Great value for money

11.03.2017

After my really active time was a few years ago, but now a band was founded in Oberkrainer style short term, I needed a low-priced baritone for use at Carnival (Carnival), because I did not want to expose my expensive Besson Euphonium the risk of damage.

The following evaluation should always be seen taking into account the price and the small points of criticism are whining at the highest level.

Packaging:
The baritone arrived neatly packed and undamaged here:

Suitcase:
The price-integrated case is a bit bulky and unwieldy, which of course is attributed to the Bellfront version of the instrument. Nevertheless, one could have used the still abundant cavities inside for additional storage options. With the two included straps you can also carry the suitcase as a backpack, but quite uncomfortable. In any case, the instrument is well protected and free from wobbling.

exterior:
The first impression of the instrument is just great. Even if you take a closer look, you will not notice any errors in the paint finish, in the joints and solder joints, or in the pipe and body processing. I've seen that even worse with more expensive instruments. Looks great.

Interior:
If you pull out the trains or remove the valves, then you can see where the money is with the expensive instruments. Although there are no processing faults, except for a few small metal chips from milling the threads of the valve cover, but differences in material are visible and the trains are not so finely ground, so that they run a little rougher. The valves, when oiled, run very well and without friction.

Speech:
I only tried the delivered mouthpiece for a short time. For the high elevations, it seems to me rather not suitable. I play the instrument with my usual mouthpiece. Thus, the speech comes close to the expensive first instrument almost equally.

sound:
Naturally, the Bellfront sounds a bit harder than the Euphonium, which is just right for the intended purpose. The sound is full and round in all situations and is really fun. 5 Stars.

Conclusion:
The comparison with the Besson Euphonium is actually unfair. Nevertheless: Exam passed and one wonders how such a thing is possible at this price. A professional will certainly feel the subtleties, but for beginners and amateurs or, as I said, second instrument for 'dangerous' inserts an absolutely recommended alternative with great value for money.
