About the studio
A single-author reference for the euphonium — why it exists and how it's built.
Euphonium Studio is a single-author reference for one instrument, built because the euphonium deserves better than it has online. The good information about it is real but scattered — across thirty-year-old personal sites, retailer SEO blogs, tuba-dominated forums, and a few excellent but out-of-print books. This studio gathers the essentials into one clean, structured, modern place: the naming, the notation, the instrument itself, the repertoire, and the players who made it sing.
Who writes it
Euphonium Studio is written and maintained by Larry Herzog Jr., a lifelong low-brass player whose primary instrument is the euphonium. He performs in community, university, and church ensembles in North Dakota.
How it’s organised
Most of the site follows one pattern: each topic has a long-form pillar page, with short questions orbiting it that answer the specific things people actually search for. A few areas break the pattern: the filterable repertoire database and models & makers database, the OEM & stencil reference that traces which brands are really the same horn from one factory, and the player biographies.
A note on names
Throughout the site the instrument is called a euphonium, even where an American band room would say “baritone” or an orchestral score would say “tenor tuba.” The naming section explains why those words collide.
Corrections
This is opinionated, single-author work, which means it can be wrong. Corrections and sources are welcome — the goal is to be the reference the euphonium should already have had. Found an error or have a source to add? Email feedback@euphonium.studio.
