That was for concert... our county doesn't have the most money, so we don't have concert uniforms. There is only one school in the county that does.Davy wrote:marching with "up-right" tubas? yikes!
I figured you would be more shocked that they were marching with the string bass.Davy wrote:marching with "up-right" tubas? yikes!
Exactly what I thought, haha. But yeah as I explained, that was us waiting for a concert, we don't have concert uniforms, most of the schools in this county don't.Tubaryan12 wrote:I figured you be most shocked that they were marching with the string bass.Davy wrote:marching with "up-right" tubas? yikes!

Don't mess with the receiver, buy a Euro shank mouthpiece. The Rudy doesn't actually have a receiver. What you see that looks like a receiver is actually a tube soldered over the end of the lead pipe. A receiver would attach to the *end* of the lead pipe. The mouthpiece actually sits in the end of the lead pipe in a RM tuba. To install an AGR, you would have to cut the end off the leadpipe (!) so it would not be reversible.Tuba-G Bass wrote:

I think it was a Floor/demo model, they said it was never owned before.

I should have seen this coming, I put my G&W Bayamo in the receiver, it went in pretty far,
my Bach Megatone 7's shank almost vanishes, Yep, a Euro receiver
I think a visit to Dillons for a adjustable receiver is in order, or do I buy some Euro shank mpcs?
Yes, I see what you are talking about, glad I asked before modifying the horn, once again,cjk wrote:

Hi Tuba-G BassHi Gerard,
In my TubeNet research [oh what a great source of Tuba knowledge! Thanks TNFJ!]
I read that a player had a nice new 1291 BBb 5 valve just like I was saving up for, and once he
tried a Rudi 5/4 BBb, he bought it and put the 1291 on consignment.
Plus a couple of highly respected tuba players, who get to kick the tires of all sorts of quality horns, own Rudi's
I will not name names, a search will reveal them, I had a chance to pick up a older pre-Bayreuth model for less than the 1291 BBb 5 banger is going for, plus hey, it seems to be a real insider's horn, there are very few dealers in North America, the company is a small shop,
he prefers to concentrate on quality rather than quantity.
You could travel to Pennsylvania and try mine if you like

The Rudi compared to my M&M BBb, wanna buy a M&M cheap?

at least Tubas are not like Trombones, there's Tenor, Remington, and Bass shank sizes
It sounds massive by the way, and it's easy to get rolling, I was SO set on getting a Miraphone 1291BBb 4p1rv,
then I did research on the Tubenet, the Rudi's started sounding like a better horn, the bore getting bigger sooner, and the distinctive flair of the bell, and the bugle wrap seem to make a better horn, IMHO.
Oh, its going to be a great concert season
