I’m still very annoyed about all state this year. I definitely could have made it but I got lazy and didn’t start practicing until August. At least I made all county

Thanks for the detailed review! Just pulled the trigger and ordered a Cronkhite bag for my Shires Q40 euphonium!

Didn’t know this was a thing I don’t play brass, but this is definitely useful for vocals too

Qué medida es, y lo puedo usar para un trombón bajo??

I think I’m a bit late but I’m switching from tuba to baritone because I don’t like holding the tuba

Do you have any videos for advanced players on how to methodically identify the tendencies of your particular horn and how to adjust each slide given the trade offs that we have to make for different partials?

Started as a mature learner 7 years ago. Always on a 4 valve euphonium. I suggest students take the challenge to aim to play chromatic scales over 3+ octaves. "How many Bb (C treble) pitches can you hit?" Use a tuner whenever playing scales to check intonation /pitch. Can't be done without using a 4th valve! Started doubling on a 3 valve baritone (brass band) and find the absence of 4th valve frustrating.

I love the fullness of each of the sixteenths in the beginning, especially. You sound great! Such attention to details

My 165 out of the case, valves stuck I had to sent away to serviced, the slide falls out and the finish stretches easily. I still have valve issues, not impressed with horn.

I like your comment about not over practicing as I tend to snowball into desires for excellence and I push and burn myself out so much that I don’t enjoy music the same. It is supposed to be a fun memory not another painful class 😂

Beautiful ❤❤❤

Seriously, it's a nice invention, but the price difference is insane. Like I got one for 6,- on Amazon, the cheapest PETE is 46,- and go up to 120 (gold plated)! The only thing I did was add a little rubber pad on both ends with superglue. Feels nicer against your teeth instead of metal (pete doesn't have this either). The rubber rings don't matter that much. It's not like your going to put massive amounts of force on too, besides it's nicer to pull from the end instead of the middle anyways. If it's that much of an issue a drop of superglue would fix the problem. Instead of being afraid to lose them, I just bought 3 cheap ones and put them everywhere I train. I think I might buy the official one if it was more around 20,-

This is lovely ❤❤❤

Too sweet 🥺😩😭 God Bless you for this 🥺❤

That moan was personal😭

I just want to say thank you. If it wasn't for you, I feel as if i would never have made it all state last year. (9-10 Honor Band, Principle Euphonium Player) Again thank you.

Hi, do you need to put the silver polish on as I do not have any or is it a option

You helped me alot last year too

Hey, can you please play the middle school tuba etudes please.

First day playing after a long break: after a good time warming up "Ha ha, I still got it! I sound amazing!" Practices for 1 hour until chops are thoroughly exhausted. The next day: picks up instrument. Tone is shakey, notes are shaking, articulation is sloppy, and chops are dead within a half hour. "Eh, what happened? 😢"

try whistling this on the way home

I like the lighting in the intro👍 And yay! You wore your fun Florida shirt.

Love the side burns, crushed it!

Thanks bud. It was nice catching up.

17:50 Didn't know you were a brother! Very cool seeing brothers out in the wild. OASAASLLS

Anyway you could show more of the symphonic Euphonium lyrical?

Why no fokus om Basstrombone

I purchased a set for my Shires (that didn’t fit, even though they said it would…), but then when I switched back to Besson they ended up fitting that! I also have been playing with 1 standard weight and found that to be the best setup for how it feels to play and how it sounds out in the hall. I had a student describe the sound differences with and without it and they described it like a TV that’s in 1080p going up to 4k resolution.

I have one on my Besson Sovereign and it certainly makes a difference.

Nice review! You're really good at explaining things in detail. I guess doctors are just naturals.

I like this thing. I’ve been using it for about 4 or so months, and found that defining clarity is easier. I also felt like it helps me play a little better in tune. It might just me starting to get better at hearing pitch, but when I first got my Besson, everything was REALLY sharp. When I bought this it was slightly less so. Not sure. I took it off today to see what it sounds like, and for whatever reason I feel better in the lower (F below the staff to pedal B flat) but worse in the higher range. (Any higher than F above the staff). I definitely play more in the latter, so I think I’ll stick with it. Might try with less weight, I’ve always had the whole thing on. My issue is the dang thing is stuck!

You know, I never really thought about why 4th seems stuffier than other valves, but that makes a lot of sense. It sounds like, to me, that each plate just adds a bit more clarity to the 4th valve notes. Did you feel like adding more weight than just one plate was too open or you just feel like 1 plate was the sound you wanted? How did you solidify only one plate?

Trombone better

Go Aaron! かっこいい！！

Compositor???

Gosh! What a beautiful and clear sound!! Very well done ❤

What a Great sound!! Thank you for beautiful music!!

I just played this at state solo and ensemble, fun piece

Very nice! Congrats on the excellent performance 🎉 🔥

Bravo! Hope I can make it to the next one.

I've always thought jazzy swing style euph pieces or movements are just beautiful. It brings out the character of the instrument so well.

My school had this in the musical this year! I was on a Tuba/Tbone part!

Does the pitch remain the same?
