I actually ordered the Blu-Ray last week, can't wait to rewatch it. My favourite film ever made.

I need to watch that movie again. Some great music! Some may remember that Jim Carter, euphonium player and assistant Dir, played the butler on the...

Thank you. I purchased 4.

This sighting is worthy of a picture~

Here’s a great scene~ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zo8hIc7DpuE And a couple euph pics!

Thank you so much!! :cool:

I agree to all of the terms. Thanks!

These are the ones I put on my 1973 New Standard and they fit great! https://www.dawkes.co.uk/spare-parts/euphonium/besson Here they are at a...

To all: Pulled a finger button off my New Standard 484___. My screw ID gauge says it is an 8-32, number 8 bolt with 32 thread. Jim

I just updated the price on my Sterling - it is now available at $5,500. It is not listed on eBay (yet) but I have cross linked from my personal...

Hi all, I was able to interchange finger buttons between my 1980 Sovereign (Globe Stamp), 2002 Sovereign (late English), 2007 Prestige (German),...

While it is irrelevant to this conversation... I can confirm that the Adams, John Packer, Schiller, and Monzani horns I've owned all share the same...

My 1981 Sovereign's finger buttons don't fit my 1970 Besson New Standard. FWIW, my 1962 Imperial and my 1970 New Standard share the same finger...

Did the thread size change from British to German Besson production? A year or so ago I wanted to replace the lost lyre holder screw on my 1989...

The original NS buttons and caps were machined from solid brass in a very 'artful' style. The current style of valve buttons just overly wide...

The conical finger buttons of the old Bessons are truly horrible: the support surface is too small and slippery which, with springs of a certain...

Thanks for sharing this Rick, nice playing! After giving it a listen you inspired me to pick up my horn and play the first couple of phrases by ear....

I believe Matt Summers will be performing on this instrument at the US Army Band Tuba-Euph workshop next month, so it may be available to try out at...

Ann, AFAIK, no additional information has been released. This horn was fabricated as a complete "custom" design based on the standard Adams Sonic...

Hello Ann, I asked Josh at ACB to email Adams and ask about this 5-valver.... But as of last Monday he had not received a response yet. I would...

Has any more information been released about this?

I finally got around to playing Ashokan Farewell. I didn't like the original key of 'D' so took it down a semitone to ‘Db’. It's more manageable in...

Hello everyone, I have to admit that I have found this thread absolutely fascinating! I really hope that we may see some of these ideas featured...
