It has been a while since I had this done. I remember thinking when I got it back that it definitely played and felt a little different. I had several things all done at once, including an...
My Adams E3 has had the following modifications done:
1) The hand brace has been soldered on both sides at two points each side (as opposed to the original with one point on each side soldered). ...
Amadeus, what a great movie!!! There it is!
John Coltrane perhaps? Monster player.
I think two servings of real fish per week is what I saw that would give one the proper amount of Omega 3. I did some reading after seeing this post and talking with Linda, who used to take fish oil...
Well guess who has a like new Olds baritone being delivered to sunny Florida today?
+1 on Band-in-a-Box.
It is a great way to create backing tracks. I have used it in the past to create small ensembles to play along with tunes I wanted to play. And if you are wanting to learn...
Simple, the one I currently own, my Adams E3.
Private message sent. I haven't told my wife yet!!!!
Hello WilliamMcEuph!
Welcome to the forum. Good to see you are back to playing euphonium. I don't own a John Packer euphonium, nor have I played one, but you are correct in that a lot of people...
Does the bell have Studio engraved on the inside of the bell, or is that just a reflection or a label put on by using a graphics program? Look at the pictures.
Boy would I like to have this...
Sort of hard to say. The Wessex (both of them) and the ACB Doubler are good horns. You might find a used top line horn for $3K, but not sure how likely that is or what shape it will be in for that...
Hello Boethius,
I do some excerpts on the Wessex Sinfonico and Dolce and also on the Austin Custom Brass (ACB) Doubler here: https://www.youtube.com/@johnalanmorgan/videos
All of these are...
That is not the latest version, but still a good system. I have used this version and the latest for several years. The very nice thing about these is that you sound good when you listen. I like...
I ordered also. I used Monster Oil in the past and liked it. Not sure why I didn't stick with it. But I am always on the lookout for something that works better than what I have, currently Blue...
So, I will weigh in. I agree with Franz on this one. On my Adams, I have a water key on the main (which has a trigger), the 1st and 3rd slides. They get full enough to need emptying in this order:...
I think maybe John Clough when he was with Black Dyke in the late 60's through the 80's.
Perhaps you could look for a plastic euphonium. There are several out there in the $400-$600 range. They aren't too bad and might work perfectly for what you need it for. I use a plastic trombone...
Why would you ever part with your cherished Adams? I hope it got a good home.
Also, think of the famous clarinet gliss in Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue".
Here is a sample of that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWnfN0x-3KE
I do what Dave does on a couple of my cadenzas, one that I am playing with a band right now. I do a two octave gliss from low Concert F up two octaves to the F above the staff. I do like Dave and...
I am thinking you want to know how long to move your left hand out of the strap and away from the horn (while holding the horn with your right hand). Virtually no time at all. My hand simply slides...
That is the exact strap I am using as of pretty recently. I got the one with the split (two) bottom straps. With my horn and modifications, to include main slide with tuning trigger, modified main...
Nice comparisons. I don't know if you had any or many changes in your position, the mics position, and other factors, but if all were basically the same, the surprising clip for me was the Eastman...
