Hello Euphonium community,
I am an older player that has returned to playing and performing regularly after a long music teaching career. I recently purchased an Adams E3 after playing on a Yamaha 641 for many, many years. Overall the instrument is excellent, I especially like the valve action and intonation in the upper register. However, I am having a difficult time playing softly in the mid to upper registers, often experiencing a slight double-buzz. Balancing and blending in a symphonic band seems to be more work than on my old instrument. I have changed my set-up, which has helped, but wonder if I should try an E1?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
