yep, a dragon Euphonium.

Looks like a mess, plays pretty good

Who makes that? Curiosity is getting the best of me, but I can't seem to find it with a seach with those terms . . .

look up the Zo dragon tuba

Most likely Zo, which is a Chinese company. I have their "Tiny Dragon" BBb Tuba.

Thanks - got it. I had been searching for "Euphonium" as per this post, not tuba . . . .

Interesting, in an odd sort of way . . . .

' seems to me that the one in F - were it to be horizontalized in design - could function as a compact cimbasso (albeit challenging to hold and play for extended periods of time).

These can't possibly sound like (even) 3/4 tubas.

Much closer than any other 'travel tubas'.

ZO or Wessex needs to build an F-sharp cimbasso to play the Hebrew slaves Verdi chart in Nabucco...

...That tune works my left hand second slide trigger thumb to death.

All those pictures and no one thought to put a ruler or banana next to it for scale.

This guy is being absurdly optimistic, considering that this exact model is listed new for $1158 . . .

everything about it seems absurd, including this somewhat serious-appearing thread here

I dunno . . the Chinese part is a huge detractor, but I do find myself honestly interested in these instruments . . .

If it were cheap enough and I rich enough, I'd have one just to confuse people when they walked in my house.

That's what I hear when they walk in and see my Zo "Tiny Dragon".
