New compensated Euphonium: 551
With its new Euphonium Model 551, the Wenzel Meinl company, located in Geretsried, Germany, achieved once more a great beak through.
As many other instrument manufacturers, we offer a standard compensated Euphonium - well known as the 451 Melton /Meinl model. In comparison to this existing model, the 551 is presented with a completely re-designed bell an an allround optimisation in intonation - especially on the 6th and 3rd partial.
At the same time, the instrument plays with an until now unexperienced warm and big sound.
All the other specification remain unchanged: bore 590in (4th valve .669in) and a bell diameter of 11.8in.
The 551 is exclusively offered in silver plated and is optically
refined with gold-plated top and bottom valve caps.
As an additional option, a main tuning slide trigger is available.
