For kicks, although I've already posted in this thread... Another picture with the PT-5 and my surprisingly great Squier M-77 in the background.

http://gallery.me.com/dbergrude#100155/ ... olor=black Here I am with my pep band at the ND class B state basketball tournament. I normally play trombone with the kids as that's where the band was most lacking but I just have to pick up a tuba (or in this case a sousaphone) when we played "Hey Baby." They did me proud playing at the tournament yesterday.

me and my harvophone...

I used it for the first time Friday night on a Mardi Gras party gig and it worked well. I received positive comments about the sound as well as the look. I use a clip on mic and run it through a sound system for the NOLA second line band I play in and it sounded great (IMHO). We are playing another gig on Tuesday and I want to take my camera along to get some action shots. It is a 1919 Buescher which has been reassembled so I can play standing with out having to hold the horn. It has an extended Stewart Stand so I can raise it high enough. I don't normally use a Kelly piece with it, that was one Harv had laying around in his shop for the day when I was trying it out. I use a Blokepiece Symphony and it sounds like butta....

I have e-mailed Miraphone for the date of this instrument.

I cannot avoid asking: Which instrument is the redhead between you and the bass boy playing?

She was the college student I brought in to help out the band that day playing sousaphone. However, I just had to snag the sousa and play with my kids on "Hey Baby" and take a trombone break. She was just standing there enjoying the music.

Might as well chime in here. Pictured are my "Minickized" Conn 20J with Meinl-Weston rotary valve cluster (crystal clear Kellyberg), 2003 Gerhard Baier BEP-650 4-valve compensating euphonium (Wick SM3), 1979 Besson "New Standard" 4-valve compensating euphonium (Schilke 52D), and 1919 Conn Eb alto (original Conn 1). And it would start raining just as we're setting up for the picture! Just another lovely day in our southern Oregon coast paradise.

Check the "6/4 feedback" topic toward the bottom of the first page. There are also a couple of posts with additional information about it.

Can you post pictures of the front and back of that thing?

normrowe · Post by **normrowe** » Tue Mar 29, 2011 2:38 am

I'll try to get some more up soon.

There have been 20J conversions to bell-ups, where the bell knee has been taken out and a funnel with a straight line profile has been inserted between the collar and the bell flare. One sample had a dodecagonal (or whatever number of edges) brass paper bin as the insert.

This present sample rather looks like Larry Minick made a whole new stack going all the way from the bottom bow ferrule to the flare. Is that the case?
