I love the way you set up this review, especially the part about the sound with all the frequency spikes etc, it really makes for a good insight in why the instrument has the sound qualities that it does. Great review!
This is brilliant! You, alone, have moved well beyond the subjective review and added actual science, and therefore have validated. In the eyes and ears of all, your subjective opinion. Thank you! Will you compare the Besson Sovereign and the Prestige soon? Or perhaps the Prestige and the Yamaha Custom? Keep up your fine work!
From my experience, the Prestige is heavier and has a slightly darker tone. However, the sovereign has a free floating lead pipe that a lot of people really like! There are a few more differences but those are a couple that come to mind. You really have to play them to get a good idea of how the horns work for you :)
I've read the Sovereign had some noticeable intonation issues that they worked out on the Prestige. That's just what I read, no 1st hand confirmation...
Having played Besson Prestige and the Geneva Symphony for a number of years the last 8 months Playing the Yamaha Neo has been excellent. This is a great horn.
The first 10 sec of your video says it actual all. I like the sound of the Neo a lot more. Much ritcher and darker sound whitch fit the instrument euphonium a lot more from my opinion. i did watch the whole video offcourse. Thanks for this comparisson. I still have a doubt between the Neo and de BE967. Could you point out the differences between the BE967 and the 642S Neo ??
And, I just realized that you were referring to something different when you said trigger system. Mine is compensating, so I thought you were referring to that.
Great comparison . Thank you Do you have comparison between Yamaha 842 , Yamaha 642 and Besson Prestige 2052 ? If you don’t have a video yet comparing this euphoniums and because I know you played all this euphoniums , ( Yamaha 842 , Yamaha 642 and Prestige 2052 ) can you tell which euphonium you like better ?
Thank you! I don't have a direct comparison video of three horns together, but if you asked my opinion, I'd say the current 842 model is most complete option
What is the name of the piece playing at the end of the video? Still torn between the Custom and the Neo as to which one to get, but I LOVE the tone on the Neo. That might decide it for me.
Just got the neo after years of saving and just now getting my chops back. Im having trouble with the high Aflat. Im often hitting the c above it… I know I’m probably pinching since I’m getting my chops back, but it seems like a tough note on the instrument. All the other notes are up there are coming out clear. Advice?
I just bought a custom and played on a neo(no trigger) for 5 years prior through school. I agree with pretty much everything in this video- and custom’s ergonomics are truly worse for tall people :/
Euphonium is good to start brass instruments, because it's lighter than tuba and easier than trumpet (I play eupho and trumpet is hard for me). All brass instruments are easy to play, and they are all hard to play really good. So you can begin with euphonium, as well as any other brass instrument
The 642 Neo is one of the best euphoniums I've ever played!

I just ordered a Neo today and I’m watching this to hype myself up lol. Love that traditional tone
I bought one euphonium neo 642 TS I hope it will play very well. What about it? Somebody can say something to me?
2nd upload today, hopefully no more dumb editing mistakes :D Enjoy, share, like and comment my friends! Best, A
I use the trigger often, but never thought to use half, or 3/4 trigger to make tuning adjustments. So, yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Hey could you do a comparison on the besson prestige and the sovereign
From my experience, the Prestige is heavier and has a slightly darker tone. However, the sovereign has a free floating lead pipe that a lot of people really like!

Great video Matonizz! Would love to see a Wilson 2900 vs Wilson 2950 comparison. Or a Besson Prestige vs Sovereign
the video some of us has been waiting for! thank you!
I prefer 842’s clear sound as well.
Having played Besson Prestige and the Geneva Symphony for a number of years the last 8 months Playing the Yamaha Neo has been excellent. This is a great horn.
Hey 1:34 favorite song 💕🤧 comes out in one of my favorite French movies
I have a 641 that both the 642 & 842 were developed from, & a 842. Both very good.
Both have silver plating issues where I hold them.

Hey...could you please do a review on the Yamaha Yep 321 series Euphonium? I’d really like to hear what you have to say about it🙌🏻
My suggestion would be not to buy it when you can get a compensating euphonium like JP274 for lower price.
Matonizz Thanks for the advice👍🏻
@@djphillips967 Anytime my friend!
And, I just realized that you were referring to something different when you said trigger system. Mine is compensating, so I thought you were referring to that.
I would use the custom in a big band environment and the Neo for solos
This is a great idea! I will buy one of each, thank you.
@@joamon559 haha you must have alot of money laying around
How does intonation on these instruments compare to the Adams instruments?
Great comparison . Thank you
Do you have comparison between Yamaha 842 , Yamaha 642 and Besson Prestige 2052 ?
If you don’t have a video yet comparing this euphoniums and because I know you played all this euphoniums , ( Yamaha 842 , Yamaha 642 and Prestige 2052 ) can you tell which euphonium you like better ?

@@Matonizz Thank you for your answer .
Yamaha Custom sounds more like a Tuba, the Yamaha Neo sounds more like a Euphonium. Timbre wise
I wish bright on music could deliver to places like florida, but it looks like they only do school districts in Pennsylvania :(
They do deliver to Florida and anywhere in US, is there any section on their website that says otherwise? :o
@@Matonizz Under instrument rentals (since i dont really have the finance to purchase one straight up) my school district isn't listed.
can you do a review of the Schiller Elite V euphonium
Richie Moring IV he did
Cornel Botnaru I recall him reviewing the Schiller Elite without the “V” but not with the “V”
Richie Moring IV the Schiller Elite V is the same horn as the Wessex Dolce, just with a trigger
Great video, thanks Matonizz. I play a sterling virtuoso. What do you prefer: yamaha besson or sterling?
Do the willson 2900 ta
What is the name of the piece playing at the end of the video? Still torn between the Custom and the Neo as to which one to get, but I LOVE the tone on the Neo. That might decide it for me.
What was the piece you played in the beginning? I’d love to listen to whole thing.
The Force of Destiny

24:24 You can buy it at a great deal!
When does the code expire for the discount?
No expiration date at least as of yet
What is the excerpt being played here in the beginning?
Forza del destino
It’s the cornet solo I believe might be wrong but from what I can remember from playing the euphonium part. Hope this helps
Which do you like custom and neo?

What mouthpiece are you using?
I just bought a custom and played on a neo(no trigger) for 5 years prior through school. I agree with pretty much everything in this video- and custom’s ergonomics are truly worse for tall people :/
Don't agree with tall ergonomics. I have no problem with the custom
@@keithperry4945 Over time I have gotten used to it, although it is still a bit awkward at times for me, especially while standing.
I heard that the euphonium isn t a begginer s intrument. What should I beggin with if I want to play the eupho?
Euphonium is good to start brass instruments, because it's lighter than tuba and easier than trumpet (I play eupho and trumpet is hard for me). All brass instruments are easy to play, and they are all hard to play really good. So you can begin with euphonium, as well as any other brass instrument
You have god lips
What mouthpiece are you playing on?
I think he plays a Parker Mouthpiece. I don’t know if it’s a custom mouthpiece or if it’s the Lance LaDuke 5G-51D.
I’m really won’t it
