The Eastman EMB411 supplies excellent tone in a comfortable and ergonomic package. A marching baritone, the EMB411 is built from yellow brass and features an 11-inch yellow brass bell for centered projection. Players will appreciate its expansive 0.571-inch bore that provides a resistance similar to a concert baritone. Eastman outfitted the EMB411 with three stainless steel piston valves, which deliver smooth and quick playability for years and years. Plus, stainless steel’s corrosion-resistant properties make it the ideal choice for programs that frequently practice and perform in adverse weather. Finally, this horn has a lacquer finish for a warmer tone. Choose the Eastman EMB411 for your marching program, and it won’t disappoint you.

11-inch bell supplies a focused tone





Eastman outfits each EMB411 with an 11-inch yellow brass bell. Yellow brass supplies a warm and balanced tone capable of impressive dynamics before breakup. Meanwhile, the 11-inch bell diameter ensures that the horn provides an expressive sound in all registers and throughout its dynamic range. The EMB411’s bell teams with the supportive 0.571-inch bore to produce a focused sound with impressive projection.





Stainless steel pistons offer outstanding durability





This marching baritone includes three valves with stainless steel pistons. Stainless steel naturally resists corrosion, which makes it a perfect fit for performing in wet weather. Whether you’re buying a new horn for yourself or a marching program, you want to be sure it plays well when you get it, right? That’s where Sweetwater’s 40-point Band and Orchestra inspection comes in. Our in-house technicians perform a full assessment, including a playability check and a detailed valve inspection. Each EMB411 that leaves our state-of-the-art distribution center is certified to meet and exceed your expectations.





Eastman: crafting fine instruments since 1992





Accomplished flutist Qian Ni founded Eastman in 1992 after graduating from the Boston University School of Music. Similar to Sweetwater, Eastman started as a one-man operation, with Ni selling instruments out of the back of his car. Today, Eastman is a global maker of musical instruments, but they’ve never lost sight of their humble beginnings. Players ? both students and professionals alike ? searching for an instrument with outstanding sound, comfortable playability, and traditional craftsmanship will find exactly what they’re looking for from Eastman.
