cheap/beater (potentially: good-playing...??) name-brand euphonium
Posted: Sat Nov 13, 2021 10:53 am
I just stumbled across this on ebay.
It's a Yamaha-made (defacto) YEP-201 Holton stencil in beater condition...but the seller claims that the valves and slides move.
Pictures of the upper bow reveal it to be (apparently: not crushed, but...) pretty sorry-ass (would not scare me off - were I interested - but it might trouble someone else...??)
If you're an orchestral tuba player, don't like the idea of a $12,000 euphonium for "doubling", but might encounter The Planets or Bydlo (neither of which require a 4th valve - much less a compensating 4th valve), this could be something for you...(??)
It's shown as completely missing the mouthpipe (likely: just as well
)
Here is the Yamaha replacement part number for the mouthpipe tube and receiver:
(Consult your local repair-guy.)
