I've always loved those horns. They are extremely stylish.

I believe that Courtois makes a flugelhorn specifically for Sergei Nakariakov with a trombone-sized bell and a 4th valve.

I see you play an F1. That means a lot.

I actually traded that to a friend but it’s a great horn.

I really like the Adams flugelhorns. They play super well. I would recommend that one.

Went to a good concert last night. It was Mahler Symphony No. 3, conducted by Zubin Mehta and performed by the LA Philharmonic. I've never been to an LA Philharmonic concert. I was impressed by the "intimacy" of the concert hall and the orchestra was just top-notch. I can't imagine a better rendition of Mahler 3.

Does the moon really rise? I've never used that phrase.

I can hardly pronounce the title, but I really like this video.

@flugelgirl said in Carol Brass Sticky Valves:

@orly61 You should really contact the dealer about these issues. I would suspect that your valves may be dragging because of hand placement - new valves with close tolerances do not like to be hit sideways. Check your pistons for any spots where they have rubbed, and that should tell you where your hand position strays. If your horn has a buzz that it shouldn’t, that is a sure sign of a warranty repair or replacement. That could signify anything from a valve spring to a leak or even a broken bell bead, and should be handled under warranty.

This is the advice I would offer. Better than random people on the internet.

My guess, with a Master's Degree from Rice, he would probably be able to get into just about any band he wants to get into. Rice is one of the top music schools in the nation. However, getting into the military requires more than just musicianship. I hope he has a super clean record and can pass the PT requirements.

That's a cool horn, glad you got it sold.
