I have read and agree to all of the terms, thanks for the information!

Welcome to the forum Jerome. Great looking Adams! Please be sure to read Dave Werden’s post “Read before posting items for Sale” here:

The 2004 Prestige is a late, late "English" made Besson, though by that time the factory at Edgeware in London road had been shutdown, tooling and...

I’ve been playing euphonium for 18 months after a 40 year break. My high range is starting to improve, but after playing trumpet for a couple of...

I am considering purchasing a new Adams E3. If this is the case ( presumably, with the estimated time for realization and delivery, it will be by the...

Also, it's made in 2004, which is in the 'risk period' of Besson, iirc.

Feels high to me--esp. with other stuff being as it is. 1. We're still in a pandemic 2. Generally, the Internet will help you find good pricing 3....

My rule of thumb is that 2/3 of the price of a new one is about right for a used horn in good condition. This one seems to fit that. If it were newer...

Horn is sold. Thanks! -Funkhoss

I recommend that one of the excerpts be Stars and Stripes. It’s not a glamorous one, but it’s been on every premier band audition I’ve taken and it’s...

I play multiple instruments with decent success. Euphonium is clearly my main instrument, and I devote most of my time to it. But I do also play a...

There are 54 titles, some with several excerpts, in "Euphonium Excerpts from the Standard Band and Orchestra Library." Brian Bowman and I both...

That's one of the reasons I liked the composite "felts' that besson/adams/etc. uses, they are quieter than real felt and they don't really compress...

That reminds me! At ITEC 2016 I wanted to test the Yamaha 842 for general purposes and to add it to my fingering charts. However, the 842 on display...

there are a few things here to be aware of: 1. the original felts sometimes don't fit perfectly, and valve alignment can sometimes be improved by...

Hello! Thanks for your comments. Sorry the HBC is not for you and do please return the HBC for a full refund if desired.

Thanks for all the infos! I am NOT a professional musician, so I can afford to be more lax about practice. That said, I did invest in an...

The Taylor 814 was what I traded in to get the Taylor 912 (rather what my wife traded for me!). Those are really nice guitars.

Yes, the sides are Brazilian rosewood. I also got it out and hurt my fingers a bit! Should do it more often!
