Thank you for that info! I've been considering getting a trigger fitted to my 2900, so this was helpful to hear.

Haha this is not, I sent this listing to her and was trying to find out more about it! I’ll be the TA at the University of Oklahoma where she will be...

The lead pipe is curved slightly differently and adds a little more resistance to my feel. The trigger mechanism can be fiddly if you don't...

Wow, I wish I could justify buying this, looks like a great deal! I've been interested in trying out the UK model for awhile. What does the UK...

Is this the solo euph for Frontier? She sounds amazing on the Neo and already gets a very beautiful british sound with that Wick ultra mp. That...

This is incredibly subjective. It sounds like a besson. I don't mean that sarcatically - it has the characteristic british singing quality. ...

Done bid on that. One never knows what might be useful in the future! DG

A gorgeous survivor! Dennis

How would you say the 2051 sounds? I have a friend who wants to upgrade to one. She’s currently on a Yamaha Neo, but hasn’t been able to test a...

Hi Guido, At this point there doesn't seem to be much info down here about the higher end Shires stuff. The dealers don't seem to know much more...

This is the 2051 that was discussed some time ago that was previously owned by Patrick Schultz. It is of British manufacture. The standard...

Hello Woltz, if your local Shires dealer had also a Q40 in stock, it might be worth while play-test that as well.... Q40 seems to be closer to the...

Received the strap, and like Rick suggested, it works well around the 3rd valve slide on my 5050 with no issues. It is extremely well made. ...

Thanks for your comment mate. I reached out to Matt and had a chat to him today. It's not practical for me to travel to Melbourne to try his Q41 as...

Hey, thanks for the tips. I might wait until I get home from G.B. and take the horn into the local shop and try those suggestions out. Except for the...

Wick 4AL is a good standard, for people coming back after a long pause I would suggest the 5AL, a little bit smaller but the roughly the same cup...

Contact Matt van Emmerick and ask him if he can help you - you might be able to attend a Victoria Brass rehearsal and play his Shires which could...

Agreed that the responses will be subjective but it still gives me a little more information to work with to inform my decision. As for the...

Thanks everyone for the comments so far. Thanks I will absolutely keep that in mind. To be honest I've heard recordings of the 842 and...

If I lived in Australia, I probably wouldn't buy one sight unseen--the cost is too great. They're really fine euphoniums, and I've mostly played...

Thank you for the wick page. I'd found it and the description there is just "Pre-1974 B&H and Willson." If it had said something like "medium shank"...

Here’s a link to a comparison chart on the Denis Wick web site. ...

Thx to everyone and John who i recently met
