[Trombone-l] Equipment Question and Euphonium

[Steve Carr]

I played a 621 almost 20 years ago when helping a student pick out a horn. 
I'm not sure of the specs, but IIRC , it played somewhere in between the 321 
and a 641.  So it could have a leadpipe that would work well with a 321- 
perhaps better than a 641/642 size leadpipe.

In fairness, I'll need to mention one more fact.  You know how people talk 
about yamaha consistancy.  How they almost never make a clunker.  I think 
this paticular instrument was one of the ones the makes you say "almost".
