need brass band geek advice
MrMonk:
Though brass instruments are pretty good, too. I played baritone and tuba in high school and college. But once you've learned one instrument well, with good technique, you can play most of the others without shaming yourself.
I'll go along with some of the other posters and suggest that you start with a trumpet or cornet. Something in the alto range might also be good, but a suitable instrument might be harder to find than a trumpet.
doombilly:
Well we will have to see what 2009 has in store for illicitizen. Changed a song into 12/8 time last night. Time to drop the drummer and stick with the sequenced rhythms -and buy some more crazy instruments. I can get a horn for about $200, I guess you buy the mouthpieces separately? So, maybe in a few months. You guys have any advice on brands of trumpets NOT to buy?
IronOxide:
Not a Schiller, not a Tristar, probably not a Blessing, but it depends on what you can find.
But honestly, there is a tits-off insane price at wwbw on this Besson, and while they are very much a euphonium maker, I imagine they could not fuck it up too badly, and wwbw has a rather liberal return policy, so if you were looking at dropping a couple hundo, I would call this a good find.
If you're looking for a better deal though, you're going to have to take what you can get.
