Another fine Willson euphonium. This has all the same features of the 2900S model but has a bigger bell to give even more color to the sound. Especially designed for the seasoned player.

Flawless Sound!

I recently purchased the Willson 2950 Euph and I fell in love with the sound after the first note I played. The euph produces a warm dark and rich tone that you can't help but love. I've played on the Yamaha 842 and the Besson Prestige and Sovereign but they can't compare in sound and tone. I had read reviews claiming that the 2950 had a muddy tone almost like a tuba; it doesn't. The bigger bore and larger bell require lots of air but if you have the skills, it plays like a dream. I've played on the Willson 2900 and the differnce between the sound of the two horns is miniscual. They both sound professional grade. Another plus concerning the WIllson euphs is that the spit catcher corks are neoprene and actually insert up into the spit hole. If you are looking for a dark and rich sound, look no further than the WIllson 2950.

I am currently a performance major at the university of North Carolina at Charlotte and I play one of these horns. I do not own my own yet, but I am using one of the new university's horns. The sound on the Willson is exceptional but it is very difficult to play when you first start. For those who have fallen in love with the free blowing power of the besson or yamaha like I have, this is DEFINITELY a diificult horn to play. The high register is not nearly as clear and open as the besson and the intonation is even worse, though I have to admit that the low register, given the right mouthpiece, you can easily emulate a strong, low sound, and I mean tuba strong low sound. It's a great horN, if you know what you're doing. NOT FOR THE FRESH OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL HOT SHOT!!!

I purchased this horn about two years ago and have been playing like crazy ever since. This horn produces a great sound. I have had no problems with anything on the horn. Very durable. Would recommend this to any one. It does have a very large bore and takes a little more air than maybe the 2900 or other brands but nothing to truly be concerned about. Hope this helps.
