Just got around to watching a Q&A with Steve Shires from a few weeks ago. He announced that they are working on a prototype euphonium, but no date for it yet.

I had to dig to find it, and it may not work. It was a live event, but hopefully this archive link works...

The Euphonium prototype reference was towards the end.

Interesting. We'll see what happens. Many years ago Thayer was considering making a euphonium, but nothing came of it. But Shires has a much better foundation to work from, so perhaps it will happen. I couldn't tell if he was thinking of compensating or non-compensating, but he mentioned consulting with professional players, so I would assume compensating.Dave Werden (ASCAP)

Knowing the reputation of Shires, I would say the quality of such an instrument would be excellent. Right now I believe the market is a bit overflowing and it would be a limited demand for his euphoniums. The price range may also be a factor.B&S 3046 Baritone/Euphonium

Originally posted by bbocaner View Posti heard about this earlier this year. They are working with a few of the best DC-based military band players, and it'll be Willson-flavored. As someone who owns eight Shires trombones, I am positive it'll be great.- Scott

Yep, that was also mentioned in another thread. Thanks for posting here. I'm planning to give one a good blow at ITEC. The photo makes it look like the valves have a pretty wide spacing, but that could just be one of those "photo things."Dave Werden (ASCAP)

I checked the ITEC exhibitors list at:

Could not find Shires... Does anyone know at which booth/suite will the new euphonium be shown?

I look forward to your reviews after you play test it in ITEC!"Never over complicate things. Accept "bad" days. Always enjoy yourself when playing, love the sound we can make on our instruments (because that's why we all started playing the Euph)"
