UMI still markets their non-compensating horns as their artist line. The King euph with the four upight valves is quite good and has a very big "tenor tuba" type sound. I was also interested to see that King is also still making an upright bell side (front) action euphonium. Both of these, having four valves, can be called a "Professional" euphonium.
I know a lot of guys don't use these much anymore, but I still think that they are a viable and affordable alternative for a step up from the three valve school horn.
