Where can I purchase/play-test a Sterling Virtuoso Model Euphonium?

[Micah Everett]

Thanks. Boz’s needs are WAY more important than mine right now!

Nice work, Doug - thanks!

Micah,

Please post pictures of the valve section of your euphonium. At least 4 different valvesets have been used over the last 10 years. Paul needs to know which one and cannot tell by serial number alone.

Okay. Will do when I get back to the office. If I need to contact Mr. Riggett directly and out of this public forum I can.

Here are pics. Hopefully that is enough detail. It does need a polish; sorry about that. I do remember Mr. Riggett mentioning some time ago that the heavy portion of the bottom caps could be removed, but I would prefer to retain the option of using heavy caps and also to not apply heat to the instrument.

I believe Paul has been in touch about the Virtuoso that has been on order.

As I mentioned above, he does not consider himself a techie guy in the electronic world. However, he says he is taking on another person to help him handle this type of load.
(That's good news, because I'm sure we all want Paul focused on making great horns!)

How small of a company is Sterling?

[Micah Everett]

How are things going, Boz? I haven’t heard anything.

It’s a pretty small company from what I know.

Thanks James.

I hope we get to meet sometime. I am the solo euph with the Five Lakes Silver Band.

Sorry to revive this again. Could someone PM me with current contact information for Paul Riggett/Sterling? I tried to follow up this thread with an email but my messages to the two addresses I had have bounced back. I have not heard anything at all from them.
