About Yamaha Standard and Intermediate Euphoniums

Reliability and durability are the hallmarks of Yamaha Standard and Intermediate Euphoniums. Features such as pressure-formed tubing for a smoother air flow, a lazer-fused pluzuma-welded bell for even vibrations and honed valves for precise fitting of the piston make these euphoniums perfect for developing musicians while still durable enough to stand up to the tough conditions of school use.

YEP-321 Model Options

Yamaha offers a number of variable options for select instruments.

• YEP-321S – Same as YEP-321; except silver-plated

Features

• Honed valves: The precise fit between valve casings and pistons after honing means no air leakage.
• Pressure formed tubing: Perfectly rounded tubing results in less turbulence and a smoother air flow, thus allowing for an excellent scale and reduced resistance.
• Laser-fused pluzuma welded bell: A high-energy laser fuses the brass together for a virtually seamless bell, which allows continuous even vibrations.
• Intonation: The excellent intonation of the YEP-321 helps to foster a feel for correct pitch in beginning players.
• Response: The responsiveness of the YEP-321 assists beginning players in learning the phrasing of the euphonium.
• Available feature: The YEP-321 euphonium is available with a silver-plated finish.
