whybotherr Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I bought three years ago, my very own marching euphonium, or so I thought. I played on it and it didn't sound right, turns out it was in G (and turns out it was made in 2000) something peculiar I found was that whenever I went above Bb3 the horn played like a Bb horn, but could also play in G. Does anyone know why? Dynasty G Euphonium Manufactured and sold in 2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contra94 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Well there's your problem. It's a DyNASTY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornsUp Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 The name on the bell makes no difference here. The 6th partials on a G bugle are the same pitches as the 5th partials on a Bb instrument. The 7th partials on a G bugle (all noticeably flat to equal temperament) are [almost] the same pitches as the 6th partials on a Bb instrument. If you were to play higher than F4, the fingerings would not be common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whybotherr Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 So it's only Bb3-F4 that it's the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
