I like those twitter-style reviews but disagree with the general negativity. There were VERY VERY VERY bad episodes (my favourite one is 'gosh. Did I leave my tricoder?' And then they go on 45 minutes searching for a tricorder), but overall I really liked ENT. Many characters came out quiet shallow though (Reed especially) and were depicted too stereotypical for my liking.
I'll try to see bright spots where I can. But when it comes to Enterprise, you're either a hater or fanboy. I´m neither I love Trek and for me this is Trek.
TNG had its share of VERY VERY bad episodes that too much tried to be TOS and not 'the next generation'. Shades is only one example. The 'Tasha-black-woman' cagefight is another example (plus, the whole episode is completely stereotypical and racist). So: Bad episodes dont make a series bad. But as I said: ENT had VERY bad episodes, too - and obviously the worst and most disrespectful ending ever. Tue Jul 31, 2018 2:05 am.
I was alarmed by this talk of the inspiring 'Faith of the Heart' as trash, so decided to empower you to form correct opinions about the rest of the season. I forgot to warn you about 'Extinction' before it was too late, though, and you had to watch that unwarned that it was bad.
It's called First Watch/Rewatch because I'm traumatizing Connor with episodes I barely remember when I watched them once 15 years ago. Oh, okay, then you know the score. I retract my entire post. I support Then Jesus said to Peter, 'Put thy Glossary back into its place: for he who takes up the Glossary shall perish with the Glossary.' -Mt 26:52 Tue Jul 31, 2018 3:48 am. 5 eps in on season 3 and I'm really liking it so far.
The Xindi ark is interesting thus far. Cuz it's about war. That's apparently what people like. Has nothing to do with Star Trek however but whatever. Apparently the exploration of the unknown of space is just too boring. I wonder how people ever liked TOS.

Inaccurate but whatever. That's what people are like. Well if it's not about their fight agains the Xindi, then what is it that you like about it?

So, I just picked up my old Eb sousaphone from storage. It's taking a bath now. I was wondering if it's possible if someone might have converted it from a helicon to a sousaphone. The helicon looks like this: I don't have a picture of my sousaphone just yet, but I will as soon as it is presentable. It is silver with a brass bell. It might have been gold, but someone painted over it long ago and my friend cleaned off the paint back in high school.
Any thoughts? Was this a common practice? I ask because the bell is super angled when I play it. Also, the valves are brass. Were they maybe plated at one time and now not any more? I'd like to get it fixed and have read some posts here about how nice and worthy these horns are to fix, but I just want to make sure. A picture is essential, without it you're not going to get anything but half-assed guesses.
I'd get it outside, in good light though maybe not direct mid-day sunlight, and prop it up so you can stand a little ways back from it. Pictures taken from too close suffer from a perspective effect that makes them a little deceptive.
If you can't zoom in to fill the frame, that's OK, there will be plenty of resolution to support some cropping. The final image could be on the order of 1000 x 1000 pixels - don't need or want a giant high resolution image here. TubeNet Sponsor Posts: 5290 Joined: Fri Aug 19, 2005 3:58 pm Location: Seattle, ☯. It's hard to see if anything was done to what could have been a helicon if you don't get a side profile of what the bow leading up to the bell looks like. Also i know zero about helicons but it appears no bits are present in your photo which might or might not explain the odd angle the horn is pointing. In addition, the brace from the horn to the bell looks a little frankensteined. In addition to my in addition, york & son singular not 'sons' is what is on the engraving?
That could be clue to the bell origin. In addition to my two other in additions, i've not heard of 'enterprise' so i hope some other york followers can help. It's York and Son, not Sons. Also the 'Enterprise' thing might actually have been marking that was put on the bell. I can't seem to find it anymore and if I remember correctly, it said that on the bell somewhere. I've put up some new pictures for your enjoyment. The valves are done and it doesn't leak anywhere else (according to the repair guy) but A on the bottom of the staff is super out of tune sometimes.
It's also go LP markings on the tuning slides, except the main one. So, my hypothesis is that it was once a helicon, someone changed it to a sousaphone but since it needed bits, it would play in low pitch with the bits. I remember it playing in tune with two bits when I marched it in HS in 1998. Any idea on what bits to use? King ones are too big. The York Company was established in 1882 by James Warren York (born November 24, 1839, in Exeter, New Hampshire), who had earlier worked for Boston Manufactory. First as a dealer and importer, he was briefly in York briefly partnerships as Smith & York (1883) In 1884 the company was known as J.W.
York and Company. He opened a factory in 1885, assisted by Frank Holton for a year, as York & Holton (1885). In recognition of his infant son Charles E. York, he renamed the company York & Son in 1887.
In 1897, Alfred J. (Bill) Johnson became the company’s foreman. York further changed the company’s name to York & Sons in 1898 to include his other son, Frank W.
Both sons were active with the company until about 1913. He changed the Co. Name in 1900 to JW York and Sons.
In 1913, Johnson, along with John and James Duffy, formed a stockholding company. Couturier was a consultant from 1914-16. York specialized in Cornets and Trombones until 1917, when York moved to California. The timeline is a little dubious.
As the Sousaphone (with a recording bell) wasn't really seen until 1905-1908, I kinda doubt the 1898 claim with the name change. Sure, we don't have a set serial number list from the manufacturer, but we can reasonably guess based on the instruments available.
As you need a neck and bits, you may either want to convert the existing leadpipe receiver over to a Conn assembly, or find a very elusive right-angle upper neck and S-shaped single bit. I think this was the appropriate style for these setups. 6 valves Posts: 5015 Joined: Fri Feb 29, 2008 2:31 am.
After recording 4,397 York instruments I can say confidently that: York & So n production ended near serial # 900 (cornet #910 has '& So ns' engraved on the bell and '& So n' embossed on the second valve). No 'York & Son' nor 'York & Sons' sousaphone has survived if one was ever made. The first York sousaphone surviving is a BBb bell forward serial numbered 65307 (made in 1921) and is engraved simply 'York'. The serial number 24183, if York, would place it at 1910 HOWEVER the sousaphone body looks like it was NOT modified from a helicon, rather made as it is now. If this were, say, a Pan-Am body that same serial number would place it at 1921, which is much more reasonable.

The 90° bend on the bell section easily COULD have had the flair section replaced by another instruments bell flair (even a bell-up tuba!). This is the only 'York & Son' engraving that I have seen that does not include 'Grand Rapids, Michigan'. I have NEVER seen 'Enterprise' included any form of the York name from 'York and Son' (1987) through it's ownership by Carl Fischer 'York' (1970). This is what an Eb York sousaphone looks like. Wow, thanks for the help here. My question, though, still has to do with the horn body (minus bell) looking almost exactly like the one in the image from horn-u-copia (attached).

A main difference is the second valve tuning slide. The engraving is the same, the valve cluster is the same (methinks) and the leadpipe is also in that funky way.
This leads me to believe that the Eb sousaphone I have was once a helicon that someone butchered into a sousaphone. Now, am I mad at that person? A smidgen, but hey, I love this horn. Ellie Mae was the first tuba I bought, and she's sent me down this deep dark cavern of horn purchasing. Sorta deep and dark, I've got an Eb sop cornet.not so deep. That being the case (looking like the helicon), did York and Son (no s) make helicons around 1910?
