Euphonium

A Mendini by Cecilio baritone or euphonium is a good student instrument. Meaning it is a good instrument if you are just looking for one to play in a middle or high school band and do not plan on playing it in college. You can get a Cecilio euphonium for as little as $340 brand new so they would be very good for someone that is planning on playing in school but not professionally. If you are planing on being a professional or going to play in college you probably want to wait and buy a really good compensating euphonium with a brand name like Besson; but they will cost around $6,000 - $7,000 brand new and around $3,000 for one that a couple years old.

There is a serious of steps that you have to follow to convert music from Baritone TC music to Baritone BC music.

For example: On Baritone BC the major Bb scale is Bb C D Eb F G A Bb. Well on Baritone TC the notes are C D E F G A B C because a C on Treble music for Baritone is going to be the same for a Bb on bass clef music for Baritone. So you finger a C open and that's also how you finger a Bb. So basically your playing the same note.

It would probably help to know the notes on treble clef so you'll be able to convert them and also figure out the major scale fingerings and notes for Baritone TC and BC so it would be easier to convert the notes. Also it would help to print out a fingering charts. This website should help http://www2.milwaukee.k12.wi.us/lcmsa/Music_Theater/Band/Fingering_Charts.htm

and basically that's it. It's a lot of work but I wish you luck.

If you have any problems just tell me and I would be delited to help.

The Euphonium's range is the same as the Bass Trombone starting in the Bass Clef ranging from B Flat 1 below the Bass Clef to B Flat 1 above the Bass Clef.

Compensating euphoniums are for professionals or euphonium players that are really dedicated to playing. This is because compensating euphoniums are much more expensive than non-compensating euphoniums. All compensating means is that the instrument has the further advantage of being able to play in the lower octaves using conventional fingerings. See related link for more information.

A marching euphonium does not resemble an upright concert euphonium, and is played standing and moving. It looks a lot like a large trumpet. Click to see an image of a marching euphonium.

Well it depends on the type of saxophone your talking about. The Soprano and Alto Sax are woodwind instruments, while the Bari Sax & The Tenor Sax are low brass instruments.well it also does count as a wood wind instrument no matter what because it has a reed used to perform sounds.

A flat is first valve on the euphonium.

There could be any number of reasons to use flutter tongue (growling noise effect) on the Euphonium. In all honesty, it depends on the composer and the situation. In jazz-type songs, like George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, it's mostly used as decoration. In some classical songs, like Frank Tichelli's Angels in the Architecture, it's used to build tension and angst. Most of the time, though, Trombonists are the ones who are asked to use flutter tongue. The mellow sound of the Euphonium doesn't generally suit itself for the biting, growling tone of the flutter tongue.

Yes they do, but they are actually called water keys or spit valves. Water keys allow you to empty liquid that builds up in the instrument that is formed by a combination of condensation and saliva.

anywhere from 2 to 6. Mostly 4. depends upon what the director wants the voicing to be. There could be none due to lack of skill requred for that concert band.

An euphonium is overall a small tuba...but there are other differences too!

-an euphonium has four valves while a tuba can have three of them.

-tuba's can be close to 50 pounds! while an euphonium is lighter.

-though both a tuba and an euphonium are bass instruments, tuba are the main bass that can most likely go lower than a euphonium

Euphonium is a large musical instrument that is made from brass. It is in the branch of wind instruments which means one could play euphonium by blowing into it.

A baritone is slightly smaller than a euphonium, but still is not a euphonium.

You can purchase 3/4, and 1/2 sizes of Euphonium just like violins and cellos.

Make your lips like your are giving someone a raspberry (or like making a farting noise) and put you lips in the mouthpiece. Then take a deep breath with your diaphragm and don't raise your shoulders when you do. Blow into the mouthpiece with your lips as described earlier to make them vibrate. This then leads to you making a noise.

I'm a professional euphonium player and a euphonium professor. I love the euphonium and I'm very happy that I made playing the euphonium a career choice. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't play the euphonium because you're a girl!

pull it in. It makes the tubing shorter and therefore higher pitched.

adjust the position of your lips, sometimes curling the lower one underneath helps.

Do you mean piston slap? Noise like piston slap are repairable only by an engine rebuild.

Yes. I have a Schill baritone and it is almost indentical to a Besson. The case is well made and the mouthpiece looks like an unlabeled Denis Wick. At a recent festival , a student had a 4 valve Schill Eup. It sounds great.

Within a British-style Brass Band, the Euphonium, unsurprisingly, is in the 'Euphonium section', otherwise known as "Euphs and Bari's" since the Euphoniums up are grouped with the Baritones (Bb Baritone Saxhorns).

More conventional instrumental grouping would place the Euphonium in the same family as Tubas (Eb + Bb Bass Tubas) whilst placing the Baritones along with the Eb Tenor (Sax)horns and the Flugel horn.
