Very nice!!!

PM sent

Exact one I've been looking for, but this was a little too steep for me.

The story also said,

Conn Selmer sent 19 News a statement after our story aired, saying they haven’t made a final decision yet.
…
The announcement was made on the first day of contract negotiations between the UAW and Conn Selmer, Kalman stated.


So maybe some of it is posturing by Conn ...

I found another article with more specifics on the China manufacturing plan:

Today, Conn Selmer announced a tentative decision to close its Eastlake, Ohio manufacturing plant on or about June 30, 2026. This proposed action is subject to negotiation with the union representing Conn Selmer’s hourly ...

I once bought a Mirafone 186 on eBay, and the seller dropped it off at a UPS store (and they did the "packing"). Arrived in a box with ZERO packing material. Bell was mangled and the fourth rotor no longer worked. Was repairable, but I took pictures immediately upon opening...seller was great and ...

I have a Weltklang (B&S stencil) 3-rotor tenorhorn for sale. If interested let me know and I can send you pics and additional information.

I use a Protec 18" for mine. At first it seemed a little small (one area where the zipper was "snug"), but over time it has molded to my tuba pretty well. Good budget bag.

WOOOOOOOOO, let's GOOOOOOOOOOO! This is the #1 festival I want to attend in-person sometime in my life.

Thank you, all!

But it "sounds good" in Finale

The message currently on TubeNet occurs when an admin goes into the control panel and personally deactivates the board. I'm assuming this means he's working on it. If it's a software issue it'll be up and running quickly I would assume. If it's a database issue that would be quite bad...

Maybe they'll do $675 without? :)

I'm not 100% certain, but I believe these may have belonged to Joel Blahnik. He lived in Door County and was the resident expert on Czech music. Joel passed away earlier this year.

I do not own it. However, I do know two organizations in my area (one college music program and one community band) who own it and I could point you in the direction of. Note: I do not have any authority to loan anything out, I would merely be "making the introduction." Let me know if you don't have ...

I know this seller and can vouch for him (reputable and honest).

I was actually suspecting a hornist when I was checking out the website...nearly 90k in horns for sale!

A few for me:

I sold an Olds O-99-4 that I loved...wish I had kept it.

Had a great Reunion Blues (black leather - LA) trombone gig bag I wish I had kept.

Tried a spectacular King 2B+ Silversonic trombone at a conference...that thing had ZING...should have bought it on the spot. Others I've played ...

I also have it if things fall through.

This is going to seem rather controversial, but both of these horns play better than a 186.

The 534 feels like the prototype 2341 I played in the late 90's in Eastlake, which at the time was the best BBb tuba I had ever played, and the 562 reminds me of the miraphone hagen 496, but slightly ...
