Ok, I feel really dumb. It was the AGR after all.
The receiver was quite tight when I took it out, and difficult to screw any further in, so I assumed it was in as far as it went. I didn't want...

Yes, I have a normal large shank mouthpiece (lots of them!). It's not like the mouthpiece is rattling around and is going to fall out. It's more subtle, similar to when you put a Remington taper...
Thanks for the feedback!
In response to your questions, I think it's possible that I'm making habitual adjustments for tuning that makes me hit the note slightly off center. I don't think that's...
Yes, I have tried several different depths from 0 to about 3/8". I'm not sure I've dialed it in to the ideal setting yet, but the phenomenon is still there regardless of what depth it's at.
I just bought a new Adams Sonic, and for the most part I'm loving it. I've primarily played Yamahas in the past - first a 641, then a Neo, both of which I had extensive experience with. I had to sell...
Bump for updates and more price reduction.
The horn has been sold.
Ah, I missed the "advanced" button - thanks!
I'd like to reduce the price to $4,500 on this one, but I can't figure out how to edit the thread title.
Bump for price reduction.
I'll include shipping in the continental US - Shipping outside the US will be at cost. The Faxx is the metal one.
I've read and agree
Cleaning out the mouthpieces!
Here's what I have, left to right. Feel free to make me an offer on multiple pieces. Shipping in continental US is included.

No worries about the lecture! I'm still playing music, just not much euphonium these days, and I'm in a downsizing period right now.
Yes, of course, I definitely agree. I've bought and sold a number of times here previously, but I guess it's been a while - doesn't hurt to remind myself of the terms!
Beautiful horn, immaculate condition. Doesn't get played much these days so I've decided to let it go. It comes with a soundwear gig bag, but I have a SKB hard case available, too.
THIS HORN IS...
Here's one more tip. Unless you're totally wedded to the King, keep on the lookout for an Olds like the one in the ebay link (or a Blessing or Bach, which were made with the Olds tooling and are...

Hah! It's definitely not a case of "they happen to own one." Just because the sound isn't what you're used to hearing doesn't mean they don't know what they're doing...
My friend Jon Natchez is...
I've also messaged for details and never heard back. The price is getting nice but the lack of communication doesn't inspire much confidence.
I have interest in a couple of these, but not sure whether the PM is going through. Are they still available?
I think what you want is a Hammond 11XL or 10XL.
Karl Hammond used to design the Schilke pieces and he describes the 12XL as a similar but improved version of the 51D. The 11XL and 10XL are the...
Thanks for the replies! The Neo is definitely on my radar and I'm looking to try one out very soon. It's harder for me to get to an Adams dealer, though.
I'm curious why you suggest the E1 over...
I know in many ways this is a silly question, but hear me out.
I'm a returning player who at one point was pretty serious (performance major at conservatory, etc). But the thing I don't have...
