84BDsop Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Except for me, who insists on playing my 2 valve King ^0^ ^0^ Me to....last year at least. This year I may be moving to a Kanstul 3 valve just to minimize the intonation differances...but if it's a chouice between the King 2 valve and a DEG 3 valve....it'll be the King!

TexasBari05 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 if I am right I think revolution is using G bugles.........we use G bugles too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regularsopguy Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 That sounds about right.Yamaha and Dy "nasty" are trying thier best to get everyone converted. I predict in the next 5 years that DCA corps will follow the trend of DCI and convert over to B flat. Yamaha sweetens the deal with drums, amps, etc. (one stop shop) :) Dy-nasty has financing available (whoopeee...crummy horns AND interest!) Too bad King and Kanstul, the former leaders in marching brass, aren't more aggressive with financing, etc. B) Unfortunately, G is dying a slow and painful death. Too bad cause it sounds better (intonation notwithstanding) b**bs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffreelancer Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 SoCal Dream in the Sr ranks. Renegades also. River City Regiment wen Bb last year... RCR is playing on all new G Dynasty horns except our contras are Bb. It was going to take an extra six months for Dynasty to make the G contras and we probably would not have had them for last season. We have no plans to go Bb...ever.

White Sabers are on G bugles with no plans to change. It is supposed to be drum and BUGLE corps right? Bologna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could've sworn you guys went with a new Bb line last year....glad to be proven wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regularsopguy Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Really? I could've sworn you guys went with a new Bb line last year....glad to be proven wrong! I thought that RCR started on Bb instruments (first year, just starting out, using band instruments) and later purchased G bugles. Maybe that's it?

Shadow_7 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I think all Texas corps are on G horns, except for Austin Stars which is starting out on Bb's. With some talk of eventually buying G's. With all of these Kingsman alumni, Madison alumni, and other start ups, it's hard to find quality used G horns for a new corps. And now that I have a Bb Deg Euph, I can honestly say it's intonation tendancies seem much better than the G version. Upon first impressions anyway, I'll need to eventually sit down with a tuner to verify. It's just so odd playing in Bb after nearly a decade of NOT playing in Bb. At least I wont have to transpose the tuba christmas music next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamarag Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Carolina Gold is still in G. As for the Dynasty Bb horns, from my experience with them at Reading last year I am incredibly happy with thier design and sound. The "Dynasty Bashing" is unfounded. If I was equipping a corps with Bb horns, I'd go with Dynasty over any other manufacturer right now. They are the most onsistant from top to bottom.
