I just played a little on a Q90. Seems like a good option as a lower cost version of the venerable 2900. medium shack, not as heavy physically as a...

I'm very confused - I thought the Q41 was supposed to be the Shires horn for Willson 2900 fans - Hiram Diaz and others were supposedly involved in...

The Q-series instruments, by design, are lower cost (mid-tier price wise). So, even though the Q41 was (arguably) inspired by the 2900…it is still...

There's a potential here for intracompany adverse competition. The Shires euphonium, I have read, was meant to compete with Willson; a modernization...

great, thanks for your reply!

I bought my 5050 here. Steve Ferguson was a very attentive owner and had an eye for quality and detail. When I had some issues with my new horn, he...

Yes. I have owned the Monzani euphonium. As far as Chinese stencils (Jinbao) go, they are actually quite decent. If your budget is less than...

The Chinese production line made at Eastman are the Q series instruments…and all the Eastman subsidiaries have them. Bourgeois Q guitars, Haynes Q...

Can someone please explain where the Q series fits in the Willson product line? Does it compete with the Adams Sonic? There’s precious little info on...

How does the 4G play compared to the other 4 sized mouthpieces on the list? Also, how much are you selling the PT-7C for?

I wonder how similar the Willson Q-series horns will be to their legacy (now "custom" series?) horns... 2900, 2950, 2960. I love how Eastman has...

Thank you so much deVisée... I am thinking to eventually get the 4mm Hydro-jet for my M5050. In the US it appears to be available at Dillon Music: ...

Hi Guido, it works well on the Besson, most bends can be taken, but I did remove all slides and cleaned/flushed them again separately as well. Didn't...

So the Willson Q-series horns are starting to be revealed, eh? That was FAST! Definitely looking forward to hearing more about them!

Hi deVisée, how successful have you been in cleaning your E2 with the 4mm Hydro-Jet? are there any twisty sections of tubing that you have not...

This is the S1 in comparison to a DW mp. Smaller diameter, but it is still relatively stiff, though; does the job.

I'm very sad to hear this! I did business with Steve before it was "HornGuys" and it was called "Ferguson Music" - it was in the late 90s. I do...

Thanks for that ‘deVisee’. Did not know of the smaller diameter version.

Seen this video a couple times. I use the Hagerty's spray, and it is definitely a must have. 1.9 million views since 2016!

You'd want the smaller, thinner and more flexible S1 version for your euphonium. (link)

I found a video on using the "Hydro-Jet M1" and it looks like a good idea, but it appears the hose is a bit too stiff to make many turns. In the...

My nearest shop that does ultrasonic cleaning is over two hours away… Not sure if that will ever be worth the hassle of arranging drop off and...

I do a twice-year bathtub cleaning, an annual ultrasonic clean at the local music store and in between use Spitballs to keep inside of horn clean. ...

Always sorry to see a "local to me" euph dealer demise. Even though I never anything from him, I enjoyed perusing his periodic offerings and heard...
