Sold!!!!

Sale pending.

If you have easy access to the show/episode in question, it should be in the end credits.

Hello TB community!

This beauty of a custom flugelhorn is still available for purchase.

For anyone that is looking for a unique, world class instrument…this is a great way to get one without a long wait and for substantially less money than a brand new horn.

Feel free to reach out to me or Omaits music with any questions. The horn is listed through Omaits (see link in my first post).

Happy playing!

Still available!

That’s where this post is!

Hello all,

The time has come for me to sell my beloved, custom made, Schlub flugelhorn.

I won’t go into the details, but this horn just doesn’t get the play time it deserves…so it’s time to go to a new owner.

Here is the link to the listing (on consignment at Omaits music in Ohio). Feel free to reach out to me or Omaits with any questions.

@Newell-Post said in I'm desperate and at a lost with reactions to metal mouthpieces.:

@tmd He didn't say he's not allergic to silver or brass. (Sorry for the double negative.)

This was my immediate reaction (pun intended).

The vast majority of instrument mouthpieces have silver plating. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe gold plated mouthpieces are silver plated first...???

My first suspect would be silver, closely followed by brass.

Neither. The kids give their guns to a guy who in turn gives them a trumpet.

The guy then gives the guns to the police.

Such an elegant look. I really like the “serpentine” braces.

We want pictures!

We could sit here talking about a former/banned member all day...but what is the point? Gossip? Trash talk? I would hope we’re better than that.

I suggest we move on to conversation and topics that are actually interesting and worthwhile!

I really like the fourth one from the top!

Looks great as is and would look awesome in a sharp contrast black at white.

With the above said, I might add, Barliman has been doing a fine job of policing as well.

Barliman and Kujo are very capable as is our administrator. I think we have a good team and am happy with this. Perhaps having Leadership meetings on a regular basis may help distribute the load and minimize the burden, which again argues to adding another mediator. Team work always wins.

I recently removed myself as a moderator. I no longer check the site on a frequent basis (life is busy right now!)...so it just didn’t make sense to be a moderator. Somebody more active on the site will be a better fit.

Purpleheart? That is some seriously hard, dense wood!

Dillon Music in New Jersey...

Add that to the US list.

I’ve been a hobby woodworker for about 8 years. Lots of small items, restoration work on antiques, and slowly working my way to making tables.

Like many hobbyists...we can be very strongly opinionated when it comes to materials, tools, methods, and finishes.

For example, here are one of my opinions.

Painting wood should be punishable by law...specifically jail time. Painting quality hardwood would be a life sentence.

What projects are you planning?

@stumac said in The One:

This one will be the last horn I will, after assembly ready for final polishing and lacquering.

Regards, Stuart.

Definitely looking forward to hearing more about this one. I haven’t heard any first hand reviews about this builders horns.

I haven’t seen the movie, but that picture is definitely Ethan Hawke.

Apparently his family has made some of the archived recordings available for free!

Give a listen if you’re interested. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!
