    The projection problem on the blessing might be because of the crushed bell

      Looks like some band member in low brass was at a football game and let the one horn fall from the top bleacher to the back parking lot???

    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.

    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.

    Since age out is pretty early is it actually worth it to buy one?
    Edit: Second suite in F went hard

    I feel to do a proper review of things like horns, you’d have to get used to each horn and know the ins and outs of each horn. I personally use a Yamaha B-301 marching baritone and as I know my horn, I can easily play lyrical and technical passages such as drum corps ballads/closer parts with just a bit of practice only because I’m not at that level yet.

      rolling pins. That's what my friend recommended, and indeed I just used the two rolling pins I had in the kitchen, pushing against each other, and this reduced the creases by about 90%!

    What's the difference between a marching baritone and a normal baritone?

    • @theunknown0887
      @theunknown0887 3 роки тому +5

      Marching baritones have their bells facing forward and you have to use it sort of like a trumpet whereas the standard baritone the bell is facing toward the ceiling and is played like a euphonium or tuba but sound wise there isn’t a difference

    Man was definitely sponsored by blessing lol. I think there is a reason that drum corps uses Yamaha. Also, the overall quality of Yamaha is by far superior. Worth the extra cost.

      ?
      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.
