Hi everyone,
Doing a small cleanout and wanting to sell some eupho mutes & mouthpieces that I am not using anymore. Items located in Australia. Prices below are in Australian dollars (so please do...
Hey all,
I just had a few questions regarding an Adams E1 euphonium. I am looking at ordering in some leather grips through LSC for an Adams E1 euphonium - primarily grips for the left hand around...
Hello everyone,
I am currently running on a Bach 4G mouthpiece (standard model) in gold plate, which I have really liked ever since moving to it last year. However, I am interested in looking to...
Update: Instrument has been sold.
UPDATE: SOLD
For sale is my Yamaha YEP-642SII Neo Euphonium (Serial Number 538774) for $5,500 AUD. Purchased brand new in 2017 for my undergraduate music studies. Professional model in silver...
Springs - normally every six months. Reason I replace them often is due to the plastic coating wearing off the Yamaha factory springs.
Felts - normally every six months as well.
Water key corks -...
From my understanding, early on in the production of the 956, there was a water key placed on this loop. However, later on in the instrument's production life, this water key was removed.
I don't...
Definitely an interesting choice. I have seen numerous orchestras opt for the euphonium if a 'tenorhorn' or equivalent (usually a German rotary-valve baritone) is not available. It certianly makes...
Hi all,
I am in the process of doing a clean out and selling off some of my mouthpieces that I don't use anymore. Pictures included.
1. DW SM4X Ultra. Silverplate. Purchased brand new in 2015....
I am currently using an SM4 with mine. Seems to work okay.
Yes because the SM4X has a shallower cup compared to the SM4.
Hi everyone,
I was wanting to see if there is anywhere I could purchase a grime gutter to attach on to the bottom of the 4th valve of a Yamaha Neo (similar to what Wilson make for their...
Another suggestion is Sparke's Fantasy for Euphonium. It is high Grade 8/ATCL level and it sounds fantastic with wind orchestra. It is a bit demanding on range and triple tonguing, but if you can...
Ohhh gosh what an old thread haha. To try and put it in a nutshell, since then, I have moved to a Yamaha Neo eupho, and using an SM4 gold plated mouthpiece. I found the 4AL in the Heritage a bit too...
I have always found the valves on German Sovereigns to be very good. Some rate Besson valves as the best on the market. But Besson still seem to lack the overall consistency compared to Yamaha (even...
However there are a few people who play the new Sovereigns over the Prestige, but not too many. Everyone is different.
Hi Ron,
I might chime in here because I currently own a Neo, and I have played on the Custom and Maestro as well. Yes, there is a problem with the high Ab concert on 1st valve. It seems to have...
No it is fully developed by Yamaha.
I have known about the trigger Yamaha have been designing for a couple of years now (from some inside information). They have been in prototype stage for a while and have now just fully been...
Regarding the Yamaha Neo, it has very good intonation. It is the best of all Yamaha euphs (even the Custom) and even without a trigger, it is pretty well spot on. There are a few tendency notes, by...
If the Sovereign is a large-shank 967 (either B&H Round Stamp or Besson), plays well, and it is in good condition, then I would go with that. A good Sovereign will definitely get you through...
I have played a few of the new German 967s. They are very well built and the response is probably one of the best I found out of any euphonium model on the market (possibly due to the thinner metal...
On the new Besson Sovereign 955's and the Yamaha Neo baritones, the 3rd valve slide has been shortened compared to previous models to alleviate this issue.
That seems odd that you are having troubles with the mouthpiece sitting correctly, especially that both Yamaha and Schilke are highly reputable brands. It may be best to try some other large shank...
