Hello all,
I am going into the Army to play euphonium so I ordered an Adams E2. Unfortunately, Adams sent a shipment of three instruments to the dealer and all of them were wrong. None of the customizations were right and the finishing was sloppy. I was very disappointed by this, but not completely shocked. The school I go to ordered an Adams and they received an E1 instead of the E2 that was ordered.
I am looking for advice about where to go from here. I really want an Adams because it is hands down the best horn I have played, but I am obviously leery of doing business with them ever again. The dealer I ordered from is dropping the brand because of how inconsistent Adams has been. I could try and order one from somewhere else. Again I am leery of going through this all again. It will be another 6 month wait and no guarantee of having the right horn waiting for me after boot camp. How do other models stack up? I have played a Meinl-Weston 551 and the Adams killed it. I have also played The Miraphone 5050 and enjoyed it, but it still wasn't as good as the Adams. How do other brands stack up?
All input is appreciated!
