Hi, i'm a euphonium player too, welcome to tMP!

[pocket euphonium90]

Just out of interest. What euph do ya play?

[Euphonomium]

An old style Besson Sovereign, you?

[pocket euphonium90]

Sterling Virtuoso, Iv tried the sovereign but i just cannot get on with it. I find it super hard to fill for some strange reason. Maybe because i only hav little lungs hehe! :biggrin:
Although my friends would argue that"!:tongue:

[Euphonomium]

I've never tried one of those, how does it compare?

[pocket euphonium90]

IN my opinion. Much better! They have a real clarity to their sound and are much more lightweight. The upper register is excellent, and there is fairly few tuning problems apart from the f's which are sharp but most are. Im hooked on them.
