York EU3068 Preference Euphonium
"The York Euphonium
YO-EU3068 is an example of excellent craftsmanship. A 4 valve
compensating instrument, this euphonium has improved intonation
in the lower register.
The mouthpiece receiver
is not soldered to the bell but connected by only a brace
and allows for free vibration and an enhanced tone. The spring
damper set creates quieter valve action.
The different mouthpipe
position and the smaller bell give a different playing feeling,
compared to the euphonium YO-EU3067, and a more compact sound.
The smaller bore makes it easier to play and ensures a very
clear and excellent sound projection in the high register.
These characteristics make it the perfect choice for soloists
playing with an orchestra"
