Eastman’s EEP421 Student Euphonium offers the playability, durability, and tone needed to help foster a student’s musical development. It’s pitched in Bb with a 0.571-inch bore for comfortable breath support and proper technique. Meanwhile, the yellow brass body and 11-inch bell create a warm and resonant tone that slots perfectly into the school band. For outstanding playability and pitch accuracy, Eastman outfitted this euphonium with four top-action pistons complete with ultra-durable stainless steel valves. Musicians at Sweetwater particularly appreciate the rose brass leadpipe. It resists moisture-related corrosion and adds a warm quality to the tone. Finally, this model comes in a spectacular silver-plated finish that sparkles onstage.If you’re looking for a stellar student euphonium, be sure to audition the Eastman EEP421 Student Euphonium!

Built to go the distance





It’s no secret that students are hard on their first instruments. Eastman knows this, which is why the EEP421 sports a robust feature set. This euphonium has stainless steel valves, which stand up to playing wear better than other alloys. The rose brass leadpipe resists moisture-related damage ? a massive plus for students. What’s more, the sturdy braces and joints withstand accidental bumps and bruises. With its durable design, the EEP421 Student Euphonium is an excellent choice for young musicians and band programs.





Features fit for students





Student-level instruments need to be more than simply durable ? they must support proper development for the player. The EEP321’s yellow brass body and upright 11-inch bell create a warm tone that’s an excellent fit for concert bands and classical playing. Furthermore, the well-balanced body leaves the player free to practice their instrument instead of fighting to keep it in place. This euphonium features a 0.571-inch bore, providing plenty of breath support for players new to the instrument. The EEP321 lays a solid foundation for any student to build their musical skills.





Eastman: crafting fine instruments since 1992





Accomplished flutist Qian Ni founded Eastman in 1992 after graduating from the Boston University School of Music. Similar to Sweetwater, Eastman started as a one-man operation, with Ni selling instruments out of the back of his car. Today, Eastman is a global maker of musical instruments, but they’ve never lost sight of their humble beginnings. Players ? both students and professionals alike ? searching for an instrument with outstanding sound, comfortable playability, and traditional craftsmanship will find exactly what they’re looking for from Eastman.
