Was there one at Midwest? Any report? Or the new shires euphonium?

Not sure about the Eastman piston f but I see that Dillons Music is stocking both models of the Shires euphonium.

Following... Eastman seems to be keeping it a pretty secret development.

Any news on this oh so secret horn?
With the release of the John Packer F, I’m getting more tempted by the hour to switch back to a piston bass tuba.

I played one at least six months ago. I didn't have much time with it, but boy was it easy to play. With a rotary F, you have learn how to play it. This thing was like a sports car that went exactly where you pointed it. I didn't check the intonation, but it made me wonder why anyone would play a rotary F. There was simply no comparison between the rotary F that Eastman had and that piston horn--at least not for me.
