Wow. Larry. Selling this? Did it not agree with you? I'm so attached to mine that it will have to be pried from my cold, dead fingers. Curious why you're electing to let it go, but I also know you own several euphoniums and that for me would be a challenge just to keep them all maintained. In terms of sound satisfaction for you, how did it compare to the others you play regularly.

Lovely instrument - would have been ideal for me but alas I don't have that much money to throw down for it + shipping costs I'm sure it'll make its next owner very happy!

[Arnbone Euph]

Hmmm. Didn't know about needing to delete private messages; I will do that. And I appreciate the response.

Done. Message folder now empty and ready for new messages.

Given the reason I'm selling this...I'm willing to make someone a good deal on it (especially if it would go into the hands of someone who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford a horn of this caliber).

So, PM me if you are interested.

So much intrigue!

So much intrigue!

Eastman [Music Company] heard about my story (read here: http://www.dwerden.com/forum/showthr.....specifically, how music has been such a rehabilitative force in my recovery journey.

Last thursday (11 May 2023) during community band rehearsal, I was presented with an Eastman EEP526s euphonium on behalf of Eastman and Eckroth Music.

So, I'm Team Eastman now.

Thanks Jim!

Now we need to talk about having you arrange some music for me.

Whaddya want?

Whaddya want?

Not sure. I know I want a piece or two that would be fun for a group that we are pealing off from our community band (so nothing super difficult…variety of skill levels). Something where the melody hops around and highlights everyone.
