I'm in Australia, so when I recently bought a new Euphonium I didn't have the chance to try an Adams (no dealers down here) but I did try a number of instruments. I ended up buying a Gold Lacquer...
That's very interesting. Maybe I'll get a set of Medium or Original springs to compare. Did you prefer the Medium to the Light?
Agreed. The other issue I have with this study is the sample size. There were some interesting findings in the article but not enough information to feel confident in making definitive statements...
I don't believe anyone answered this. I asked Steven and he said they come with the original mead springs.
This!
Contraction of the Diaphragm and the External Intercostals muscles (+ a couple of other muscles that have a smaller input) work to expand the chest which results in inhalation.

I never did try the same brand of mouthpiece on the Shires as I compared my Alliance 3A vs the Shires 5 that was shipped with the Q41. The Shires mouthpiece I played much flatter on than the...

Hi Guido,
At this point there doesn't seem to be much info down here about the higher end Shires stuff. The dealers don't seem to know much more than what I've seen on this forum. And they have...
Thanks for your comment mate. I reached out to Matt and had a chat to him today. It's not practical for me to travel to Melbourne to try his Q41 as he is roughly 2,100 miles from me but fortunately...
Agreed that the responses will be subjective but it still gives me a little more information to work with to inform my decision.
As for the Sovereign, I know the reasons behind why it hasn't...
Thanks everyone for the comments so far.
Thanks I will absolutely keep that in mind.
To be honest I've heard recordings of the 842 and 642 back to back and I wasn't really sold on the...
Hi everyone,
I thought I'd seek some input from what appears to be a very knowledgeable and supportive community here.
Firstly my background. I've been playing brass instruments since I was a...
