A baritone is an awesome, lesser-known instrument that I play and LOVE!

It's a low brass and just barely smaller than a tuba. They are very expensive, leading people to make ISOs- instrument-shaped objects- and sell them for as much as a normal baritone costs.

My baritone looks like this:

It's a decades (and I mean DECADES)-old marching Besson baritone. They may not look beautiful like this laquered one:
, but it plays beautifully.

A baritone is a tenor tuba.

So, now you know!
Discuss baritones here.

Cool!
Did you know that the notes on the staff are the same for trombone and baritone?
For a bass trombone, it's the same as a tuba.

Yep. Did you know the notes are the same for trombone and the flutes are the same but one octave higher?

Moo.

That's how they described baritones to us when trying to get kids to sign up for the band program at my school.

Oh, now I understand what was the brass isntrument in your old sing (the "I heart baritones" one). XD

Anyway, cool! I never heard of it, or heard of it that often, that is. How'd you get such an old one?

Mr. G's friend used to be the director for an old marching band.
Mr. G bought it for $400! yikes
That's cheap for such a nice baritone!
The newer Bessons are higher than $2,750!!!!
He says if I give him the money for it, he'll buy ME one!!!! big_smile
