This can be a matter of personal preference but normally the best brand of Euphonium is considered to be a Besson Euhonium. Other really good compensating brands are York, Willson, Sterling, and Yamaha.
Depends on if you're looking for a compensating or non compensating instrument. For non compensating I'd strongly suggest a Yamaha or King, for a compensating instrument many people would place the top 5, in no particular order, as Besson, Yamaha, Willson, York and Sterling.
Non-compenstating: Yamaha and King
Compensating (in random order): Besson, York, Willson, Sterling, and Yamaha

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.

They are okay euphonium and are great for student use in middle school or high school bands. Although they are good student euphoniums they are not very good if you comparing them to a professional grade euphonium that is compensating.

But if you are a really dedicated euphonium player do not waste your money on one of these, save up and buy a really nice compensating euphonium.

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$
