JP's student/school workhorses, all NON- compensating: the JP074 is the entry (rose-brass leadpipe, open wrap, thumb hook, .571" bore, ~$1,512, for younger beginners); the JP174 / JP174IL are the sturdier school/training-band horns (.580" bore, bell ring, ~$2,492). Good, reliable school stock from a King's-Award British firm. Ovis stencils (flagged). Split into per-model records later if you want finer granularity. -->https://euphonium.studio/instruments/john-packer-jp274/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://euphonium.studio/instruments/john-packer-jp274/<!-- EDITOR: verdict in your own voice. JP's value COMPENSATING step-up — warm, rounded, .580" bore, 12" bell, ~$2,583, in lacquer or silver. The affordable "real compensating horn" from a reputable British firm; sits opposite the Wessex EP100 Dolce in the value-comp bracket. Ovis stencil (trade knowledge, flagged). -->https://euphonium.studio/instruments/john-packer-jp374-sterling/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://euphonium.studio/instruments/john-packer-jp374-sterling/<!-- EDITOR: verdict in your own voice. JP's professional euphonium and the JP/Sterling crossover: fully compensating 3+1, 12" bell, 80:20 brass, the trademark Sterling leadpipe, ~$5,123 (JP374T adds a trigger, ~$5,856). THE key thing to make clear: this is JP's own "British Design" pro horn wearing the Sterling name — a JP-branded sibling to the standalone Sterling Virtuoso, and evidence that both are UK-designed but almost certainly Asian-made rather than UK-hand-built. Cross-link to the Sterling Virtuoso record and the stencil explainer. -->
