New Engelbert Schmid Price List

Bob Osmun — Sat, 08 May 2010 20:41:00 +0000

All the recent financial turmoil in Europe has had one benefit for US horn players: The decline in value of the euro has made our Engelbert Schmid horns less expensive. Our standard Schmid double is now over $1000 less expensive than it was a year ago. (We’ve got a new one coming in this week). I’ve updated our price list. You can see it at http://www.osmun.com/prod/Schmid/schmprc.htm. Plus we have pages of information about Schmid horns at osmun.com.

Alternate Horn Mouthpiece Shapes

This diagram reperesents three stock shapes for Osmun horn mouthpieces. The shaded area is our standard blank. Then green lines show our #2 blank. It adds about twenty percent more mass to the standard blank and has a little more core and stability at the expense (we think) of tone color. The red lines outline our heavy blank, which is fifty percent heavier that the standard one. It is extremely stable and focused but the extra weight makes it more fatiguing to play, especially in the upper register. The heavy blank can also be supplied with ribs, which lessens the weight and increases the surface area.

Stay tuned…

The Boss TU12BW. Designed for Brass & Woodwinds.

The new Boss TU-12BW instrument tuner is a welcome addition to the products we carry at Osmun Music. This tuner was specifically designed for brass & woodwinds. It includes an external microphone and a holder that can clip under the lip of most music stands. Five years ago, a tuner of this ilk would run you in the $200 range, but this Boss TU-12BW is half of that.
