r/euphonium

Does anyone know much about the Conn CU412 euphonium? I just started renting one for summer so I can audition for the college band. I want to find out as much as possible. Thanks.

I was thinking of giving myself a fun tough project for the summer to get my euphonium skills back up. I'm a utility trombonist and will be playing a concert cycles on Euph this season.

Is the Abblasen a piece thats common for yall to play? I've been going thru Rochuts, Voxmans and Grigorievs to get my euph chops back! But a good piece of rep would be fun as well!

My daughter is a 6 year, 3 valve Baritone player moving on to college in the fall. She is considering taking part in a non graded program the University has, I guess you could consider it and equivalent to "club' level sports. She has the impression that she would need a 4 valve and that her instrument (Jupitor) is not a quality enough instrument. Is that the case? From my recollection of band, Jupitor is a decent mid level name. And if we should be upgrading what brand should I be looking at that is not ridiculously pricey considering this is going to be basically a voluntary, extra curricular program,. Thanks in advance.

Hi, right now, I'm considering buying a used Flugelbone / Marching Trombone off a second-hand seller. I'm a big fan of it's sound, and as a euphonium player, am interested in its more brash tone and possibly easier range. Also, the portability and small form factor make it attractive for me, with it being easier to carry around and store in my college.

I'm mainly a soloist, but have been getting into doing jazz and pep/marching band lately. Do ya'll think it would be a good buy for me?

I don't really have anything to add besides having to say sorry for my bad English.

I'm just curious about, y'know, a four valved euph because I play a three-valved one. Is there any benefit or so or are they just the same with one of them having four instead of three?

Hi!

I am preparing for my senior recital in college. I have 6 months to prepare, and I am planning on performing Harlequin on my recital, as this will by far be the most technically challenging piece on my recital, what fundamentals can I practice every day until the piece arrives that would set me up for success. I am also looking for things to add to my practice routine in general because my practice has gotten stale.

Thanks in advance!

Looking at the WEUQ90S, how would it compare to something like a JP274S?
