Sound is produced by placing the lips on the mouthpiece and blowing while vibrating the lips. The larger the mouthpiece, the lower the sound of the instrument. By tightening or loosening the lips, it is possible to produce different notes, but only so many notes can be produced this way, so you press down the valves to create more notes.

What does non compensating mean when playing the euphonium?
Compensating euphoniums are for professionals or euphonium players that are really dedicated to playing. This is because compensating euphoniums are much more expensive than non-compensating euphoniums. All compensating means is that the instrument has the further advantage of being able to play in the lower octaves using conventional fingerings. See related link for more information.

Who makes euphoniums with cool finishes?
Well, this is kind of a vague question but I'll do my best. If you mean a euphonium with just a shiny silver finish, you can get these from any manufacturer. Although tarnished instruments... I know of a guy who had a tarnished besson. So my thought on that is its probably a custom euphonium which are usually all compensating. Now The other kind of finish i can think of is a trim. So euphoniums will have black/gold trims on them. These are also what you may call a custom euphonium. Last but not least, i believe there is such thing as colored euphoniums, such as a whole black euphonium. But is most likely these are not made by major brass producers and I wouldn't recommend getting one unless its to just have fun with. So i don't know if your looking to buy a euphonium, but here is my consensus. Buy from a world known producer, like Yamaha, or Besson. There are also major types of euphoniums you can usually get from these producers. -Non-compensating euphoniums: these are the standard school level euphoniums. Good for a novice -intermediate player. -Compensating euphoniums: These are what you may call professional euphoniums. You can usually get one of these with a nice trim on it if you wish. But you should only consider getting one of these if your serious into playing the euphonium as they are not cheap. The average new euphonium (compensating) price i'd say would be about 5,000$
