This was an awesome value because we were able to get my son a new instrument for cheaper than the used ones were being sold for at the local music store chain
and if they get serious about music as they progress further, then make another investment on a higher quality horn as they have then earned it!
Let me personally give you the go ahead to buy this, it is a fantastic value.

The only thing I didn't like was the C comes out very flat
I also purchased a gold 5g mouthpiece seperately and it has improved my experience with this euphonium even further.
The mouthpiece just didn't "feel right" when playing the horn.
I suspect that my perceived intonation issues would improve with a better mouthpiece.
Yamaha’s are known for being great mouthpieces with phenomenal range, but at the same time having the capacity to reach low notes ringing in the low register.

The only thing I didn't like was the C comes out very flat
While it's not a hard-cased one, I promise it doesn't mean the case is flimsy in any way
The soft case or gig bag is very nice, I would have expected to pay at least $100 or more for it alone
Love the case that it came in; it comes with everything it says it comes with
If you do cut the strap off, still be sure to open with the external pocket side facing up, as the weight of the instrument will jerk the case open if you let it, possibly damaging the case
The only negative comments were regarding valves sticking.
all the valves work very well, I had already ordered a 6
The sticky/slow piston issue remains, which makes it virtually impossible to play any fast moving passage, or to play legato from any note that uses a 'slow' valve to one that doesn't.
this instrument is great i have had it for about six months and it is still doing good the valves all work wonderfully and and the tuning slides fit perfectly it has a nice roomy sound even when played loudly or softly
Loud valves and not as mechanically smooth as other instruments
and if they get serious about music as they progress further, then make another investment on a higher quality horn as they have then earned it!
There are some intonation issues with certain notes, but if you actually know what you are doing with the tuning slides and alternate/4th valve fingerings it can be mitigated.
None of the other review's I've read have mentioned intonation issues.
due to possible intonation issues with select notes but it is a fantastic introductory horn or simply just for fun as in my case.
I suspect that my perceived intonation issues would improve with a better mouthpiece.
