    I had one for a while as a second horn. It's a very good clone of the Besson Sovereign 967, both in paying feel and sound. I sold it because I was playing an Adams E1 pretty much exclusively.

    My favorite is the Martin Ellerby Euphonium Concerto. It works for me on many levels--musical, technical, and, at times, spiritual. About 15 years ago I had the privilege of performing it with an...

    The very earliest Tubenet from maybe 20 years or so ago was great, a community which came together and was excited about sharing information. All was fresh and the discussions full and lengthy. But...

    My opinion, as someone who owns a Sonic, is to get the 4 valve and not a special order and likely much more expensive 5 valve. The Sonic is a fine, high quality instrument; and the facility and...

    I don't know where the horn is now. The photo was taken in 2014 not long after I got it. I later sold it by consignment through the Tuba Exchange when I wanted to buy an E2. Ultimately I decided the...

    So how did the blacklisting show--did you try to buy and were refused? Or something more subtle?

    Just a note on the Alliance E2 Larry is selling. I play on that mp and to me (but maybe no one else) it plays like a perfected SM3U. If you play on a Wick 3 size mp, and are not totally satisfied,...

    Just a quick note on the Sonic. It's lighter but not smaller in any way, and of course un-compensated.
