I'm a retired head of music RNCM graduate, ex army staff band French horn player who joined my local section 3 ( winning!) brass band recently by invite on e flat bass, ( Imagine that transition !) Having bought a second hand jp 4 valve bass this year I had no qualms about getting a jp euphonium. It is good to play, very well in tune top g not sharp 4th line d not flat, lovely tone responsive in all registers. I can get a 4 octave chromatic range relatively easily. Whereas budget French horns are invariably awful, this euphonium is close to its £8000 counterparts for a fraction of the price. Top line players might not like my comments but in my opinion grade 8+ players and music students would be more than happy with this instrument it won't hold you back at all. Full marks JP and customer service exemplary.

Euphonium

I am very pleased with the euphonium

Good euphonium Poor mouthpiece quality

The euphonium is good but the mouthpiece isn’t in acceptable quality. The original mouthpiece came with the euphonium is poor that it hurts player’s mouth. The shop sent another one to us after we feedback the issue. The second one isn’t good either but just not hurting the mouth. You can clearly see the scratches on the mouthpiece.

John Packer Euphonium

I love it ! The tone is lovely and it plays beautifully.
I can get the much lower notes with ease too.

Excellent for beginners

Really solid build, excellent intonation, solid case.
Standard sharp 6th harmonic (high F) seen in almost all euphoniums
The harmonics are good up to the 9th harmonic (high high C) where they no longer seem to exist. However, since this is targeted at beginners, this should not be too big of a problem.
However, the tone is not centred enough and has a lot of room to bend the note.
Otherwise, a great instrument for an advanced beginner.
