If you haven't already you might want to look at the Wessex brand. I have a Wessex baritone and absolutely love it.
If their alto horn is the same quality as their baritone, it's the best bang for...
I have a Wessex BR140 Baritone and absolutely love it! I would spend a few more bucks and order a Wessex.
I agree with all the above regarding method books, solos and private lessons. I would also add the other three most important aspects of improving as a musician; listen, listen and listen... Find...
I've used Al Cass "Fast" valve oil for several decades now with no residue buildup. As the saying goes, "works great, lasts long time". Rumor has it that Al Cass took 18 months to develop the oil...
Thanks Rodgeman. One last question: How is the plating on the valve pistons?
Can you confirm what appears to be a small hole/puncture in the tubing downstream from the main tuning slide where it runs parallel to the first valve? (Photo of the back side of the euph). Also,...
I'll be watching this one with great interest. I've been looking for one of these pre-74 models for a looooong time. If I win, I'll need suggestions on where to send it for a full restoration... ;-)
I recently purchased a used Wessex BR140 from another forum member and can't say enough good things about it. You can see my thread in the "Euphonium Brands" category on the forum. IMHO it's the...
Played my Wessex baritone this morning for the first time at church. What a great little horn this is! (I say "little" because I usually play euphonium.) I would have to agree with daruby that of...
Thank you gentlemen for your suggestions.
Unfortunately, I don't. Mine didn't come with a Wessex mouthpiece.
Thank you Michael for the recommendation!
Today I received a Wessex BR140 baritone that I purchased from another forum member. Other than arriving via UPS instead of FedEx (LOL) all I can say is "WOW!". This horn plays remarkably well in...
Thank you Mr. Werden. I primarily play solos in church with piano. The .50 red brass combination sounds like it might be an optimal choice for this type of playing. Hopefully, I can find one soon...
Has anyone played an Adams E1 with a red brass bell? If so, what were your impressions?
I sent you a PM.
I've been playing my trusty 321S since 1979 and have tried just about every "common" small shank mouthpiece but I always end up coming back to my Giardinelli 4D. It gives me a certain "wabi-sabi"...
I just watched a PBS special on Burt Bacharach. At the end of the special during the closing statements they played an old video of "There's Always Something There To Remind Me". There is a...
This just popped up on EBAY:

[QUOTE=AustinCustomBrass;140355]FYI Miel Adams and I are hosting a day at my shop on the 22nd of March if you're interested we'll have 8 Adams for testing along with a few other brands. My shop is...
This is great news! I've been wondering where I could try the Adams horns without going to Ittervoort. What model euphs will be available for a test drive? I will try and do some horse trading...
