    One thing I would think would be beneficial would be a means of "continuous lubrication". It seems crude and inefficient to have to unscrew and remove the valves in order to add valve oil.

    For me, going to stainless steel was a huge improvement. I've tried a few from the Giddings line, going small to large: Kadja, GW-102, GW-103, and Carbonaria. They are all great, but the 102 works...

    I have an E1, and for ME, Giddings GW=102 is way better than anything else I have tried. IMO the sound quality, and the feel (and other advantages) of stainless steel make it worth the extra...

    I just purchased a QHR a couple of weeks ago. Unless that has changed, they are still in business.

    I had the same problem. Adams sent me a shorter tuning slide, which fixed the problem with no modifications to the horn itself.

    The purpose of a bell cover is to reduce emission of particles, correct? I would think that with the length of tubing in a euph or tuba, that most if not all "aerosol" would condense and not be...

    Once I tried my first Giddings mp I was sold. After much experimentation my favorites are GW102 on my Adams, and Kadja-M (medium shank) my old Besson. GW-103 and Carbonaria are also great if you are...

    After experimenting with a cheap trumpet and a cheap flugelhorn I resold both of those and got a really good flugelhorn a few months ago, and am enjoying playing it. It is a slightly used Adams F1,...

    I love the feel of stainless steel, and aside from the feel of it, there are other inherent advantages over plated brass (see their website for more info). Personally, I love the clarity of sound...

    I asked the Monster people via their website, and they say that a slight yellowish tint is from anti-corrosive agent, but I would say that this is more than slight and I would definitely call it...

    I was using Roche-Thomas, and still have been, intermittently. There is otherwise no evidence of corrosion inside the horn. It is an Adams and I keep it pretty clean.

    Monster Oil - Why does it turn brown?

    I recently got some Monster valve oil to try, and I must say that it really does seem to make the valves move more quickly. However, when I empty the water from the tuning slides it comes out brown....

    Nice video, thanks! I have been doing this for some time, based on your written description of the exercise. I have found it to be very helpful, but it is nice to actually see it demonstrated.

    Thank you, I will check it out. "Hymnprovisations" is clever. I see that there is a CD-ROM with instrument parts...Does the CD also contain "play along" tracks?
