Euphonium John Packer JP374L Sterling B Flat Lacquer with Case

The John Packer JP374L is a professional range euphonium for demanding musicians. 

John Packer collaborated with Paul Rigget, from Sterling Brass, to design this instrument and the results are remarkable: the JP374L is a euphonium with a consistent sound and a performance that satisfies the most demanding of instrumentalists. It's the result of combining professional-grade Sterling components and design with the affordability and durability associated with John Packer.

The John Packer JP374L euphonium uses the offset system. In addition to the three valves, it has one more, so that it is possible to play a tuned chromatic scale. The JP374L's sound is full and well-defined, delivered by its 304.8 mm (12-inch) bell, and clearly conveys the subtlety and smoothness characteristic of this instrument.

The John Packer JP374L is made from brass with a Sterling Gold finish. The tubing is 15 - 16.8 mm (.590 - .661 inches) wide. Anyone who tries it is impressed by the build quality, from the piping to the piston mechanism. And as soon as they blow it, the intonation of this instrument surprises even those who are used to playing other, more expensive models.

Paul Rigget is one of the UK's leading and most respected wind instrument designers and manufacturers. Paul previously worked as a production manager at Boosey & Hawkes before creating Sterling Musical Instruments in 1987.

Euphonium is also known as euphonium, which means "beautiful sound". It 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 JP374L is manufactured by John Packer, the UK's preferred music education brand with over 40 years in the business. Manufactured to a high standard of quality, all John Packer instruments have great sound quality.

Designed for instrumentalists with advanced technical skills, the John Packer JP374L euphonium has an excellent performance response and an above average sound capacity. The JP 374 Sterling offers players a professional-grade instrument with high-quality components at a highly affordable price.
