Has anyone tried one of these?

There is a discussion of it here. Also, look within that discussion for a link to a review of the horn:

Dillon Compensating Euphonium

[Bob Kolada]

That seems kinda high. Different kind of horn here, but I think it's a better double for a tuba player, is much better priced, and you have wrote something about low trombones too-

I believe it would also fall under their free shipping. It also comes with an Eb slide (for one valve or for G on the short valve?)- cool!

I can't speak to the Dillon Comp Euph but I did own one of the non-comp versions for a couple of years before selling it to someone on this forum. I found it to be decently made, with good valve action, and a nice even sound. I don't know if the source for the comp is the same as for the non-comp but I have enough faith in Dillon's good reputation.

I'm actually curious about Dillon's "british" style baritone, selling for $795. I've not noticed it before but it seems to have been around for a couple of years. Has anyone played one? It this a copy of the Yammie YBH-301?

The baritone is made by Huashen. Here is picture of one (left) in their showroom with travel/mini tuba on right of picture.

Being made by Huashen, I think it will be well made.

The 301 is a three-banger. Yammy's 3+1 is the 621.
