Give it back and ask him to sort it out!!!!!

Fidbone

When you guys mention Michael Rath it's worth noting that apart from Mick there are others there that will do an equally GREAT job....... Tom Wellings is awesome and even if Mick is otherwise engaged the others will take over. Tom does most of it anyway

Fidbone

I'd say anything over a 15-20 minute warm up becomes a practice session.

3 Months later....... It's a keeper

Wonderful playing

Fidbone

Amazing.......... Love how Trevor is channeling his inner Gary Valente

Fidbone

Suggestion: After COVID dissipates, fly here from Germany, pick up a trombone, and carry it home with you. All for far less than €10,000, including air fare and some nice meals! Better still, find me a fantastic Williams 6 and send it to me in the UK and I'll send you a customised Rath R1 from the ...

Fidbone

Not sure this is the correct place to post but they are instruments and I don't think anyone will buy them on this forum :eek: Possibly the MOST expensive Williams trombones I've ever seen....... Crazy :idk: https://elbblech.com/product/earl-williams-los-angeles-6/ https://elbblech.com/product/earl-...

Alistair White can blow 10 bells out of his Silver-plated King 3B AND still be musical!!!!

Great player.
What is his equipment? Mouthpiece ?
I think he moved from Yamaha to XO .500 bore.

Hey fellas,
I appreciated all your answers and suggestions.
As I mentioned , I love the rim shape / feel, weight and cup of the Bach 11C. If only I could have that same rim in 25.00mm with an open throat as my DE piece.

Gregs 9C fits exactly what you describe........

Fidbone

What's the specs of the 9C? Inner rim, BackBore and Throat? I tried out GB 7C was a nice piece soundwise but rim shape felt a little sharp and smaller than my Bach 11C because of the contour I think. I wonder how this new 9C feels and play? I am on a Doug Elliot ST99 for a while and love it so far....

Fidbone

Fidbone

Greg Black 9C
He's also done a reproduction of a mpc he made for JJ that looks interesting!
Also the Reeves 11C is nice.

Fidbone

Astounded that nobody has commented on this performance yet

Has anyone actually watched it?????

For your listening/watching pleasure.

As I've written in another topic Greg Black now makes a 9C which is bang in the middle of the 7C and 11C.

Fidbone your enthusiasm for new equipment is nothing short of inspiring. Keep doing the Lord’s work man!

Not sure how to take this but thanks anyway

Fidbone

Can you describe the rim contour or show an image of the 9c contour? I found his 7c to really bite into my chops. I've never liked a 7C contour in any make. The 9C is very comfortable for me. I had surgery to remove a cyst just above my top front teeth which changed my whole set up. So it needs to ...

Fidbone

Greg sent the following...............

"It came about from guys feeling the 11C was too snug... needing a little more room but not as big as my 7..

The rim contours are very different between the 7 & 11"

Also this was for Nicks Mouthpiece............

Fidbone

Interesting! I had Greg build me a 9C based off two Mt Vernon models I loved. Wonder if this is close! If so, it should be a great, great piece. Hmm, Interesting :-) Is that maybe what this 9C has come out of Nick? I'm loving it :pant: Greg says it's nothing to do with your mpc Nick! Different........

Greg Black 9C

New model..... Fantastic piece which falls somewhere between a 7C and 11C

Fidbone

I'm playing one of Greg Black's newest model small bore mouthpieces a 9C

Absolutely loving it as it seems to be what I've been hankering for all my life!
For anyone who wants a mouthpiece which is bang in the middle of a 7C/11C this is definitely the one for you

Love it

I don’t know much about the difference in weight of the standard small bore Bach slides to their LT counterparts. Would you consider the standard weight slide to be overly heavy?

No, they are well balanced instruments.

Fidbone

Gordon plays a gold brass relatively "New" 6 with a nickel slide. When I say new I mean 20-30 years old! Also some of the stays have been filled for a bit more weight and stability. He may have a couple of older bells too, but always uses his nickel slide. Andy Wood plays older Bach 6 trombones, I b...

Fidbone

As I am a Rath employee you would think I would have bias

However I have checked and set up many 400's and they are very consistent.
I have played far worse "Pro" horns!
I'd say the 400 would be a great choice for you especially if you are wanting a NEW affordable Instrument.

Fidbone

Rath small bores are all Nickel unless you special order!

Years ago I got Mick Rath to build me a slide with a yellow brass upper outer and red brass lower outer ..... thought I would get the best of both worlds....ended up with the worst. I wouldn't bother.

Chris

Bad choice

Fidbone

Inderbinen do that on their trombones.
I used to have a custom Rath R1 with Nickel upper/yellow brass lower.
Both of those horns are dual bore.
I found both to work very well.

Not sure about straight bore though!

Fidbone

I have both, they are both phenomenal horns. My 3B is early 70's and was the first horn I ever purchased new from my paper round money. The Yammy has the edge though just because it's mechanically perfect and has no quirks especially with the NY lead pipe!!! You can't go wrong with either but it mig...

Fidbone

Do you have any breathing problems like Asthma or allergies? Could you be "Over-breathing"? ie taking in too much air for a phrase? Are you expending your air on particular phrases too quickly? What horn are you playing? Is the lead pipe too open? Is your mouthpiece too large/open? If not try what D...

Fidbone

FWIW There's a reason why the well known makers make the common bore sizes they do. Because they work!!!! :clever: :biggrin: Judging by the responses in this thread, the BVL .512 works just fine. King made the 1485 Symphony with a .536 bore and that worked, and Reynolds made trombones in .515 and ....

Bart played for many years on a King 3B Silversonic until K&H developed their model with him. I've played/tried the .480/488 and .500 in the past and thought the .500 was a fantastic instrument. I've not tried the newer models with the funny counterweights though but I can imagine they are an improv...

The beauty of choice and the chance to change parts means that "most" folk will find a combination they will love, but one needs time and patience. Something like a standard 88H is a combination of parts that "generally" work well and that's why they've been popular for many years. Choosing a combin...

Single radius bows with a tuning slide brace.....was he aiming to target the American symphonic market by any chance? Nah....he'll sell it to anyone....

Michael Rath has been developing the new R6 large bore (.547”) Bb/F trombone over the last two years. He set out with the concept of designing an instrument that meets the needs of the modern player and one that enhances the successful range of Rath trombones. The R6 is the first model to feature th...

Fidbone

Hmmm?!? Not seeing much on the Internet about the new R6F model. I will definitely be interested to see and play them in the next couple of years. That's because there isn't much on the internet about the new R6F model. Still early days, I've tested it and can say it will be a big seller........ Lo...

Why don't you just say it belonged to Bob?......

I used to own/play Nils Landgren's LT12G the horn he played before he went over to the Red Yammy.
Fantastic instrument and I regret selling it on 18 years ago!!......
