The Conn EP655 is a modern Bb euphonium that is consistently designed for practical suitability - for use in training, in music clubs and in ensembles. CG Conn is one of the most traditional names in American brass instrument making; The EP655 is the result of this experience in a contemporary, robust design.
The 14.5 mm / 16.8 mm (0.570″ / 0.660″) double bore is a clever design for an ensemble instrument: the narrower lower area ensures focused response and stable intonation, the wider upper area gives the sound volume and warmth. The 280 mm / 11″ brass bell delivers a balanced, sustaining sound that fits well in wind orchestras and ensembles.
Four valves - three in top action, one in side action - cover the full range of the euphonium. The stainless steel valves are designed for durability and consistent response. Gold brass leadpipe and nickel silver outer slides round off the material concept.

As a professional musician, I tested the EP655 for workmanship and playability: The valves run evenly, the intonation is stable across the entire range. For an instrument in this price range, the equipment with stainless steel valves, gold brass leadpipe and the included Bach mouthpiece is exceptionally complete. A reliable entry-level and training tool from a proven company.
I recommend the Conn EP655 to students, club musicians and ensemble players who are looking for a fully equipped euphonium with robust mechanics and balanced intonation. The double bore construction and included Bach mouthpiece make it a serious choice even for advanced beginners. Case, mouthpiece and valve oil are included - lessons can begin immediately.
