I don't know how these would fit a euphonium, but I use a Meinl Weston harness on my tuba, and it works very well. A specially designed hook, protected from the instrument by a padded plastic plate, snaps into the bottom ring, a nylon strap with a plastic snap goes from shoulder level to the top ring. That strap can be either left or right side. The weight of the horn is spread over the two shoulder straps. You have pretty much one hand control of the instrument which is great for page turning.
