Wessex dolce or Sinfonico?
@bryanonbrass683323 күн бұрын
I've only played on the Wessex Sinfonico once, so I can't really comment on how I feel about that horn compared to this one, but I will say it's pretty unfair to compare it to a Besson. The Besson Sovereign I feel is the classic European sounding Euphonium and is an absolute joy to play on because of how free flowing it feels. The Sterling isn't no-where near as free flowing and light feeling like the Sovereign but neither is the Wilson or the Yamaha Neo. These horns are in completely different brackets ($4,200 vs $9,000+) so the Besson comparison would be better suited for a Yamaha Neo/Custom, Adams E1-E3 or a Wilson. For a Mid-tier budget horn, It definitely plays well within it's punching weight.

I personally don't think it fits. The Bellfronts allowed us to blend with Trombones as needed, really push out some volume when needed but also allowed us to have such a delicate and nuanced sound when it came to concert selections. I think some of that lightness goes away with the Marching Euphonium.

I had one of these. Big sound and built like a tank. The valves weren't really clunky sound wise but couldn't compare to my Besson in speed. Higher range was awesome, all the way to treble double G, using matched mouthpiece.

@mr.starfish496511 ай бұрын
? Blessing doesn’t even make that marching baritone anymore (they make Yamaha clones now instead of Olds clones). He was simply reviewing each instrument based off each instrument’s merits. Yamaha probably has the best currently existing range of marching instruments (including their baritone), but that’s not saying much. Most marching instruments are not made that well.

The Bach is an Olds design that they produced using their tooling. The Blessing is an original design, but smaller-bore than the Bach (.560") and the Yamaha (.571"). The Bach was produced until the 1990s, when they switched to Yamaha low brass.

When I matched Baritone with the Madison Scouts in the 80's we would crunch up the horns all too often because of the difficulty of the drill. Even a small crease in the bell would cause a significant decrease in the projection of the horn and make it difficult to maintain any tone quality at higher volume levels. Big dents in the main tube also caused smooth flow issues at larger air volumes. Your Blessing had both a badly crumpled bell and huge dents in the last bend of the main tube leading to the bell section. The fact that it played as well as it did with these handicaps is a testiment to just how good that horn really was. We got pretty good at rolling out dents with drumsticks and wooden rolling pins and whatever else we could scrounge up. It didn't have to be pretty, it just had to be unkinked to make a huge difference.

For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment; (2peter2:4) - Because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead. (Acts17:31) For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. (John 3:16-17) Jesus loves you, he’s waiting for you to repent and put your faith and trust in Him :) Hope you have a good day
