I have a Czech euphonium from the 1920s. Its mouthpiece receiver is slightly smaller than the standard small shank trombone/baritone receiver. Small shank mouthpieces only go in about 1/2".

It's the Library of Congress digital archives. Try selecting "instrumental parts" and leave the search text empty....

Dunno if anyone's interested, or if this is a good price for the horn, but it's rare to see a BIN price on a tuba over there.
Just a...
I'm betting that there's a Chinese-made horn in most folks future. Not today, probably, but sometime down the road.
The first stuff coming out of China was pure junk. Some of the stuff today is...
Thanks, Dave. I did some looking around on the web after posting and found some information. There seems to be some confusion about the physics of those tones, since they don't fit into the harmonic...
This has really helped me. I was struggling with higher notes. Then I read this, and realized that more pressure on the embouchure wasn't helping me reach them. I experimented a bit, and found that I...
OK, I'm the new guy, just getting started on the euphonium a little over a month ago. So...for the past couple of days, I've been working on producing pedal tones. It took me some time to manage to...
Well, don't toss that into the dumpster. You can just ship it to me. ;>vbmodified
Hi,
I'm in the same boat as you, really. I just got my euphonium about three weeks ago, and I never even played a brass instrument before.
I'm betting that the mouthpiece on your new Jupiter is...
Yes, I'm talking about the one 4 ledger lines above the bass clef staff. So, thanks for the fingerings above that. I don't know what I'll do with them, assuming I can make them work, but I'll see if...
The high range isn't easy for me, either. I'm just starting on the euphonium...in fact, I'm just starting on brass instruments altogether. My prior experience was on reeds.
But I'm getting it,...
Thanks for the new references. I have a long way to go, but I'm planning on joining a local community band in about 6 months, so there's lots of practicing to do.vbmodified
There are a lot of us out there. Probably we played another instrument and are just starting with a low brass instrument. We don't need to learn to read music, learn rhythms or any of that other...
I'm just getting started, at age 62, learning the baritone, after years as a woodwind player. To that end, I bought an old baritone on eBay. I have it now, and have it all shined up...something it...
I'm a newby here. One of the things that seems to be happening is that China is learning from its mistakes on instruments. That's what I expected when I first saw the chinese instruments make their...
Thanks for the help. Like everything else, I suppose I'll have to try some different pieces before I find what I like and what works for this old guy's chops.vbmodified
I'm 62 years old and am about to take up the euphonium/baritone. I've played tuba in the past, but I just bought an old baritone or euphonium (don't know which yet...hasn't shown up). Offbrand old...
