Our forum host, David Werden, just created a new page on his website on how to choose a euphonium. He already has an excellent write-up here, but added a second page to include a panel discussion from 2007 IEI in Atlanta, GA on this subject. (IEI stands for: International Euphonium Institute)

Members of this Panel contributing to this discussion included: Brian Bowman, David Childs, David Werden, Eugene Dowling, and IEI's host, Adam Frey. There's a link on that pg where you can download the mp3 file of the recorded discussion along with a transcription of that recording to read. There are some very good recommendations for anyone considering purchasing a new horn.

Here's the link to the new page:
