Are you moving on to a different horn?

Good luck with the sale of your Adams E3. It looks in great shape! Thank you for replying to Dave Werden's post: "Read Before Posting Items for...

Dave, I have read, do agree to your terms and as I have in the past, will make a contribution to your site if/when the horn sells. I’m not listing...

Congratulations - you have enabled another generation to enjoy owning and playing a Besson New Standard!

Bah... it's not a Bourgeois unless Dana Bourgeois selected and voiced the top. :rolleyes:

I bought the CB-labeled (Canadian Brass) Willson 2975, because I had a lingering forearm soft-tissue injury that would flare when I played a 3+1....

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.

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...

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...
