Yamaha YEP-642S
Working together with the world-renowned brass band conductor, Bill Millar, Yamaha’s technical staff started with a clean slate creating numerous euphonium prototypes, redesigning each part and component until all agreed that the ideal brass band sound had been attained. This new euphonium delivers a tone that blends well with baritone and tenor horns. Powerful and with excellent projection, it produces the tone color that soloists require in an instrument.
As with all of our instruments at Sweetwater Band & Orchestra, our world-class repair technicians have looked at this instrument to make sure it meets the rigorous demands of today’s players. When you select the euphonium that works best for you, our repair team will be happy to take one more look to ensure you are getting an instrument that is ready to play immediately.
Features
Body Design
The instrument’s main tube utilizes a new design that maintains adequate resistance, delivers a powerful low range and focused high range, and improves dynamics over the instrument’s entire range. In addition to a matured and comfortable tone, this design offers accurate pitch while delivering greater musical expressiveness.
Handrest
Changing the handrest position to allow for a more natural hold on the instrument simplifies fingering and offers smoother performance while playing demanding solo or ensemble passages.

The powerful pedal tones and centered, clear high tones mark the extremes of this remarkable instrument’s capabilities. It is the range of expressive tone in the medium register which is perhaps its most endearing characteristic.
