After final rehearsals, I've decided on which euphs to use this time around from my vintage collection.

The Suite in F will be played on the Highams 4 valve (non compensating) 'Contesting' model model euphonium in silver plate, of 1914;

and the Morning Song on my Courtois 4 valve (again non compensating) brass euphonium of 1900 (imported by Chappells of Bond Street);

A total of 11 vintage euphs will be on display. All the other works will be on the new Willson 2900.
