Adams Endorsement
The receiver is actually one of the things that's attracting me to the horn. I'm currently on a (school-owned) Willson 2950 and a Wick SM3U, and I wrap the end of the mouthpiece in a thin layer of plumber's tape because the response (for me at least) is greatly improved with that seemingly hair's-width difference. So yeah, as long as the quality's there (and from what I'm hearing it is) I'd definitely love to get my hands on one of these.
edit - I should also say congratulations on your affiliation with the Adams brand! I don't mean to derail the thread or anything. It's so exciting to see so many new (relatively speaking) top-level horns available now. When I started playing seriously, it seemed like the options for a professional horn were basically Willson, Besson or Yamaha. Now coming back to college after a 7-year playing hiatus, I find the options available staggering by comparison, especially for such a short period of time. The hard part now is trying to find the time and means to explore all these options!
