Largely based on your advice I purchased a Yamaha YEP 321S 4 valved Euphonium.

Other factors include brand availability vs. price, needs of the group I will play with, and a little good luck.

I learned a lot in a couple of weeks. There is a big difference between playing borrowed or issued instruments over needing enough info to buy your own.

For me, it was a big purchase.

With your kind help I feel like my money was well spent. (now, I just hope I can play the darned thing)

It is about as good a horn as this week-end player could afford.
