I’ve been playing Euphonium since 6th grade. I’m going to keep going. I knew it was special even tho it wasn’t a popular instrument.

[@josephbarnett4937]

I’ve been playing for 3 years now, I started on the Trombone and my band teacher asked me to switch, now I’ve never looked back.

[@paladino5993]

I also started on trombone and im swapping to euphonium now :)

[@conkers.]

@@paladino5993 dude, im switching to euphonium from trombone

[@pawbiter]

Thanks for posting. I have always loved the trombone but then I bought a used, cheap euphonium with a dented bell and noisy valves. I fell in love with its sweet sound. By now I like it better than the trombone. Just spent some $ to have it cleaned, the dents rolled out, and the valves fixed. So glad I did. It is a fun instrument to play especially because it seems to express emotions.

[@fredrik952]

Clearly does. I've been playing euphonium for 4 years and baritone for like 10. Love playing beautiful melodies more than fast solos. It's made for lyrical music.

[@deebo1186]

This man looks so happy to play his euphonium And I love this instrument, it's sound so warm

[@primesspct2]

warm, apt descriptor.

[@primesspct2]

62 years old and learned a new trick. Thank you Bryce for demonstrating this Euphonium. I had no idea there was such an instrument.. It truly has a beautiful sound.

[@GlennCall]

Great spiel, Chief your love for the Euphonium really shows through! Keep up the “beautiful sound!”

[@davidharrison1860]

Marvelous to play heavy metal. Thank you Bryce for your service. :-)

Really nice sound. Everyone in the Navy Band is a superior musician. Thank you for this! Stay healthy.

Thanks man you really sold me on what I’ll be playing for band! I really appreciate your video

[@slguimaraes8]

Chief Edwards is very talented! I love listening to him playing the euphonium!

[@mayshalomaine5256]

Wow your amazing!. Great commitment and great playing😆

[@johnule3247]

I too am a euphonium player. The number of euphonium gigs in the country is very low. Orchestras don't use them, big bands don't use them, rock bands don't use them. The only place you can get a paid euphonium gig is in the military bands and there's only a few of those available.

[@Abigailchen2004]

I‘m a euphonium player, too. Can relate to everything you said. Love playing it as well. What brand is your euphonium? I‘m looking for a new one and can‘t really decide. Any recommendations?

[@clarissadu5191]

It looks like a Willson Band Instruments Euphonium. Based off their website, it might be a silver edition of a 2900TA or 2950TA. Edit: on WWBW they go for about $8669!

[@jillhopster8455]

Thank you for this! I’d never heard of euphonium before!

[@michaelquillen2679]

Good video. I agree with you, but too many modern school band arrangements and compositions treat the euphonium like a crutch for the trombone section (and I played trombone from 1965-2010). What moved me to play euphonium on the side, was Grainger's, Irish Tune from County Derry back in 1970. I might also add, that I was able to study with the legendary Harold Brasch a bit in the early '70s. As an arranger for school bands (custom arrangements for my bands and friend's bands), I always gave the euphonium a true singing voice in the arrangement. I also tried to select musical compositions for my band that gave the euphonium the chance to sing. Thanks for the great video.

[@vccsnx]

You make me happy Edward

[@crowofwisdom4517]

Your tone is delectable

[@mrajheatley]

I just knew that was gonna be the melody he played as soon as he said it. Danny Boy is always a win and Its always my go to aswell, it always sounds great on a euph

[@bobjacobson858]

I just started playing euphonium, after having played trombone (Conn Director) for a year and then a trumpet (Blessing B-125) since last fall, both instruments having been used, and sold on eBay for ~$125 each. I bought the euphonium from eBay, a new one made in India by Sai Musicals for $287. It's not professional quality, but as my trombone instructor and others at a local music store conceded, it's an excellent value for the money. I'm having a lot of fun with it, and especially enjoy the rich, full sound of the lower notes. Upon getting the trumpet, I started getting 'addicted' to valves but wanted to try a valved lower brass instrument. I had considered the baritone, but decided it would sound much like the trombone, while the euphonium would have a richer sound.

[@405boy4]

I never heard of this instrument 🎷 but it's pretty cool..

[@Bumbleoka]

I was euphoniumiste in the army as well 10 years ago and I miss my euphonium so much

[@nikhiljoshi8767]

I used to play the same instrument for my NCC band in india (I was a exchange student from the us) it’s been 4 years since I played but I am joining the navy and I guess I’ll join the band

[@Thebluegillwhisperer]

Been playing for three years and plan to keep going in high school

[@dlognave]

A euphonium player can probably play the baritone as well, which is kind of cool!

[@Tyrant.162]

He loves playing the euphonium!

[@user-dn1ki5og8k]

this is a crazy coincidence! we have the same name, and i also play euphonium in high school concert band!

[@UpcomingJedi]

Ive never played your euphonium to know if i love it as much as you do and become that neighbor who returns nothing he borrows.

[@progrocker2112]

I get to play beautiful melodies: Danny Boy. Me: Tears.

[@nancychace8619]

Cool instrument. Akin to a French horn? Thanks for sharing, and for your service.

[@bobjacobson858]

No, it's more similar to the baritone (same range) but is built like a tuba, only smaller.

[@viliamimanu4663]

What brand is your euphonium? Still looking for a euphonium.

[@mikestang679]

Way underrated/exploited horn.....great warm tone!

I am a tuba player but I like the euphonium sometimes

[@QuietWyatt2005]

I like Baritone more than Euphonium, I’m a French Horn player at heart, but I bought a 4 valve compensating British Style Baritone Horn and I just love the sound. Euphonium is almost too gentle to me, I find Baritone more versatile.

I didn't realize Euphonium was as big as that, to me it looks like a tuba

[@LarryShone]

@Hailey Cole yea I know, that's what I meant

[@SharkTheTitanOfAmazingStuff]

That is a tuba

[@bobjacobson858]

A tuba is larger, and is pitched at least a fourth lower, with some pitched an entire octave lower than the euphonium. Most tubas are oriented the opposite way, like the mirror image of the euphonium.

[@StevDoesBigJumps]

Goodness me, that thing is absurd.

My band directors son handed me one and now I play euphonium. 😃
