    Yes, definitely a 3-valve compensating baritone. I once owned a lacquered example of the same model. It was not a good player. I blamed this on the general condition of the horn and its worn...

    I'm curious as to how this horn plays relative to the fixed-bell Besson 181/New Standard/767 instruments. I once owned a Besson 3-valve compensating horn with an adjustable bell (Model 175 I think)...

    I believe the second euphonium player is Michael Dingfelder. I haven't met him, but according to his RCBB bio he's active in Beaver County, PA where I grew up. I've heard and thoroughly enjoyed the...

    Arnie,

    Glad to hear the Sterling arrived safely and will be put to good use. As far as the trigger goes, I found that it could stick in the extended position if it was quickly pressed with the...

    Some players seem to prefer the straighter leadpipe angle. I guess it depends on your body type and what you're accustomed to. It seems to me that the Besson Prestige has a relatively straight...

    The Sterling will really sing in a church sanctuary. In a wind band, I thought it seemed to get lost in the texture at lower volume levels. I'm sure it's optimized for brass band playing given its...

    I had one of these installed on a Besson/B&H Imperial a few years ago. I'll second what Rick said - they are tricky and the tuning slide needs to have very smooth and parallel legs so that it...

    This example appears to have a large shank receiver. It looks original to the horn but it's tough to tell from the pictures. Seems like a really good price for a New Standard in this condition.

    Besson also produced a 3-valve compensator marked as a model 766. There is one on eBay right now, located in Switzerland I believe:

    I'm the seller of this horn. It was indeed purchased from Custom Music, and my understanding was that it was old stock as David has suggested. As far as the valves go, the...

    Euphonium valve cap and button question

    Can anyone tell me if the scalloped-styled New Standard top and bottom valve caps and conical buttons will fit an Imperial or an older British-made Sovereign?

    Thanks!

    Mike,

    Did anything come out of your trial? The horn is gone from Ebay, so I'm guessing it isn't for sale anymore.

    Yes, this is a Besson model 767 as Shinn has stated. I own one just like it that I purchased through Duchy Brass a few years ago. It looks very much like a New Standard, but has Sovereign-style...

    Looks like H. N. White did make a saxhorn-style top action euphonium at one point. I'm guessing the e-bay listing was for the 4-valve version. I think I've seen one or two for sale before. Picture...

    This is definitely a compensating horn, indicated by the long valve cylinders and extra runs of tubing. If you look carefully, you can find all of the "loops" that a 4-valve compensator should have....

    It's been a while since I played a 90G, but I believe it had a bass trombone receiver. You might try a large shank mouthpiece in your 90G to see if it fits.
