Dad3353 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Good evening, ZD , and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Sorry to have to break it to you like that, but I think it's the kindest, in the long run. ... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A whole note up from standard bass tuning then. Does that fit better with your background in brass then?
