Wessex looks like they adopted a similar idea for the 4th valve on their 6/4 compensating BBb tuba, the "Leviathan.' (A fitting name I might add,...

A rotary fourth valve would be interesting. I'd imagine it would allow for a configuration of the first 3 valve either up or front facing. I think...

While I never stopped playing, I was not a serious student of the instrument. However, after I started teaching HS Math in 2004, I decided I had the...

Item is sold via other platform.

I would like to see the 4th valve on a compensating euphonium to be a rotor. You can still use the left hand to activate it but the placement would...

I appreciate the encouraging words. 😊

It's difficult to think of anything new that's actually worth trying, especially for someone with without an engineering background like me! :)

It MIGHT be possible to special order different size receivers from Adams. The receiver is already removeable so they would have to produce them with...

How difficult would it be to offer a variety of receiver sizes on an Adams euphonium? The large and medium receivers work well on my Hirsbrunner....

Yeah this is interesting, this is what I was referring to. I saw their website and I was a bit confused when another member told me they were out of...

Idle curiosity. Has anyone else tried these or are they available at this point?

Hello Magikarp, I would absolutely love to see your opinion of the new Besson Prestige 2052-2 Euphonium! How is everything keeping your end? We...

I think that is a really good attitude to have, exactly. If you are in relatively good health, then you may have many years ahead of you in which to...

I understand. After 50 years of contrabass tuba, I recently began euphonium in earnest. It would have been nice to have started euphonium earlier...

I guess one of the advantages of having a trigger as standard compared to a compensating system is that you take away any additional resistance...

Thank you for the links Barry! Much appreciated and nice to see more about the horn. I agree about the trigger design. Seems much more lightweight...

Yeah, and its's only a bit cheaper. It would be interesting to try one. I guess it's a new model. There is nothing about it on the web. I have...

Well this is weird: http://www.vfcerveny.cz/en/news/375-cerveny-is-still-producing I'll bet the full story is interesting, because I'm...

That's interesting. There was a recent thread where we discussed the apparent fact that Cerveny/Amati had gone out of business and their workers and...

tuning trigger seems to use something like a bicycle cable for the linkage which is a nice solution I wish more brass instrument makers would look at.

Here's a video about the prototype from March 2019 https://www.facebook.com/GenevaInstruments/posts/2130449787009934 And a review from Aug....

It’s a pity there isn’t the choice of either soldered or unsoldered. Personally I never liked a floating leadpipe, but that might have been...

Hello Tbonesullivan, You are correct, I believe my Besson Prestige 2052-2 Euphonium is currently the only one with this addition although they...
