    Geez when you said I missed a thread you weren’t kidding. I also feel like a kid waiting for Christmas and that’s just for being able to see it in person.

    Congratulations again!

I can't find the study right now. If that were done for different horns, we might see something tangible. Admittedly I often make these observations to other players and they can't hear the difference. For trumpets, I hear a loss of a full range of sound when too much bracing is used.
    A kindred spirit! I am interested in this Adams for similar reasons; I have yet to find a fully chromatic euphonium that I think sounds better than my YEP 321. It is in my opinion insane that I can randomly pop out full bodied low D flats as a total amateur, and yet professionals clearly struggle to get those notes on normal euphoniums. At this point I'm probably going get a French C or a 3/4 F tuba because I really think the 2 step 5th is poorly conceived, but if Adams made a "Sonic-V" with a flat tone 5th or quint 5th I would seriously consider buying one.

    Twelve weeks have passed…….waiting……waiting…..waiting…….

    I’m already eyeballing my practice music with the prospect of an alternate fingering here and there.

    Perhaps you should work with Dave on a bonus chapter for his alternate fingering guide. ("BONUS Chapter - The 5-valve Adams 'Super'Sonic")

    Hi Larry, love "your Super-Sonic" nickname for the Sonic V... Would make for a very fit overall family name for all 5th valve variants of any Adams euphoniums... Hope Miel is reading this

    What is the weight of the Adams Sonic 5-valver?
