"Symphonic" Brand Instruments?
Posted: Sat Nov 06, 2004 4:14 am
Hello All:
I'm currently teaching at a University in Thailand, and while I was out on the town I managed to check out one of the local music stores. I was surprised to see that they actually had euphoniums in stock. The only name I found on the horns is "Symphonic". There is no model number or any other marking. I was wondering if anyone out there has heard of this brand. It' s incredibly hard to find any other brand besides Yamaha and the markup is incredible. The University here just bought a Yamaha YBB-641 for $10K but its the going rate here. This instrument is selling for about $900; I know you get what you paid for, but one of my kids is playing on an 30year old baritone.
Any info would be great. Thanks.
