Euphonium pictures (show us your horns!)

That's a beauty!

Here is part of my stable of instruments:

1910 York Euphonium HP/LP

1918 Couturier Conical Bore euphonium

1928 Boosey & Sons Solbron Imperial Euphonium

Mo regular horn is a Sterling Virtuoso, not pictured here. Then there are the guitars, fiddles, mandolins, banjo and piano!

Interesting French job, with both leadpipe & final loop tuning.

Your York really resembles my York Bb tenor horn, just bigger.

The Couturier is actually American! Not only did E.A. Couturier design fully conical instruments, he also avoided sharp turns in the tubing. Yes, you have to spin the horn to empty water! The York is my favorite, unfortunately at high pitch it's near 454 and at low pitch, around 430. It's probably possible to build and extension that would be just right, but I don't know anyone interested in that type of work.

Dan Oberloh in Seattle knows how, if you can convince him to do it.

He did my deVries Saxhorn conversion some time ago.
