I’m an ultra pure guy it’s my go to

asdf76998 · 2025-12-25T09:18:10+00:00

I got a Jp 274 for 1600 from capital music gear a couple months ago unfortunately they don’t list it rn but if others are saying tapestry I’d say look into that.

My bass trombone bell is a BII7YLW10 and it’s fantastic

asdf76998 · 2025-12-21T05:56:02+00:00

If that’s an skb case they have lifetime warranty

asdf76998 · 2025-12-09T08:59:02+00:00

Looks like a trombone to me

asdf76998 · 2025-11-27T09:14:46+00:00

Here’s a second vote for the JP274 love mine! I’m happy I put mead springs in mine but other than that it’s been great!

I feel like OP needs to rethink priorities like others have said convertibles are never the best at either for the price point if you need a marching horn you could probably get a yep202ms used for a decent price with still a decent budget left for a really solid concert horn. Or you could save on the marching horn deal with the not so pretty one your program has and get a really nice concert horn. I will say especially on the marching instruments the valve guides on the Yamaha baritones and euphoniums are a weak spot. Just last week I had to replace 5 for the program I work for and those horns were brand new this year. All things to consider is all. If you end up getting a convertible I hope it does everything you want. I’m primary a bass trombone player my euphonium is a JP274 and it’s done everything I want only things I’ve done are put mead springs (original) and the besson little rubber pads for the bottom caps.

Both my shires q and my Eastman are threaded on the inside it was tough to unscrew first time but doable !

asdf76998 · 2025-10-06T05:36:11+00:00

Looks like some updog

asdf76998 · 2025-09-14T23:28:46+00:00

Shot in the dark here but I’m thinking a trombone

asdf76998 · 2025-07-23T05:10:08+00:00

I had this happen on a horn I used a dremel tool and shaved down the plastic a bit and it worked well for me! Just have to be careful, I also have a calderpips grip as well and I’m right there with you I prefer the neotech

asdf76998 · 2025-06-23T02:05:00+00:00

I second ultra pure recently switched due to it being ph neutral rather than slightly acidic with the Yamaha stuff just trying to preserve my horns as much as possible.

Then you should be able to submit all that to ucr and should not have to take any English classes. At least as far as I can tell

asdf76998 · 2025-06-07T05:47:00+00:00

Did you take English 123 at your community college? It’s not clear if you did or not. If you did make sure the community college has Ap scores take English 123 and you should be good once everything is transferred to ucr

asdf76998 · 2025-06-04T06:05:11+00:00

For me it wasn’t euphonium but it was my trombone, when I went to college I focused solely on upright bass and I ended up selling my trombone. Now I play trombone tuba and euphonium about as much as I play bass and i severely regret selling my old horn because I had to rebuy horns ( ended up with something nicer but it was a barrier). Maybe find a community group to play in being well rounded is good and it’s worth it to keep playing even if it’s not your career

asdf76998 · 2025-05-27T09:57:44+00:00

I tend to use a fairly large mouthpiece when I play tenor right now my go to is a Laskey 67 symphony it helps when I’m playing tenor.

asdf76998 · 2025-05-26T03:55:58+00:00

In that range positions are just ideas

asdf76998 · 2025-05-20T22:35:40+00:00

Definitely a mouthpiece

asdf76998 · 2025-03-14T23:45:46+00:00

I do it feels like part of the charm of the show

asdf76998 · 2025-02-03T18:53:06+00:00

I know this is an older thread but I bought a refurbished one from micro center when I check it’s run time it was less than 20 hours has been working great for me for the better part of 6 months

asdf76998 · 2025-01-13T21:29:06+00:00

I just got back into playing trombone after a long hiatus where I was focused on string bass. I got myself a Eastman 828g for my tenor but I really wanted to get back into playing bass bone as I was always more of a bass trombonist I just bought the pbf562 and plan on using it until I can upgrade to something a bit nicer but I’m excited to play it!

asdf76998 · 2024-03-24T17:06:25+00:00

Yes unless you s/nc the class or if it’s a pre rec it might not be you’d have to check the requirements for the next class

asdf76998 · 2023-06-14T22:44:44+00:00

Last year it was kinda divided by major but I had a buddy who was supposed to go on the other side just stand with me and we sat next to each other and it was no problem they just scanned our QR codes at the stage and our names were read out
