I would prefer that only the under-30 crowd (I believe I've heard you referred to as "Generation S"...??) attempt to answer this musical riddle.
Regardless: Maybe - to allow others to guess, just answer with this if you know the answer.
================
...so I was testing my new-to-me euphonium against my straight mute for fit/tuning/response (as this bell is a different interior width/taper from that of my previous instrument).
My wife came up and told me about something that possibly (??) could prove to be an "issue", so I played this.
She laughed, but (well...) she's as old as I am...
...so how many of you YOUNGER folks can identify this "excerpt" ?? (You probably ?? will need to turn the sound ON...)

Here's the answer.
(This isn't the precise quote...but I would have to look through this-or-other episodes to find the precise one.)
Only click on it, if you're through trying to remember where you heard it:

Don’t worry Kiddos, I didn’t get that one and I actually watched the show!!

To call that one "arcane" would be kind…

more like McCain…

…I didn’t say it was easy.

…but anyone my age and older knew it instantly on fb.

…so I played it on a 6/4 euphonium. Would you have liked it better on a 4/4 euphonium?

==================================================
NEXT DAY EDIT:

OK...That was a little joke...but it also wasn't a joke:

BOTH FEATURE THE SAME-SIZE LARGE BORE (COMPENSATING VALVESETS) , AND BOTH ARE EUROPEAN-MADE.
(Pictures are with the same corks at the same thickness.)

4/4


6/4

I am an avid TV person (or I used to be) and I know this show. I *might* have… naaaaaaaah — I *never* would have gotten this one, and I am very good at this game as we play it here all the time.

Again, look up "arcane" as this is the very definition of the word.



The last one I missed this badly was Barney Fife's theme on a trombone.

Thanks...
I've been to kolij (even gadget-skoo')
Maybe I should have used it in a sentence, to prove that I'm smart 'n' stuff (??)

lookie..hee'...
I knows it !

I suspect that it was the mute that threw me off.

moot...and ar-bitrary

Put a cork in it.

TRUTH:
Though that rotary kaiser-bariton (American misnomer: "tenor tuba") thing-of-mine bell is even (considerably) fatter,
I had no idea that compensating euphonium bell sizes varied this much in "fatness"...
...Unlike tubas (where "high" isn't actually high at all), the huge bell (combined with a huge mouthpipe and huge valveset bore)
defines that (for a mere/meager doubler - such as myself...and with a "real" euphonium mouthpiece: Wick SM3) the pitches above C began to actually become "work" to play.

compare/contrast:
The brought-back-from-the-dead Yamaha YEP-321 (bloke-attic rediscovered) - with a Schilke 51 stuck therein - "sings" a pretty nice (even for a no-muscle-tone tuba player) E-flat, "up there" (which defines it as an "MSH" (Mars Survival Horn).

bloke "...brea-fus and coffee are getting cold, and I missed the first half of this morning's *Perry Mason episode..."

I'm the right age to have seen it in re-runs (my peers discussed it), but we didn't own a television :-(
My parents thought we'd be better served by reading instead of watching.
On the other hand, I do own a '92 lever :-)
