I agree with the 2 suggestions above. Either a used compensating instrument or the new Wessex will satisfy you better if you have been playing a...

Hello BoneSullivan, a reasonably priced alternative to the multi-decade used Besson option may be the upcoming Wessex Sinfonico EP600H. This is a new...

In that case, I would decide on a budget, and look for a used compensating euphonium. There are a good number of Besson horns from the past 50 or so...

I recently acquired a similar euphonium--aside from condition and number it looks identical. The number on mine is 2062 which I can't find on any...

I agree placing any euphonium on its bell is not a good practice and yet I see videos of Matt Tropman doing it all the time. And I believe that's...

Nice engraving on that. DG

I THINK that horn is designed to be more fully conical, except for the draw-legs on the main tuning slide. There are no slides on the valve tubes as...

Case has been sold. Thanks! -Funkhoss

The Besson model I play currently is compensating, and I believe it may be an older sovereign model, but i'm unsure on that one.

I think there is some confusion. I am not looking at a Virtuoso. I own a Willson 2900. I have not been clear. In an earlier post you said the...

We have extremely good options for repairmen here in Iowa. Besides Lee Stofer, who is a fine repairman that friends of mine have used, Merlin Grady...

Suggest the John Packer JP274S euphonium. Can be bought new in the $1500 range (such as through DF Music). Some colleges, including Ole Miss, list is...

The suggestion above for a Yamaha 321 is a good suggestion and generally considered "safe" for anyone who does not want to be a pro player or serious...

Currently playing a school owned Besson, unsure of what model exactly, and i've been playing since the 6th grade if that gives anything.

Unsure of my exact budget, but i'm planning on studying to become a band director in the future

Just remember, there are always professional USED horns looking for a good home. I picked up an older Sterling Perantucci model for less than a new...

What kind of Euphonium are you currently playing, and what is your level of experience? For people starting out, can't go wrong with finding a...

I'm still torn on MTS vs the SKB. Not having a storage compartment in the SKB is a real detraction. I like to keep everything I need IN the case. ...

Can you tell us... What is your budget? Are you going on to music in college? What are your plans for playing after college?

Have no preference over used or new

Yeah, I guess you (Dave and Will) are right. Somehow I missed that the shipping was that high. It works that way on Ebay sometimes; what you "save"...

In the post above, Dean makes very good points. Also, are you just looking at new horns or would you consider pre-owned (sounds better than used)? ...

There's a wealth of information in this forum on various makes and models. I think you should consider your budget and how serious you are - is this...

If you are looking for a professional horn, a Virtuoso is a great option. Many of the professionals that I respect and listen to have played with a...
