XO 1270S Professional Compensating Euphonium - Silver-plated
Bb Euphonium with 12.2" Yellow Brass Bell, 0.590-0.660" Bore, Yellow Brass Body, and 3+1 Valve Configuration with Compensating Tuning System - Silver-plated
Made for the Discerning Euphonium Player
When you play a truly special euphonium, you know it right away. That indescribable “it’ factor is what XO attempts to bring to each of their instruments. The XO 1270S professional 4-valve compensating euphonium offers a mellow tone with the authoritative projection needed to hold its own in a low brass section. This euphonium features a yellow brass leadpipe, body, and bell for a traditional sound. Sweetwater especially appreciates the oversized bell wire, which controls harsh overtones for a warm and traditional sound. Beyond that, players can expect a familiar playing feel from the 3+1 valve layout and stainless steel pistons. There’s also a fully compensating system onboard for spot-on intonation in the low register. The 1270S comes clothed in a silver-plated finish that adds an extra pinch of brilliance to the overall sound.
12.2-inch bell with oversized bell wire
If you’re looking for a euphonium that pumps out mellow tones, you’ve found it. The XO 1270S comes equipped with a 12.2-inch yellow brass bell for clarity and projection. Beyond that, the bell has an oversized bell wire which helps control the brighter overtones of the silver-plated body. From the moment you play your first notes, you’ll be treated to soothing tones that slot perfectly into the ensemble.
Fully compensating tuning system
The XO 1270S comes complete with a 3+1 valve configuration and fully-compensating tuning system — a helpful addition for low register playing. The compensating system allows the 1270S to play in tune throughout the euphonium’s playing range. You’ll enjoy tight intonation and improved durability, courtesy of the stainless steel pistons. Players at Sweetwater report that the 3+1 valve configuration offers a familiar playing feel and gives them greater control over the instrument.
XO brass meets the mark for today’s top players

The company's specially tailored features enhance the experience of the performer with incredible sound, clarity, and resonance at all volumes, in all venues, and under any performance demand you may encounter.
