Description
The quality of the OEP1500’s brass and the strong stays make this a very sturdy build, that can be felt when you hold it. With its 13″/330.2mm diameter bell, the Odyssey Premiere ‘Bb’ Euphonium has a superb, wide sound projection and excellent voicing within the mid-frequencies. Delivering honey sweet tones that sing between the horn and tuba, this gorgeous instrument with a striking silver plated brass body, gold lacquered brass caps slides and water keys, is equally at home as a solo instrument, or in ensembles, whilst also having a significant role in traditional brass bands. Whilst the visual concept of the Odyssey Premiere ‘Bb’ Euphonium is indeed, stunning, Odyssey has paid meticulous attention to the playability of this superb instrument. The unrivalled depth and tone is enhanced with a ‘super smooth to operate’ compensating four valve system, improving air flow, enhancing the lower registers and assuring accurate tuning and intonation through the range. A real feel good factor.
As a company producing some of the world’s finest brasswind instruments, Odyssey recognise the fact that protection whilst travelling with a delicate instrument is paramount. To ensure players can maintain a high standard with this instrument, Odyssey has included gloves and a cleaning cloth, whilst a plush lined, robust zero-gravity ‘back pack’ hard foam, canvas covered case with shoulder straps, takes all the worry out of commuting with such a delicate instrument.
