My son is currently a junior in high school. He has been in the band program since 6th grade. He started with the trombone, moved to a tuba for a few years, and this year, his teacher asked him to play the euphonium. He loves the euphonium, so we have started looking to get him one. He is currently using a Besson BE765, it is a school horn. He intends to stick with band in college, possibly looking at getting a minor in music. He is looking at Veterinary school, so long term, not so sure how much, or what he will do music wise after college. His high school band director has recommended possibly getting a Mack, as the school has purchased a few of them over the last 5 years or so. None of them are euphoniums, they are various other brass instruments though. Obviously I would love to get him one of the higher end models, but $2,000 is about as far as I can push the budget. Also, he wants the 4th valve on the side. He has been doing real well in band, making numerous, all fest, and all region bands, and this year made it to the last cut of all state band, before just falling short. Any help, and advice is greatly appreciated. I am an ex football player, turned band junkie thanks to my son. Thanks again,
Minkster
