Very interesting!
Thank you for your clear explanation Dave!
What is very unfortunate is that the new price of a euphonium/brass instrument, is almost unaffordable. Twenty years ago when I bought my York, it was at a reasonable price, as me customer. 20 years later, the retail price has almost doubled.
I get it, materials have become more expensive, workers' wages most probably too, unfortunately these are not the prices the 'common man' cannot afford anymore.
That is why I welcome this Sovereign development! Because of this additional development, a prestige euphonium is not necessarily needed.
Thank you very much for your years of dedication in the euphonium community
Very exciting! Looking forward to trying this out in the future!
Very cool - did you say the instrument comes with all six receivers? That’s pretty awesome!
Thanks David!
Besson isn’t just going to roll over and let Adams take over then?
No trigger I saw, but also no connection between the first and third value (compensating system?) . Does this means that it tunes well enough without the trigger or is the trigger an add-on?
Superb, Dave - how incredible is that range of options??
