I love these horns. So much so I was able to sell my prized and rare short action adams E3 and make the king my #1 euphonium

The valves are fast and light, the tone is great, the intonation is next to flawless, and the leadpipe is higher than every other euphonium (Great for adults)


Of course I added a 5th valve to mine, something Conn/selmer has no interest in doing. Really makes a great double for a tuba player

Bump for price drop.

I owned an older lacquer one of these for several years and it was a very solid instrument. I also sold mine (not nearly as pretty as this one) for not much less than this. It seems to be priced pretty well.
