I am selling my Adams E2. There has been fairly detailed information posted elsewhere on this forum but I will reiterate.

I ordered this from John Packer in March last year and collected it at the start of May. It was a custom order, but the only special options are the Satin Lacquer finish, the main tuning slide trigger, and the blue abalone buttons. I paid £5750 for the instrument.

I have replaced the springs with light Mead springs, and have kept the originals. All accessories, for case and instrument, are present.

I have found that using Rapid Comfort for the main tuning slide, Bach Tuning Slide & Cork Grease for the valve slides and JM No 2 Valve Oil yielded best results. The instrument has also benefitted from monthly baths and very regularly valve cleaning.

Specifics:

0.80 Yellow Brass
Main Tuning Slide Trigger
Blue Abalone Buttons

I would like to think £5500 is a reasonable price given how much the price has gone up since I ordered this.

I am prepared to ship globally, and charge fully insured shipping, at cost price.

There are three marks on the instrument. One is a very small dent on the bottom bow at the front, the second is a minute ding on the tube from the valve to the fourth valve, and some scratches / marking the the outer leg of the first valve slide due to using a detachable lyre box holder.

I will be adding photos.

If you have any questions please ask!
