Its smooth playing feel and secure intonation make it well suited to both solo and section work, offering the flexibility required for today’s diverse performance settings.
Each F1 is handmade in the Adams brass workshop with exceptional care and consistency. The result is an instrument that feels balanced, performs reliably, and retains its tonal character over time.
