Sierra Brass Quintet

Post by highsierra »

Check out our newly released album on most of the streaming services...I played all of the tunes on my Miraphone 283 (Norwegian Star) for those Eb'ers who are interested...Here is a link to the album on YouTube:

Sounds really nice on the Star. How does it play as compared to say the 'former(?)' Willson 3400? Your former Besson 983 is doing just fine in the situations I need it for. Don't utilize it for symphony though....I couldn't get a big enough sound from it. My problem, not the horn. Hence, quit symphony and rejoined a British Brass Band in which the 983 works perfectly. Cheers!

The Wilson is a wonderful instrument! I have been using it for teaching, quintet , pit orchestra and some of the modern orchestral peces we have been playing...(a very nice all around tuba). The NS is also a wonderful instrument...I would have a hard time trying to decide which tuba to give up if I had to make that decision....They both have their own unique qualities....I'll keep playing both for now.....!

I've been giving this album a lot of plays on Apple Music- listening right now as I finish up work at the office. Well done Russ!
