So does material make a difference?
Hi Euphonium friends, I recently heard from my private teacher and a brass guy from Music and Arts that the finish on a brass instrument changes the sound of the instrument. Like, a silver one is...
I noticed this too! Very curious as to what makes its price so much lower compared to its counterparts in willson, besson, adams, yamaha, etc.
I just figured out that it’s actually a 721!
Hi Euphonium friends, I recently stumbled upon a horn known as the Eastman EUM-621. A fully compensating advanced level horn with a tuning trigger under the eastman name. It is not for sale in the US...
I think I need to find a day to go up to dillons music in NJ and play test an old besson and a packer.

Hello! I’m currently a rising senior in high school and I currently play on a Besson Sovereign owned by my school. I’m looking to get a horn of my own for college and I have about 5000 dollars in my...
Thank you all for your help, I’ve decided to go with the wessex
No, I am asking whats the best horn at the maximum of that price, I must have worded my question wrong
Is the Dolce the best horn within the 1000-2500 range?
Hey Guys, I’m a Junior in High School and currently play on a Besson Sovereign 967 that belongs to my school. I’m looking to play Euphonium in college and I’ll need my own horn. I’ve looked into...
