Unique benefits

The development of the "Neo" line of brass band instruments utilizes some of the top talent in the world. The new YEP-642 II was designed with input from renowned euphonium teacher Bill Millar and acclaimed soloist Steven Walsh.

• The compensating system found on the YEP-642 ensures accurate tuning on all notes throughout the instrument's range, particularly in the difficult low range
• Hand-lapping valves and slides ensures an absolutely perfect fit and seal between the valve pistons and casing or slide parts. Such a perfect fit helps to achieve smooth air flow and smooth action and improve the response and intonation of the instrument
• Monel pistons are resistant to corrosion and are an ideal choice for professional baritone pistons which must retain precise fit and smooth action over many years
