Hi from England,
I played a couple of these Euphs.at school,they were very fine instruments in their day and were excellent for us learners. They date around the early 20's, many British brass bands still used them in the '70's !
Is yours high pitch or has it been converted ?
They are obviously smaller bore & bell sizes but gave a lovely sweet sound, something I feel is missing these days with huge bore instruments.
Best wishes, Charley.
