The JP374 Sterling Euphonium has just been reviewed by Mike Howley, solo euphonium with Desford Colliery Band, and a former principal euphonium with top flight giants Brighouse & Rastrick and Yorkshire Building Society (YBS).
Fantastic collaboration
Staff at John Packer Ltd recently caught up with Mike who has been trying out the JP374 Sterling, the fantastic new collaboration with brass design luminary Paul Riggett, formerly of Boosey & Hawkes.
On discussing the instrument with Grenville Moore of John Packer, Mike revealed he was suitably impressed.
"It’s a triumph of musical engineering. How can such quality be so affordable?
I’ve been using the euphonium as a soloist and in the euphonium section of a top flight brass band and it’s perfectly at home in both environments. The tone is true at the extremes of pitch and throughout the dynamic range."
All about sound
He added: "The euphonium is all about sound. With the JP Sterling Euphonium I can create the very personal sound which is in my heart and in my soul. That's simply not possible on many of the much more expensive brands."
The JP374 Sterling is available now from £1,908.
