I played one year on a euphonium with front-facing valve buttons. Aside from a couple of tubas, it’s all been either upright, inline 4 or 3+1. I...

Horn sold on eBay!

I’m gradually training myself to stop even thinking about a new 2704…..

I am waiting (and waiting and waiting) for the next crack taken at the 2975.

I have the JP274 in like-new condition (only had a couple of months), that I would be willing to sell for $1000 if you are interested. (feel free...

That's great Arnie - fascinating story of how one thing leads to another! I am sure you will have a great time with the new group.

Fascinating.... Does a Willson Q91 also exist? Has anyone seen/heard specs for any Wilson Q euphoniums yet? I have not found any such specs or...

The Q41 is a Shires-branded horn. (Shires-designed, Eastman assembled) The Q90 is a Willson-branded horn. (Willson-designed, Eastman assembled)

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...

Pm sent about heritage 4al

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...
