For tuba players who double euph, the Yamaha YEP-321 is pretty much the last word in euphoniums. Characteristic tone out the box, effortless playing, consistent and cheap. So for euph players that dabble with the tuba, Yamaha YBB-321 is your answer - low resistance, fast response, nice booming tone without a huge effort, some of the easiest pianissimmos of any tuba.

This one is in great condition- only small dimples of dents to be seen. Worst of it is 3rd valve knuckle, which has a bit of gnarly but presents no restrictions. Bottom and top bows fully dedented!
Most of lacquer - front side of bell is very pretty, and that's the most important thing.

Intonation is great - the partials line up, and the 1-2 combinations are actually in tune! (common yamaha plague for those to be sharp). One odd thing is low F requires 1-3, but it's right on. For me the big thing was (very) low Eb was difficult to obtain, with 124 too low. With 4th long enough for a 14 Eb the 24 notes are still good but 13 required for C which is doable but not optimal. For concert band and orchestral use that note is not much used, it's mostly a brass band concern. At least (very) low D and Db are great.

In Madison WI. Shipping available - possibly Parcel Select 50 lb from 53719 but skirting the dimension requirements. Check "oversize" box.
