Robert M Estall 400 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) Once upon a time I played a Euphonium very badly. The main part looks like one of those (like a half sized Tuba) but the rest is made from odd parts of other instruments. The valve paddles look like from a French Horn; there are 4 of them. Most brass instruments only have three The best part of being in the band was we wore rather smart red hats rather than the drab rigs of the rest of the cadets and we could move about a bit rather than the rest of the parade who had a tendency to pass out from the heat That was Canada in about 1960. Only boys! We all hated it, but the highschool received a hefty grant they couldn't resist Edited July 27, 2020 by Robert M Estall Link to post Share on other sites
geogphotos 3,887 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Who or what is Kirn Vintage Stock. I found a dead website: http://www.kirnvintagestockphotos.com/ I see plenty of images on other stock sites and POD sites. I would love to know more about this collection and where the images come from. Link to post Share on other sites
wiskerke 3,585 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Ah the Cimbasso! That's a coincidence! I happened to see one last night in a symphony orchestra on TV and had to look it up. It's a sort of trombone. wim 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Robert M Estall 400 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Aha! so it's a real thing not just a one-off lashup. Interesting to see how many trombone variations there have been. My Euphonium shared the same mouthpiece with the trombone and could hit pretty well all the same notes, but couldn't produce the same effect Link to post Share on other sites
