    Glad they got back to you! I had ordered one for my Shires and had the same problem. Multiples emails/messages and I felt I got ghosted. All good in the end since I switched to a Besson and it fits...

    Do you mean 4-5 for the low Eb? 1-5 is an alternate for 2-3 on long whole step tubas.

    Other combinations I've used are instead of 4 using 5-1-2 or 5-3 (those darn low C's on an F tuba!). Low D...

    I did a bit of experimenting a while ago with my new Prestige.

    I found that the heavier the setup is...the sound becomes more dull and heavy (which some may think of as "dark", depending on the...

    Matt Good of the Dallas Symphony also had (has?) a similar horn, the Meinl Weston 2265, which came with 4 interchangeable leadpipes to test and ultimately he ended up removing the interchangeable...

    Hello!

    I am using the new Glyn Williams model from Mercer and Barker, hence why I am selling my MB4F, which I used before getting the GW mouthpiece.

    MeadSprings MEDIUM - Review Thread

    Just got the new Medium tension MeadSprings in and wanted to give a quick review.

    I put mine into my Shires euphonium, and noticed that the original Shires springs are a lot lighter, but not so...

    Glad to hear you found a horn! Would love to hear your thoughts on what made you pick the Prestige, compared to all the other horns you tried. You had a solid line-up minus not getting to try an...

    Cool idea! :)

    My introduction to brass band was through drum corps. I marched with Phantom Regiment from 2009-2011, and my first year the entire last half of our production was taken from the...

    I suggest the Eastman 800-level euphoniums for some of my undergraduate students who want a solid horn that will last them as music teachers and won't break the bank, great sounding horns at a really...

    I think endorsements help companies advertise, and it's certainly a good business plan to promote players in high-profile jobs/ensembles that play their instrument. I think there are a lot of people...

    I'm sure Gary Curtin playing an Adams now has caused some ripples in the water. FWIW I love the way my Shires Q40 fits into the brass band sound, and am excited to someday test the Solo model.

    The trigger kit had been backordered for a while. I had requested my kit a few months ago and just got it this past week. It would be worth reaching out to them to see if they have more stock now for...

    Hi Jeff,

    I've spent a good amount of time playing both the Shires Q40/Q41 and the Eastman 800 series euphoniums. Both use very similar parts, but I believe they do play quite differently. In my...

    Just got my horn back from the shop. Pictures of the trigger and the receiver. All works just as expected, smooth as butter!

    Good to know, sounds like the made the insertion depth of the mouthpiece fairly shallow to ensure that doesn't happen. My SM4U goes into the standard Shires receiver at 1.3" measured with calipers...

    Thanks for making that video, really helpful to see it in action! Not sure how one would do this, but it would be cool to see a "deconstructed" version of that to get an idea of how it looks on the...

    Glad to hear that the Adams AGR is easy to use, and what you said makes sense. I think being an engineering-type person I like to know the details/measurements of what I'm doing, but I do appreciate...

    The Solo/Custom line comes with the modular receiver pre-installed, so you can get the bits that work for whatever mouthpiece you want. Luckily, the same modular receiver is able to be retrofitted on...

    Yes the trigger has to be soldered on.

    I think the receiver is quite a bit different from the Adams AGR. With the AGR I believe you are literally adjusting the gap, but I'm not sure how you know...

    I know that Dan Thomas' Geneva is an 11.5" bell. I believe he also went with a different finish on the bell flare from the main bell to help get the color/sound that he wanted IIRC.
