BEAUTIFUL SOUND AND LOOK!

 

Check out this gorgeous Custom Adams E3 Euphonium back from TMEA! Custom euphonium, in stock now - no wait time. A custom Adams euphonium can commonly take 8 months to a year to build. This is an exceptional opportunity to get an elite level instrument now, without the wait.

The Adams euphoniums have a resonant, powerful tone with incredible presence. The Adams E3 Euphonium is a completely different design from the E1 and E2, with a different bell form, bottom bow, first bow, and leadpipe. This design gives the E3 a rounder, darker sound. The Adams Euphonium is characterized by a majestic body, a beautiful transparency, and great tone projection. The patented Adams receiver enables you to regulate the color, timbre and playing comfort of the instrument. The "gap" between mouthpiece and leadpipe is adjustable.

 

Sterling silver is a very versatile material that provides great colors and clarity of tone. The general characteristics are the bell is much darker that that of yellow brass. This is phenomenal for soloists and serious euphonium players who desire a rich and rewarding sound.

What is the AGR (Adjustable Gap Receiver)?

(per Adams) Every Adams euphonium is equipped with our patented Adjustable Gap Receiver (AGR), empowering you to fine-tune the instrument’s response and resistance to match your exact preferences. Whether you desire lightning-fast responsiveness or a more controlled, resistant feel, the AGR ensures that your euphonium plays exactly the way you want it to. Discover the perfect configuration tailored to your unique playing style.

As a musician, you want complete control over your instrument. With the Adjustable Gap Receiver (AGR) built into every Adams euphonium, you gain that control. This innovative and patented feature allows you to finely tune the response and resistance of your instrument to suit your personal preferences. It enhances transitions between registers and enables more nuanced changes in tone color. The AGR ensures a perfect match between your playing style and mouthpiece

Many euphonium players might not realize it, but the distance between the mouthpiece shank and the beginning of the instrument's leadpipe can significantly affect performance, including response, tone, and intonation. This gap between the mouthpiece and the leadpipe is commonly referred to as the 'gap.' The reason for this gap is that different manufacturers may use varying sizes and tapers for the receiver or mouthpiece shank.

 

An innovative solution to this issue is the Adjustable Gap Receiver (AGR) on the Adams Custom euphonium. Unlike traditional receivers, this design allows you to precisely adjust the gap by simply turning the threaded receiver. This adjustment can make a noticeable difference in playability and tone, as demonstrated by various tests with different mouthpieces. Additionally, the AGR’s threaded mechanism allows for fine-tuning down to the smallest detail. While other methods to adjust the gap have emerged following our invention, the AGR offers an unparalleled combination of precision and convenience, without the need to swap or store separate parts. This makes it possible to effortlessly and precisely tailor the instrument’s response to your personal playing style. 

The gap can vary significantly, even with mouthpieces from the same brand. This variation can affect the playing experience and the instrument's performance. Players who may initially overlook this gap might miss the opportunity to fully optimize their instrument’s potential. The AGR provides the ability to experiment and find the ideal setting, whether you are switching between mouthpieces or refining the instrument’s response.

In short, although the Adjustable Gap Receiver may seem like a small detail, it offers euphonium players a valuable tool to enhance their instrument’s performance. By paying attention to the gap and making the necessary adjustments, players can improve their playing experience and achieve a more personalized sound.
