I bought the baby euph from Andrew.
He shipped promptly, and it arrived in great condition.
This is the first time I've played a Maly, and I'm impressed with it. Fit, finish, action, all above average.
As for as playing it goes, it does so easily. Simply put, it is fun to work it.
The intonation is good, but it is very easy to lip it all over the place, just don't push it too hard.
Air that fills my Besson will overpower the Maly and the tamber suffers.
The tone is certainly different from a full-on euph, but it is more mellow than my York Tenorhorn.
It's first gig will be at the Tombstone Tuba Christmas next month. It ought to fit in just fine.
