Euphonium with 11" Brass Bell, .580" Bore, and 3 Nickel-plated Valves - Lacquer
The Ideal Starter Euphonium
Whether you’re an educator looking to add to the instrument inventory or a parent buying a starter euphonium for your child, the King 628 Diplomat Student Euphonium is a worthy investment. This student-level euphonium offers great tone, excellent playability, and tried-and-true King build quality. The 628 Diplomat features an upright 11-inch yellow brass bell for robust yet flexible projection. Students will find it easier to create and sustain tones, thanks to the 0.580-inch leadpipe bore. Meanwhile, three nickel-plated, top-action pistons get them started on the right foot and prime them for the switch to a 4-valve compensating model when they’re ready to step up to the next level. The King 628 Diplomat Student Euphonium comes clothed in a lacquer finish that’s easy to maintain and adds warmth to the tone. If you’re shopping for a beginner, you can’t go wrong with the King 628 Diplomat Student Euphonium.
Note:
Dent ‘n Scratch instruments may have minor cosmetic flaw that won’t impact playability and tone.
Helps develop long-lasting skills
Here at Sweetwater, many of us began our musical journeys in the middle school band. So, we know just how important it is to develop proper playing habits. One of the reasons why we’re so excited about the King 628 Diplomat Student Euphonium is the beginner-focused construction. It has three top-action valves and a 0.580-inch bore width that help the player produce a strong buzz, provide proper air support, and encourage proper hand position. The King 628 Diplomat’s superb build quality and thoughtful features make it an ideal starter euphonium.
Delightful yellow brass body
Yellow brass is the most common alloy for brass instruments for a reason. It’s well balanced, tonally flexible, and just looks amazing onstage. For that reason, King built the 628 Diplomat Student Euphonium with a yellow brass body and an 11-inch bell! The bell offers excellent response in all registers and is capable of serious projection when you add more breath support. Above all, the body is equilibrated, making it a piece of cake to control — and saving you money on dent removal bills. Whether you’re buying for yourself, a new player, or your band program, we can’t recommend the King 628 Diplomat Student Euphonium enough.
