Compared to a compensating instrument, it will only make a difference on relatively few notes, mostly notes you will very seldom if ever play anyway.ĭon't worry about the finish on the horn (silver, lacquer, etc.) People talk a lot about a difference in tone quality, but I'm pretty skeptical about whether it makes much difference in practice, and in any case, it's not a case of one being better than the other. In the third he plays a bossa nova piece, trading solos with Glenn Martin (on trombone).Īs a euphonium player in the band you will probably not find a Yamaha 321 euphonium limiting. Bb Euphonium The YEP-321 is an excellent choice as a second instrument or for the ambitious hobbyist musician. In the second he plays an old standard, Georgia. In the first he trades solos with Al Hirt (on trumpet) in front of a big band.
There are links to three of his performances. Rich Matteson played a 4 valve across Yamaha euphonium as his main instrument. not sure what the price is now, but in general, silver horns usually aren’t that much more expensive than a gold one, so it’d probably be worth shelling out the extra money for a silver horn. when i got my 321 in silver, i paid about $2.4k for it. silver horns are generally a little more expensive, however. I also saw you talking about silver/gold horn preferences in the comments, so i thought i’d just briefly explain: many brass musicians prefer silver because it produces a darker, richer tone quality than gold lacquered horns do.
anyways, i’m rambling, but in my opinion, the 321 is a great horn and will probably suit you well. i know people who pursued performance degrees on 321s.
it’s, by definition, an intermediate level horn, but it’s definitely on the nicer end of that.

The YEP-321S is an excellent choice for pro doublers or serious.
#YAMAHA 321S EUPHONIUM SERIES#
hell, i played barnes third on my 321 and had a great time. The Yamaha YEP-321S Euphonium is a 4-Valve, Silver-Plated Intermediate Series Euphonium. if you’re not majoring in music, then yeah, it’ll do just fine in college band. The 321 has a warm, strong sound, precise intonation and is simple to play. Last edited by RandyL 08-03-2015 at 12:39 PM.Late to the party, but i played a YEP321 for years and it served me well. Bb Euphonium The YEP-321 is an excellent choice as a second instrument or for the ambitious hobbyist musician. Then guess when happens when you grab the handle and pick it up? Not pretty! The clasp-style closures pretty well eliminate this problem. It is easy to close and THINK you have latched style #3 when in fact you have not pushed the top down far enough for the latches to actually catch. In my opinion, the change from #3 to #4 was very good. Personally, I'm especially interested in the date when Style #4 began to be used others may be more interested in the transitions between the older styles.

Style #4 (from an auction that dates the instrument to 2009). Sale 8,950.00 USD Yamaha YSL-882GO Xeno Professional Bb/F Trombone 3,272.99 USD USED Yamaha YTR-6310ZS Professional Bb Trumpet 1,595.00 USD Yamaha YTR-8335IIRS Xeno Bb Trumpet 3,117.99 USD USED Yamaha YEP-321S Euphonium 2,695. Style #3 (from an auction that dates the instrument to 2004). Here are the cases, as far as I know in chronological order (pictures from various eBay auctions). Even better would be authoritative input from Yamaha on the question, if anyone has access to the right person within the company to inquire. If anyone is knowledgeable about the approximate date ranges for the cases pictured below, it would be a service to the euphonium community if you could share your best recollection of the dates when they were used. Of course I realize that a euphonium is not in its original case in every case (ahem). I have googled about a good bit in search of information about the years that these cases were used, as an aid to determine an age range for these instruments. From watching eBay auctions, I have noticed at least 4 different case styles that Yamaha has used with the 321 model (and perhaps others).
