Fam,
Well, I sold the Neo. It was a fine horn, one of the finest I've ever played, but just wasn't working for me. I used the money to purchase miketeachesclass's original Adams E3 with SS Bell and have been playing on it the last week or so. Missing the sound of my original yellow brass E3 (which I sold to help fund my brass band) this one is an excellent example of the E3. The SS is going to take some time to get used to. Sometimes I can feel that sparkle, but it is very strange - the sound appears to float or project from midway between the end of the bell and the leadpipe, which is a bit disorienting. It's almost like playing a front facing valve horn where the bell points "the other way". I don't remember that happening with any other horn. I can't wait to take this horn to a bigger room, my office limits how much the horn is able to open up.
Has any one else experienced this with the SS bell?
