Hi Larry, I share some of your experience. I played from age 6 though about 26. But then because life got in the way (marriage and working for a software sweat shop) I gave it up for many years. ...

Hi Larry, I share some of your experience. I played from age 6 though about 26. But then because life got in the way (marriage and working for a software sweat shop) I gave it up for many years. ...
I agree with you about Dave's knowledge of the Adams instruments and have followed his advice in the past. I think he is providing us a great service in evaluating the instruments. He is why I have...
You might be surprised. Doug is really good at diagnosing issues people have with mouth pieces. He uses Skype to watch and listen to your playing. I don't think it hurts to at least talk with him...
I'd recommend giving Doug Elliot a try. He makes mouth pieces that come in three pieces, shank, bowl and rim. As such they can be made interchangeable to fit many different instruments and playing...
Now that you've had this a little while, are you still in love with it? I'm trying to decide if I need one.
I have a 1974 B&H Imperial that is in fabulous condition. I bought it a couple of years ago from a shop in England for around $2500. It had been completely refurbished, re-silvered and actually...
I just watched this video. It is hilarious. The only good news is that I got an email from today from McAfee that said they had reviewed my request about the wessex-tubas.com site and they have...
After spending nearly two hours talking with various people at McAfee today, I now understand the issue of why I can't get to wessex-tubas.com from my computer network. My router has the McAfee...
Thank you Adrian. This is the first suggestion I think will work. I've tried clearing cache on browsers and DNS but that didn't work and it actually didn't make sense as it was happening in three...
This is the error message I get.
wessex-tubas.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is only valid for the following names: prod1.shp.mcafee.com, *.prod1.shp.mcafee.com Error...
Still can't bring it up. Still says it has an expired certificate. Even if I attempt to bypass the certificate, I can't get a connection. Not sure what is going on here, but it is certainly not...
Does anyone know what is happening with the Wessex website wessex-tubas.com
It has been a couple of weeks now and I'm still getting unable to connect messages from all of my browsers due to an...
Thanks for the information. I have an Adams E1 with a Sterling Silver Bell. I'm trying to decide if I should switch to an E3. The E1 seems to have projection issues when I play in a large group...
Thanks for the information.
Dave, does the Adams E3 you have have a Sterling Silver bell? How does it compare to the Adams E3 selected? Thanks
Jonathon, thank you for this discussion. I'm looking forward to seeing the results of your manufacturing improvements in the coming years. Already you seem to be doing a fantastic job.
I agree about the "mpc lending library". It would be a great way to try out various mouthpieces without having to invest a lot of money doing so in an effort to find the one that works best for you.
That instrument went fast.
I used to go on the mouthpiece safaris as you call it. It tended to get expensive after a while. Then I talked with Doug Elliot. While his mouth pieces aren't exactly cheap they come with a lot of...
Congratulations. I hope you got the Black Friday price as well on this. Let us know how you like it. I bought the duplex euphonium last week about this time. It arrived on Tuesday, shipping is...
I went to the same thread and saw nothing special. However several instruments are 20% off for the next couple of days. These are the two helicons, the travel euphonium and a trumpet. They are...
I'm the owner of the 1925 Buescher on eBay. Yes it is pretty much in original condition. But in looking at the photos of the one from 1929 I'm pretty hard pressed to tell the difference. But I...
I now have received my Wessex duplex euphonium as of yesterday and I can say that in general I'm pleased with it. It plays much better than my 1925 Buscher double bell as you can well imagine. I'm...
I own a Besson Zephyr euphonium built around 1900 that has five valves. This is pre-compensating system. The fifth valve is used as a manual compensation system by using alternate fingering to kick...
I just ordered the Wessex double bell. I'll post about it when I receive it.
