I could cut and past the link to another post, or i could cut and paste the text and edit a little... so indecision...

And the picture of both from the text:

I don't think i can, at least at the moment...

That would involve joining face book, right?

Sigh...
I probably will take Galadriel as my example...

And i guess eventually is now...

Is the ebay seller's pic.

And my brief shot of it next to my previous one is:

And my apologies for not taking a ...

I might as well send a PM too.

But just in case i'm too lazy (and i am lazy enough not too look closely enough at the pictures to answer my own quetion) how different is the 350 from the 105?

What is the significance of ebay.io vs ebay.com?

PS looking closer, the seller has this totally unrelated auction:

Anyone know about EESI-LYPE?

(for some reasoni thought i'd posted elsewhere on the forum, and maybe i did but not by that name...

For the small set of instrument they fit, they have become a favorite despite not much playing time and the signifcant differences in the two examples i've come across.

So... you're saying it's just a British version of a Cerveny mouthpiece? No wonder i like it...

(will look more closely at the catalogue when i'm not driving)

Thanks a bunch!

Piqued my curiosity... What were them plugs for? Or rather the holes, as obviously the plugs fill the holes...

Congrats!

I can see my spine crumbling just by looking at it :laugh:


It ain't to bad.

I did marched with one on the 4th of July just to say did it.
And now i'm sayin' i did it. Funny that.

I admit, i was a little tired by the end of the day. But i could be heard without overblowing...

PS ...

So i have played me a 2X J/K a time or two.

And i've even taken some short jaunts on the Holton short-action tuba/sousa, but i can't say i've really played a Buescher short-action.

Anyone know how they behave?

I expect it's like asking for the moon if anyone here had one they would part with, but ...

I whole heartedly appreciate the levity, and have no on to blame but myself if that's all i get, especially as i did not provide enough info for anyone to make an informed comment unless they knew the make...

So here is a little more :

My, she was yar...

I think the first link had been posted here before, though not sure of the second one. I like seeing the BBb one in the collection!

In the first link, i just scrolled down to ogle the Eb trombone with the connected trigger slide.

Oh yeah, i've been remiss about not posting pics of the mouthpieces ...

Alas i'm not yet that responsible...

But definitely is a good idea.

Here it is next to a Yorkbrunner

Imgur is kinda finicky with links, here ya go:



I bet it’s a lot lighter than the HB.

Perty! (sounding too, i bet)

I knew someone who got a sousa for $25 once.

But the cheapest tuba i have gotten still was $50 eb.

(and i've gotten that price a few times...)

Someone should snatch it up. Unless there is a misplaced decimal point...

Let us know what you think of the cerveny 693 once you did play it. I am curious about your findings.


Concur.

I think i played one that was relatively cheap for obvious reasons, and really enjoyed it. Remember pontificating with other forum member(s) that if the tight-wrapped normal size ...

I did get some notes right... and i guess i had a baritone helping me too.


“I, Bass” sounds a little more distinguished, eh?


I see your point...

but what little i know of crossword solving is topreserve tense, so i bass, would ...
