  Good Points: Very well made and solid in construction. Nothing has come unsoldered or seized up in 9 years of playing. Beautiful tone, especially in the second and third octaves. Responsive. Good valves. Nickel silver outer slide legs and rose brass lead pipe. Lacquer holds up well but some wear in places of skin contact as expected.

  
  

  Bad Points: Second valve slide had a tendency to blow out during fortissimo passages until I added a thin layer of silver solder to the longer inner leg to provide more grip.

  
  

  General comments: An all-round solid and reliable professional quality euphonium, beautifully made and finished. A gorgeous warm tone and a power to match. A pleasure to play.

  This horn is spectacular! Being more than $1,000 under the top-notch considered professional horns, it's like having a $1,000 dollar off sale for buying this horn. Its features, such as intonation and response, are similar, if not better, to the other top euphoniums. Some say that the Yamaha 642 produces a bright-side tone. However, I found this wrong, as the true tone depends on the player himself/herself. And the overall value? Wow! This is a must-try horn.

  Yamaha 4 Valve Lacquer Compensation - This is the perfect horn for the intermediate and advanced player. For the money, you can't get a better buy, and will be far fetched to find a better playing euphonium. Compensating system is great on this horn. Slides easily adjust. Durable design. Can't say enough about the valves!!!! Never have to oil them. Very fast for the size of the instrument. Horn will stay beautiful for years to come.
