My tech noted the missing thumb holder also. Said it would be a fairly easy fix. He leans toward the Conn but mentioned both are good instruments for what I need.
That is the King I'm considering. That particular Conn is another I'm watching. Both would probably end up being roughly 1/2 the cost of a Festivo and considering that euphonium is my 'second'...
Thanks for your input.
It would be used in a pops orchestra setting, covering occasional euphonium/baritone, 3rd bone, and bass clarinet parts where appropriate. I utilize at present a Schiller 3+1 compensator but the...
Any thoughts or information on a King 1168 4 valved euph with a manufacture date of 1975.

From Brass Ark re: the referenced horn-----A beautiful Mirafone tenor tuba/euphonium from the 1970s. This is a euphonium setup in tuba shape, it has 4 rotary valves, upright bell. Takes a standard...
The HornGuys baritone is the 5 valved 56B Kaiser. This Instrument appears to possibly be the 4 valved 56A model.
Any further/updated information on this euphonium such as condition evaluation and estimated value?
Isn’t this the same horn Wessex has for sale within it’s used Instrument section? I believe their asking price is $1660.
I have been playing the Schiller Elite for well over 6 years and have had no issues with it. Has met/exceeded all of my expectations. Great value for the price. Also going on 5 years with a silver...
Mine fit somewhat loosely. I obtained some small rubber rings from Home Depot that fit around the bottom valve cap nipples that tightened up my grime gutter.

My Schiller comp euphonium also had a loose main tuning slide. Took my tech guy about 1 minute to correct. Has not been a problem going on 2 1/2 years now. In fact since correcting very minor...
I have yet to come across a used JinBao comp euphonium or a big JinBao tuba anywhere other than Jim Laabs rental returns.

Well if you want it now, Jim Laabs has a JinBao 3+1 lacquer comp euph on ebay for $885 + $39 shipping or nickel plated for $1,085. Bigbottom's price for the same lacquered horn is $750 + shipping. ...
I have bought horns from both Laabs(JinBao comp euphonium and bass trumpet) and Bigbottom(JinBao comp Eb tuba). Both were easy to deal with although Laabs did have long wait times(2-3 months) after...
Great! Hope the Schiller works for your program needs.

Al at Big Bottom Music NW is a good guy to deal with if you are looking for a JinBao horn. He will treat you right. Sold me a silver-plated JinBao Eb tuba...great transaction.

If you are on a music scholarship and your euphonium performance is involved with said scholarship I would definitely check with your band director and teachers/professors about the suitability of a...
If your situation will allow for a Nirschl I would check out a Schiller (JinBao) euphonium for under $1,000. I have the 3+1 comp euphonium. No issues after 2+ years. Jim Laabs Music sells the...
I obtained a grime gutter for my Schiller from Yamaha over a year ago. It fits the 642. It was free at the time. I contacted a Kurt Witt(kwitt@yamaha.com). I don't know if they are still giving...
The Yamaha teflon coated copper springs for euphonium and tuba can be had at; hornguys.com. At least that's where I obtained mine last year. These springs fit my Schiller comp euphonium. The grime...
