Baritone Horns


The baritone or baritone horn has three or four valves, very similar to the tenor horn. The basic tuning of the baritone is also B, but it is built with a larger bore. The baritone horn is blown with the kettle mouthpiece. A difference to the tenor horn results from the length of the baritone, which is much wider, i.e. is more conical. Furthermore, the baritone sounds a little softer and fuller in the lower registers than the tenor horn.
