The Euphonium was invented by Sommers of Weimar in 1843. Weimar is a city in Germany.

They're around 8-12 pounds depending on the model and brand of the instrument. For example a Besson Prestige weighs 10.3 pounds where as a Besson Sovereign weighs 9.4 pounds. See related link for specifications.

They are okay euphonium and are great for student use in middle school or high school bands. Although they are good student euphoniums they are not very good if you comparing them to a professional grade euphonium that is compensating. If you are looking for an instrument that is cheaper and just to use for school than a Cecilio euphonium is a good choice sense they are only around 600 dollars brand new. But if you are a really dedicated euphonium player do not waste your money on one of these, save up and buy a really nice compensating euphonium. Compensating euphoniums are professional grade euphoniums and only certain brands like Besson, Yamaha, Willson, and Sterling make them. You will not find a new compensating euphonium for less than 3000 dollars and Bessons and Willsons are as high as 7000 dollars brand new.

There are not that many Hirsbrunner euphoniums and they cost around $6,000 - $7,000.

It is called the "serpent".

Apart from the hard case the instrument comes in - you can purchase what is known as a "gig bag", which is made out of lightweight material with a straps fitted so as to carry it around as you would a backpack.

In Donald Grantham's "J'ai ete au bal," there is a fugal section in the low brass with a challenging and exposed euphonium section. The march "Melody Shop" is frequently played in concert to feature the euphoniums. There are also several solo works for euphonium with concert band accompaniment, such as "Fast-Fingered Fandango" and the Cosma concerto. Euphoniumists often perform trumpet solos as well.

When someone wants to perform vibrato, there actually isn't any vibrating going on! (well except for the string, but the string always vibrates when playing the violin) When vibrato is performed correctly, the person actually wiggles his finger which varies the pitch to create a vibrating sound.

The highest and lowest note of the euphonium depends upon the strength and skill of the player as well as the specific capabilities of the euphonium. The practical range of the euphonium is from E below the bass staff to the Bb an octave above the bass staff, but many players can exceed that range. The range cannot be extended chromatically lower, however, unless the euphonium has a fourth valve.

British TV presenter and model Mel Sykes used to play the Baritone for Ashtonian Brass Band.

Euphoniums produce sound like all brass instruments do. When a Euphonium player buzzes his/her lips and pushes air into the horn through a mouthpiece, it makes the air start vibrating against the tubes of the horn. The sound is produced through these vibrations, and so the smaller the vibrations the higher the pitch. This is also why a Euphonium or any brass player can not produce sound by simply blowing into the instrument; he/she has to make the air vibrate as well.

Finding sheet music for solo Euphonium is rather difficult. If you read bass clef, it may be easier to simply find trombone sheet music and play off of that. If you read treble clef, go with trumpet sheet music. Both are Bb instruments like the Euphonium, and have similar tonal structure as well, so it wouldn't be too difficult to use those instead of Euphonium music.

If that's not an option, websites such as sheetmusicplus.com, jwpepper.com, and musicnote.net can be a big help. Just search for common music publishers (Hal Leonard, for example) and see if they have online store fronts.

A cylindrical brass instrument is like the trumpet. It's not literally cylinder-shaped, but the pipe width stays constant for a while before flaring out as the bell. Its shape is the reason for its brassier sound.

A conical instrument is more like the French horn. Again, it's not really a cone, but its pipes are constantly growing wider throughout the instrument. That's why it sounds so full and rich.

1 You did not say the name there is the baritone sax the baritone in low brass

2 Well the baritone sax is a little heavy but not mutch really because you can't play while standing and if you do you wont be able to hit the right notes.

3 The baritone in low brass is not heavy at all i play trombone and my friend plays baritone and i know how to play and its not heavy can easily be lifted with one hand with a good grip of course. Tubas are not even heavy either no brass instrument is really heavy to be honest.

No. The tuba plays a full octave below the baritone (maybe two octaves, I can't remember). Also, baritone players typically read treble cleff music, but tuba players read bass cleff, and baritone is not a concert pitch instrument. On the other hand, the euphonium is a concert instrument and plays bass cleff music. However, that said, some baritone players can read bass cleff music.

Total length including neck loop is over 5 feet of tubing but standing height after bends is just over 3 feet. Weight depends on quality of manufacture; usually between 12 and 15 pounds (though it feels heavier, and carrying it around in a case, it feels like about 30 pounds!). Diameter of the end of the bell also varies a bit by manufacturer. In terms of size, although called "baritone" saxophone, it is a bass instrument, with a range that goes just slightly lower than a bass clarinet and ends just one whole step higher than a bassoon.

The Nirschl Euphoniums made after 2009 were made in Brazil at the Weril Brass factory and yes, they are good euphoniums. They are well made and built heavy for a nice dark sound like the old English made Besson horns.

I would not recommend the Nirschls that were initially made in India.

The latest Nirschls made in Brazil were well thought out, designed and engineered in Indiana and Germany.

The construction of a Euphonium is simalar to the tuba. It is a brass instrument, and usaually only has three top action valves. Some of the intermediate student models have a fourth top-valve.

If you have a conventionally-made baritone horn, you should be able to unscrew the tops of the valves by turning counter-clockwise. After doing that, take them out and put some oil on them, as much as you deem necessary.

It's available from Hans Pizka:

well it really depends on how strong you are. when you first hold it it seems quite heavy but trust me i have been playing one for many years and it is actually much lighter. so really there is no definite answer but if i am completely honest the case for one is heavier than the actual thing so if you pick up the case and get scared then dont be because the euphonium isn't actually that heavy. (it is definitely harder to play standing up though because of its weight so do be aware)

G sharp is the same as A flat which is 1st valve. If it's the high g sharp above f you should be tightening your lips. If it's the low one below low A you should be widening your lips from each other.
