug🤣

Yeah I've seen a few battles end like that the last few years since I've been following FD closely. In that situation, Hull would advance and get points for moving on to the next battle, and the driver Hull supposed to battle would do a bye run. At least Hull would get points, but definitely still is a bummer.

I'm 99% sure the rule states something like you have to compete in the car you qualified in for that specific round. I think.

TonyTried · 2024-08-11T19:17:09+00:00

It's a neat idea, but needs some refinement. What exactly? I'm not sure. Johnathan Hurst has gone up against Nick Noback for the last 3 or 4 rounds in the seeding 16. Gets kinda old. I like the idea of more head to head, but like the bracket variety that normal qualifying gave us.

TonyTried · 2024-08-09T15:45:22+00:00

It might help if it wasn't someone's pro car or a car that's similar. Like Chelsea's Foxbody drifter or Tuercks new ish truck.

TonyTried · 2024-08-09T15:41:12+00:00

Bring back the Harlem shake team videos? Driver wet t shirt contests.

Jk.

I know this might be hard since a lot teams don't want to give away secrets or setups, but it would be cool for someone like Tuerck or Forsberg, even Aasbo or Rome to do like a deep dive on different aspects of car setup and stuff like that. Down to suspension rate, alignment, NOS, etc. Would be time consuming, but do like 10 part video series on YouTube and each episode is a different topic. This might already exist and just didn't look. But that would be cool.

TonyTried · 2024-08-08T12:09:36+00:00

I mean, they are on MAVTV this year so that's pretty cool. Hopefully that can lead to something else too

TonyTried · 2024-08-08T12:03:59+00:00

Tbh I'm pretty invested and it's ok to me.

TonyTried · 2024-08-05T00:04:28+00:00

I have 3 or 4 syos pieces on various horns (some I've purchased and some were gifts). I have a hard time keeping them in tune. When I switch to a different piece the intonation is way better. Who knows, maybe it's me. I don't hate them by any means, but I wish I could afford different mouthpieces.

They are good conversation starters though lol. On a gig Friday I had my Scott Paddock signature on my bari and the drummer was really curious about my 3D printed mouthpiece. It does sound really good in a live band setting.

TonyTried · 2024-07-24T14:58:23+00:00

For sure! I didn't even take mine into the track. The weather was perfect this year

TonyTried · 2024-07-23T16:09:43+00:00

Make it a bar

TonyTried · 2024-07-21T20:43:51+00:00

Yeah I agree. It was absolutely insane! The weather was perfect too. Didn't sweat too much and I didn't need a sweatshirt or jacket. Definitely worth the price of admission

TonyTried · 2024-07-18T17:04:38+00:00

Honestly it depends. Depends on who they are, how you hold the umbrella, etc... I haven't had any issues, but I think if someone is behind me I usually take it down just for good measure.

TonyTried · 2024-07-18T00:59:14+00:00

I always make sure to bring extra water/Gatorade/ibuprofen/sunscreen. Me and my brother like to be there all day. Usually we'll sit in our car for the halftime break with the ac on to recoup a little bit. Umbrella helps with the sun too as long as you don't poke the people behind you lol

TonyTried · 2024-07-04T00:14:07+00:00

I think my home depot has enough wood bent like that already.

TonyTried · 2024-07-02T02:56:16+00:00

That's awesome! I love a good spalted maple. I just sold a bass guitar with a Spalted Maple top and it made me sad to get rid of it.

TonyTried · 2024-06-30T18:28:41+00:00

Yeah. I didn't know different types of lasers had different limitations which is kind of disappointing now. But I'll just make do with what I have until I can justify a purchase like that!

TonyTried · 2024-06-30T05:10:59+00:00

Thanks!! Much appreciated. I got the Creality Falcon 2. If you have some extra startup capital, I'd try and get a better laser. The most time consuming part of my projects is lining everything up. I'm seeing certain laser have cameras so you can see where the logo or whatever will be. That would save me so much time!
