Members soundministries Posted October 12, 2007 Members Share Posted October 12, 2007 But, the one who dies with the most toys, wins. I'm catching up. Just ordered an Eb sousaphone of ebay. Should have it sometime next week. Having it shipped to the school so the wife doesn't find out yet:cry:. As long as I have my office to keep things in she'll never find out just how many I have:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkZ Posted October 12, 2007 Members Share Posted October 12, 2007 I'm catching up. You still have work to do. When you get your Eb sousaphone, the brass instrument box score will read: Mark 8 (not counting the school's tuba) SM 5 The game is far from over, though. May I suggest that you need one of these, though it's often played by a horn player due to the mouthpiece shape and left hand valve cluster: http://www.osmun.com/prod/Alex/Alex_wagner_tuba.htm http://www.osmun.com/prod/Schmid/schmid_wagner_tubas.htm http://www.osmun.com/prod/Hoyer/hoyer_wagner_tubas.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still hope to get my hands on an Eb helicon and a contra bass bugle. Eventually I'll find those at the right time and the right place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jim Clark Posted October 12, 2007 Members Share Posted October 12, 2007 I didn’t post earlier because I own a lot of instruments…I originally broke them down into two categories, those I play regularly and those I don’t.I decided to post a list of only the wind instruments I own and play regularly: SaxesSoprano – WhitehallAlto – Selmer SA 80 Series II. Tenor – Selmer Mark VIBaritone – Selmer Mark VI FlutesC flutes – Muramatsu, EmersonAlto Flute – ArtleyPiccolo – JupiterPenny whistles - Susato BrassTrumpets – Yamaha Xeno, Olds AmbassadorFlugelhorn – Jupiter Bass Trumpet – Schill You can hear most of these on my site, with the exception of the penny whistles, piccolo and bass trumpet, which is my most recent purchase.

Members IndofunkCity Posted October 13, 2007 Members Share Posted October 13, 2007 Oh, weird, I just noticed that even though I did post once in this thread, I didn't actually list my horns. I'll do what Jim originally wanted to do: Regularly played 2 Conn Connstellations (a 1966 and a 1967 ... yes, I play them BOTH regularly, I rotate them ) Holton Firebird Not regularly played Jupiter slide trumpet Bach 37 (retired to my parents' house) Holton superbone I thought I had another trumpet, but I guess not.

Members sunburstbasser Posted October 13, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 13, 2007 But of course Excellent. I've been bitten by the Connie bug lately. Wish I could afford one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IndofunkCity Posted October 13, 2007 Members Share Posted October 13, 2007 Excellent. I've been bitten by the Connie bug lately. Wish I could afford one. Haven't checked evilbay recently, but they used to be under $500 fairly often. A friend of mine got a '50's Connstellation that plays even better than mine for a little over $300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Uncle Bastard Posted November 6, 2007 Members Share Posted November 6, 2007 I've had my Bach for 17 years, and at £3500 ($7000ish) for a new equivalent it's likely remain my only trombone, unless I win the lottery and can afford an Edwards B454 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pjmburg Posted November 9, 2007 Members Share Posted November 9, 2007 I'm still a high school student, so the only horns my collective family actually owns are a Yamaha student trumpet (don't know the model) that we actually finished the rent-to-own on and a plastic Yamaha clarinet that my 6th grade sister plays.We usually have at our house a Conn 5J tuba that I play, a Yamaha removable-bell double horn for my sister that I play occasionally, and a Dynasty mellophone during marching season, also for my sister. We also have an ancient 3-valve Conn tuba in horrible condition with a removable recording-bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A recording bell tuba is a standard tuba, in the lap. I know what a Sousaphone is; I thought the "marching tuba" was the one that sits on your shoulder (like what you see at DCI, and yes, they're tubas now, not bugles) I didn't know there were lap-mounted tubas that had front facing bells, that's pretty cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soundministries Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 A marching tuba is a shoulder carry horn and are also known as a contra horn. Some contras are made convertable with different leadpipes for marching and for concert use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
