Euphonium

To provide more detail, I love this euphonium sound. MuseScore needs euphonium, and I'd say this is pretty good. There are some issues that probably have been addressed but I think it is valuable coming from another user. I write some concert pieces, but also some marching band and drum corps pieces as well, but the music of the marching arts requires a higher demand of music from the euphonium section and low brass in general. Here are some issues I have encountered. For the record, this all happens when I turn the default vibrato off (since I do not want it for a more unified and projected sound for the euphonium section): - When holding out, for example, 2 tied whole notes, without writing a downbeat on the next measure, it plays an unwritten downbeat using the same note it started with. If the held out chord was F, A, and C, it plays an unwritten downbeat with that chord. - The staccato articulation is played at full length, as if there isn't a staccato marking there. This happens with and without vibrato. I wish the sound produced, when notating a staccato, would be shorter like the other brass instruments of MuseSounds. - Notating a staccato creates a louder sound. With or without vibrato. - Some moving notes overlap and create a grace note into the next measure. I think this happened with and without vibrato. These are smaller things, besides the first problem mentioned, but I would greatly appreciate if it were to be fixed. Overall, I like the warm and lyrical sound of this euphonium sound, it's just the aforementioned things ruin it a little bit. It does sound way better than having to use Trombones a3 or a high tuba part to substitute for the sound of a euphonium!

I love most of this, and I do not play the euphonium so this may be an issue stemming from my own lack of knowledge, but I do find it odd that volume skyrockets when notes are marked at staccato. It hurts the quality of many staccato sections in music I’ve written. Other than that, this sound pack is awesome and I am so happy we have something like this finally in MuseScore. Bravo!!

I have been using this for a while and the only issue I found was with crescendos and diminishes. I found that once it reached the mf-mp range it would start to overlap notes. Other than that, it is a significant improvement that I really needed.

When I want it to play at mp the notes clip into each other

I bought this to do some brass band arranging and I am pretty disappointed with the sound quality. The instrument isn’t in tune from octave to octave. The notes themselves - both slurred and tongued - just kinda bleed together without a lot of clarity. When playing with another euphonium, the instruments don’t line up at all. Overall, the sound is very mechanical, thin, and robotic. Compared to the other brass sounds I’m hearing, this is a total let down.

I literally just bought this, so these are my first impressions. The tone is nice, especially in the higher range. Slurs and glisses work well too. Areas for improvement: -needs better, fuller tone in the lower register -needs lighter staccato markings (they sound like accents and painfully stick out), especially with "classical style" -slight timing issues on slurred eighth note passages (noticed one time with "classical") -very subtle at times (especially when slurred) -all options besides "classical" don't decres well; once it reaches a soft volume, it pops back up for a split-second

I’ve already given it a big solo part in a band composition I’m currently working on. I haven’t tried all articulations yet — I don’t really need them at this stage — but both the forte and piano dynamics sound beautiful. The legato is smooth and natural; you can truly make music just by letting it sing.

As a Euphonist, I'm glad we finally have this. Super happy with the range that is given. My only requests/recommendations would be to have an a2/a3 or maybe an a4 for this. Articulations and notes at faster tempos are a bit sloppy and some notes stick out. This is a wonderful start though!

I'm pretty glad to have this, but it could use a small tweak. First of all, the staccato does not "staccato" well as it still sounds like it holds the note for its intended duration. I rewrote Gustav Holsts' Mars Bringer of War and used the euphonium and the staccato didn't work well with the Mars motif.

F#4/Gb4, for whatever, reason, does not sound entirely right. I can't tell if it's sharp an eensy bit or flat, but it doesn't flow very well with its neighbor notes
