John Packer Euphonium JP274 B Flat Golden with Case

The John Packer JP274 is a high performance euphonium for professionals or semi-pros. 4-piston plywood bass, in B flat. 

John Packer spared no effort to build this instrument. Solid, with a consistent sound and a performance that satisfies the most demanding of players, the JP274 is a bombardino to be reckoned with. The euphonium is a chromatic instrument, smaller than the tuba, tuned in B flat. It is widely used in philharmonic bands, but also in orchestras and jazz ensembles.

The JP274 is a euphonium that uses the compensated system. In addition to the three pistons, it has one more side, so that it is possible to play a finely tuned chromatic scale. The euphonium is also known as euphonium, which means “beautiful sound”. The JP274's sound is more than beautiful: it's full and well defined, delivered by its 12-inch (30cm) bell, but keeping all the subtlety and smoothness characteristic of this instrument.

Made from brass, the first thing you notice when you pick up a JP274 is its robustness. Anyone who tries it is impressed by the quality of construction, from the pipes to the piston mechanism. And as soon as life and music breathe into it, the intonation of this instrument surprises even those who are used to playing in other more expensive models.

The JP274 is manufactured by John Packer, the English brand that is making wind instruments accessible to everyone, with the highest quality, using the best construction techniques, guided by respected musicians. It is the preferred music education brand in the UK, with over 40 years in the market. Manufactured to a high standard of quality, all John Packer instruments have a 3 year warranty covering any manufacturing defect.

So that you can store the JP274, when you buy this instrument you also have a very resistant hard case, a set of accessories to keep it in good condition, and a John Packer mouthpiece.

Designed for instrumentalists who need a reliable instrument with advanced technical features, the JP274 does not stand out among other bass guitars, thanks to its responsiveness in execution and sound capacity. It's worth its weight in gold, but it costs a lot less.
