Useful tips

Are there special instruments for children?

Yes, these are particularly small and compact and just right for children’s hands and short arms. On another note, it is also possible to play brass instruments if you have braces; this is a question of practice and getting used to it.

Do dents damage my instrument?

Dents in brass instruments usually look worse than they are. Small dents in the bell are usually no problem in terms of playing quality. However, deep dents can narrow the cross section of the tube. In any case, we can remove dents in our workshop with the right tool in just a few steps.

How do I clean my instrument?

Ordinary dirt and deposits can be removed by placing brass instruments in a bath with lukewarm water and a little detergent. Grease and oils dissolve after around half an hour. You can then pull a cleaning brush through the tubes and rinse them with water. Then dry the instrument thoroughly and wipe the inner slides clean. Do not forget to oil it again when finished! We are happy to help with stubborn soiling and lime deposits.

B&S 3099QW ADVANCED Vogt instruments Leipzig

For the first time, B&S offers an F tuba with a standard quint valve for a better, easier low register. The “Advanced” is a progressive version of the established B&S model 3099/2W. None other than Prof. Walter Hilgers was the original idea giver for this project! The implementation has now been successfully completed with Sebastian Wagemann (Komische Oper Berlin, UdK Berlin). We have it! Let us advise you personally, by phone or by mail.
