Not really answering your post, but just now noticing that you have a name for your Henry Dustin Euphonium (Junior). I like it that you name your horns. I think I have only named my Adams E3, and...

Dennis,

Now that is just too neat!! Gives me some ideas as well with my collection of horns. Just have to figure out a space in our new home in Florida.

John

Just now listened. Bravo! Well done David.

Maybe try a Wick 4AL.

If his budget is 1-2K, I would simply purchase a Wessex or Austin Doubler and end up getting a new, 4-valve, compensating euphonium.

I bought my Adams E3 (Sterling Silver bell, 0.6 gauge, trigger which wasn't really necessary, brushed brass, fully engraved bell) without ever seeing an Adams in person. All pretty much based on...

Yep, you are right Dean!! I did update my location at least!! It would be a heck of a commute to keep playing in the groups I have listed. I will fix that shortly.

Hey Magikarp, just landed after an over week-long packing, loading, driving, unloading trip from South Dakota to our new digs in Florida (a 2,000 mile voyage). I briefly saw where your new Adams E2...

I have a tuba that I might part with. It is a Wessex Eb, 4 valve, compensating tuba. In like new condition. And I just moved to Florida, about 80 miles north of you in Summerfield. PM me if you...

I finally found a score that showed the euphonium part on measure 15. The bari sax has a similar situation. But, after reading through Adrian's post above, there is absolutely nothing I can add to...

Hey Roger,

I took a quick look at the piece. It seems to be in Bb concert. What part and what measure are you referring to? I am looking at a score and don't see what you are asking about. I...

That is a great project you have done, Dave. Nicely played, nicely arranged, all in all a very nice addition to the repertoire. Well done!!

I hadn't heard of BlowDry Brass before this post. I looked it up. Seems that product has a bit different purpose. Spitballs for cleaning out gunk, and BlowDry Brass for "drying" your horn after...

I use spitballs. I take the valves out occasionally and clean them and swab out the valve casings. I give my horn a complete disassembly and bath at least twice a year. And run as many things as I...

I started on trumpet in 5th grade, then went to baritone/euphonium in junior high. I recently obtained a bugle (nice one) and a cornet. I bought a new John Packer cornet from DF Music, Inc. Out of...

I checked them out, wow!! That is a really fun group. And the euph dude plays a bell front and tuba also. I got a little side-tracked and watched a bunch of their videos.

Yippee!! Pretty exciting indeed!! Good for you, Simon!

That sounds like a very smashing horn that you are going to get!! I bet you will absolutely love it!! The satin lacquer is beautiful, I really love it on mine. I get virtually nothing out of my...

Sorry to hear about your injury, Franz. Hope you are better soon or at least the road to recovery is not too difficult.

Simon,

So glad you had the chance to play on a bunch of Adams euphoniums. They are, in my humble opinion, the finest euphoniums being made. Have to admit I have not tried any other/newer...

I have been following Dave's posts for the past several weeks and meant to jump in when he hit 10,000 posts on the nose. I was asleep at the wheel, and he now has 10,003. Congratulations on an...

I watched the video of Les Miserables. I quite agree that the band sounds wonderful, and it is rather amazing at how good a high school band can be.

However, in "watching" the video (as opposed...

Looks like a great horn has passed hands! Congratulations to both of you.

Just watched it. Great video. Thanks for posting, Rick. Linda and I would sure like to go to one of those championships someday. Maybe....
