Yamaha now has a new model euphonium called the, YEP-842. It has gold trim (too much for my taste) on all the slides. They've made the bell a little thinner (still 12" dia) for better response, along with a more open leadpipe and receiver. They've also shortened (slightly) the first valve slide, so the concert "C" above the staff is no longer flat. (not sure what this does for concert "Eb" [6th partial] above the staff? Here's a link if you want to see picture and read the specs:
