![]() ![]() I’ve never seen the need to have it addressed. There is one area of the bell where it flexed during shipping. There are a few minor dings and scratches. Overall, this euphonium is in very-good to excellent condition. It has two tiny things that are imperceptible from the inside of the tubes and does not affect functionality or playing. It is silver plated and in excellent condition. It is the aftermarket Stauffer model that was manufactured by Kanstul and available from Horn Guys for several years. The parts are genuine Yamaha I believe it is from the YEP-621 model. I had the original lead pipe and receiver swapped out so that it is now large shank. I have played it infrequently, as it is for my doubling needs I’m primarily a trombone player.Ībout two or three years ago I had this euphonium modified. I bought it from the original owner who used it for a few years in high school and then put it away after graduation. I am the second owner of this instrument. It includes the original gray case the same as the Yamaha black version for that era. It has the plastic valve guides still in use on modern Yamaha euphoniums. As far as I can tell, this euphonium was manufactured sometime in the 1990s. Yamaha manufactured euphoniums for Holton and Bach. ![]() It is NOT the newer Holton B490R (Weril H980) made by Weril. This is a Yamaha YEP-321 Euphonium stenciled as a Holton B302R. It includes a Stauffer (Kanstul) plug-in rotary fifth valve.Īsking price: $2100 obo (includes US shipping) This horn will be on display at Trombone Day LA at Cal State Fullerton this Saturday February 6, 2010.For sale is Yamaha YEP-321 Euphonium that has been modified with a Yamaha large shank receiver. Then you can play Strauss all you want - just pull the slide out a bit before the low riff, in the same way that a single valve bass trombone player might pull the F-attachment to E before a menacing riff. Would this be worth doing? The idea is that if you tune the 3rd valve to equal 2+3, it's Belgian style tuning, and you can then play a low C in-tune with only 4 valves. A long slide could be made and it would still go all the way in. But today I noticed that even though the inner tubes are short, Yamaha didn't fill up the inside of the long outer tubes, so there's a gap in there. I believe these long slides tended to get stuck easily, so sadly, they now put a short slide in there. You could pull it out to tune the 3rd valve to 2 whole steps (like 2+3). On another note, the old Yamaha 321 euphs had a long 3rd valve inner slide. So what's the TubeNet opinion? Is this a good frugal alternative to the pricey compensating euphonium for those who like to play low? What should the tuning be? Flat whole step? Flat half step? Both? And what do you think it's worth? (Inquiring minds want to know.) Yamaha actually made this part at one time, but it's been long since discontinued. And you can take it off when it's not needed. You just get your left thumb in there, and it's easy to reach. Low C and B are no problem to play in tune. The rotor can be set to flat 1/2 step, for a 4+5 low E, or flat whole step for a 4+5 low Eb. It's like having a German-style valve setup on a piston euphonium. It's a rotary valve that fits onto the 4th valve slide of a Yamaha 321 euphonium, making it a 5-valve model. I'm helping some friends out by testing this new toy. ![]()
