Why not another thread about bigger horns ?

Not sure it's the good place for this thread? Anyway let's go:
I know a lot of people on this board also play alto/tenor horn, euphonium, and so on...
So do I (Yamaha alto):

When I bought my Olds Studio trombone, I had expected there to be some form of counterweight, like a weighted tuning slide brace. No such luck. The tuning slide appears to have been replaced, so maybe the original had this feature. I found an Ambassador counterweight, which I installed, and it does an adequate job.

I spend most of my time playing french horn. Or as we like to call it, horn. Does that qualify as a bigger horn?
As for why there isn't another thread, possibly because players of other horns don't spend all their time talking about it online?

Hello,
my low horns:
1- a Jupiter Bb valve tenor trombone, played with a Bach 22C mouthpiece:
2- a Dimavery F alto valve trombone played with a Schilke 40B mouthpiece:
and both:
Two cheap horns that play well enough for an occasional doubler like me.

This is what I play in my small jazz group. Every time I bring it out, people come up and ask what it is. No one has ever guessed right.

Reminds me of my Blessing marching trombone, just a little bit bigger!

@Richard-III Is that a king 1122 marching french horn? I played on a conn 134e during marching season when not on cornet. I always had trouble with the lyre holder's placement, do you have that problem?

Well, you named the horn. Yes it is. I never marched with it so have never tried it with a lyre. In my day, back in the early 70's, our mellophones were two valve things in G. If I remember correctly. And we had everything memorized. Drum and Bugle Corps. The corps, now defunct was the Knight Raiders.

You missed the valve-rotor days. Some day imma buy me a v-r mello, just because. Most fun horn to play, ever.

@Richard-III From what remember, I think my set screw on the lyre holder itself was the problem, we also had our music memorized so we didn't use lyres. Because of the placement of the holder on the leadpipe, combining that jutting out and a knurled screw further jutting out equaled havoc to my palm. I would love to get a kanstul g bugle or maybe a DEG, I was just born too late to play on them. I did play when the Conn 134e was new though, in 1991 they replaced the older circular marching french horns in my high school, I remember that new case smell.
