Good idea Sean in starting this thread! I'm going to move a few posts here from the 'Baritone Buying' thread since they were off topic. ...

I will jump in to share my experience. As I have discussed previously on the forum I was away from the euphonium for about 7 years after finishing up...

Dave - please let me know if this is an ok place to put this. I was inspired to make this thread because so many members of this forum either play...
