Adams F tuba

[gary]

I've been playing the Adams F since June and part of the reason it's taken me so long to review it is I can't put it down. I absolutely love it! I want to play it for everything. I played some solos at a service and I friend who's known my playing for almost 40 years said that it's the best I've ever sounded and it's fun to play. The solo lead pipe makes the horn just sizzle with life. It feels like it's resonating inside itself. In other words, even in a small practice room it still resonates. The bigger lead pipe isn't as much fun but is more appropriate for the orchestra and the trombones like it better in that situation. The big pipe also isn't as flexible. Intonation is great with very little slide movement or alternate fingering. I bought it from Keith Elder from The Brass Stop in Tulsa Ok. He was fantastic and it was very helpful dealing with a tuba player. I had talked to another dealer without the tuba experience and they just weren't as helpful. I tried two different horns and they were both great but a little different. I decided on one and then tried the other one one more time and I thought the sound had a little more life to it. Ergonomically it works for me better than my PT-10 and I'm 5'10". It's a great horn and Keith was very easy to work with.
