Note the "2+1" portion means "2 oboes plus english horn" Thus a double reed quartet of 2 oboes, english horn and bassoon will look like this: Whenever this occurs, we will separate the first four digits with commas for clarity. These are linked to their respective principal instruments with either a "d" if the same player doubles the instrument, or a "+" if an extra player is required. Sometimes there are instruments in the ensemble other than those shown above. This woodwind quartet is for 1 Flute, no Oboe, 1 Clarinet, 1 Bassoon, 1 Horn and Piano. Any additional instruments (Piano in this example) are indicated by "w/" (meaning "with") or by using a plus sign. The first number stands for Flute, the second for Oboe, the third for Clarinet, the fourth for Bassoon, and the fifth (separated from the woodwinds by a dash) is for Horn. The bracketed numbers tell you the precise instrumentation of the ensemble. Rimsky-Korsakov Quintet in Bb Item: 26746

Rough out accessible dents (those reachable without unsoldering). Instruments will be ultrasonically cleaned. Our Basic Service includes ultrasonic cleaning, removal of accessible dents in the slide tubes, straightening of outer slide tubes, aligning of inner slide tubes to outer slide, replacement of water key pad.Įxtensive Service includes the Basic service plus disassembly*, honing of the outer slide*, burnishing of outer slide* and removal of dents from U crook. Professional instruments may require more time to fine tune the repair and may cost more. Additional charges apply for cleaning silver or gold plated instruments. However, the conical bell section is very open and may require more air and effort from the player at louder dynamics.The repair shop at Hickey's Music Center is pleased to offer free estimates on services in addition to those listed on these lists. Having a conical bell section generally gives a warmer sound than that of a bell tuning instrument. Slide tuning and bell tuning trombones have different timbral and playing characteristics. A slide tuning instrument has more moving parts, which theoretically make it vulnerable to alignment problems.Īs with all things musical, it is a matter of paying your money and taking your choice. Modern designs have much lower weight penalties than the designs of the 1960s. More weight means more inertia means a slower slide. First is weight: including the tuning mechanism in the slide necessarily increases the outer slide's weight. Slide-tuning has two primary disadvantages. Other altos are notorious for having these notes almost off the slide. Shires went to slide tuning on his alto so that the instrument would have solid low A and E. Other instruments (notably the Bach 50) have the low C (on the F side alone) perilously near the end of the slide. The Conn 62 has an in-tune low C without worrying about going off the inner slides. Slide tuning also allows for a longer slide section. Of course, then it's too long for the Bb horn. A Bb/F bass trombone with slide tuning (and NO provision for bell tuning) can have a tapered tubing proportions that are approximately correct for the F side. Trombones are roughly 1/3 tapered and 2/3 cylindrical tubing. Slide tuning has a substantial advantage for bass trombones because it allows a longer continuously tapered bell section. #OLDS CORNET TUNING SLIDE SERIES#
Kanstul makes a slide-tuning bass in its 1662 series and 1670 series, and a slide-tuning tenor in its 1688/1608 series. Shires currently produces a slide-tuning alto and makes slide-tuning slides for tenors and basses on special order. The design lasted longest in bass trombones (the Olds P24 and Conn 7xH). Actually, American manufacturers (notably Conn and Olds) produced slide-tuning instruments well into the 1960s.
