NEW or USED 1) Yamaha, 2) Besson, 3) Jupiter Euphoniums. Bach, Conn, Holton, or King Euphoniums will also work.
...or... Rent an instrument from Robert M. Sides
Valve Oil – I recommend getting either Blue Juice, or Al Cass Fast valve oil. I have personally used both of these oils, and they're both outstanding!
Tuning Slide Grease – this Venture Grease is great and also the easiest to use because it is in a small tube.
Polishing Cloth - polishing your trumpet every couple of weeks will keep it looking new for a very long time!
Mouthpiece Brush – you should brush out your mouthpiece once a week with soap and water. This special brush will help you to clean the entire inside of the mouthpiece.
Snake Brush – use this to clean out the inside of the pipes. If possible, this should be done with the instruments under water.
Bach 6-1/2AL Mouthpiece – this is the most highly-recommended baritone mouthpiece. Do not waste your money on other cheaper brands of mouthpieces, they are not the same as a Bach and they are cheap for a reason. Note: you need to check if you need a Large Shank or a Small Shank mouthpiece. If you get the wrong size, it will not fit in your instrument.
