Shadow_7 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 (edited) For the G Euph, most partials aren't too bad. But I like having it centered to compensate for chordage. Flatten major thirds, sharpen minor thirds. And the high C partial is hideous about being ultra flat along with all of it's alternate fingering cousins. Pretty much an all the way out to all the way in adjustment on that partial. And then there's the cool down factor, larger horns cool down more than smaller ones and thus become more flat before taking the field. Not that walking 10-30 minutes from warmups to field helps, plus 15 minutes in the near field cue. Not really much of an issue in the summer down in Texas, but when at DCA in NY.......

HornsUp Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Intonation is always relative, never absolute. So a good player in a good ensemble is constantly adjusting, usually subconsciously. I prefer to play models of G baritones that don't need a slide mechanism to acheive harmonically pure tuning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanstul says that the tune-any-note feature was built into their horns at the request of Wayne Downey when the Blue Devils played Kanstul.

skluyuk Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 So I just received a Kanstul bari. It has the tune any note feature in the left hand. Is it supposed to have a spring on it? This one doesn't. Also, if not, should the slide be all the way in? What a stupid question Dave! :P <Short thread diversion...sorry all.> Hey all of your low brass hornline students from Simons Middle School are doing the TubaChristmas thing down at Disney. We are going to be rehearsing this Sunday from 1PM to 4PM and have a get together afterwards. Now that you have a bari you're in!! Shoot me a PM and I'll give you the details.

JimF-LowBari Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 (edited) Jeez, this has gotten complicated over the years. First it was move the arm to here... here... here... (repeat four more heres) to learn trombone. Then it was marking 0, 1, 2, X (for both) to teach myself piston/rotor. Then it was first valve = right thumb, second valve = left thumb. THEN it was this third valve thingee and there ain't even a friggin' thumb for THAT.... Now ya gotta move a ####### slide on certain 1st valve notes. Slide and valve at the same #### time?!?!?!?!?! What kinda crap is this!!!! I work with Unix computers (program, set up, database work) but this crap's somethin' else. :P ^0^ B) Edited November 16, 2007 by JimF-3rdBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
