If i believed my eyes (or at least a first impression there of) is this the mythical triple bell euphonium?

Nah, that that is the bell of another instrument hanging next to it mostly off screen (and casting a portentous shadow).

And the thing somewhat obscuring the valves is the name card for the instrument hanging at an oblique angle.

Thanks for the visual stimuli!
