Re: not mine / not common
So it's a tuba, not a baritone? IS IT "OLD" Olds or new Olds? I'm not familiar with the model. You're the TUBA guru Bloke, enlighten us.

Not a tuba. Not a baritone. But... an Olds euphonium probably from the 60's or 70's. Probably a good player.

Familiar or not. There's a situation here wherebloke wrote:' interesting how American bell-front "baritones" have become so UN-common in schools, etc., that some today actually aren't sure what they are.
- you know very well what it is, but
- you're not supposed to call it by the name it was marketed under
- and the name that's left that you might use for it doesn't fit real well either.
Taxonomy of conical brass looks like an easy thing to get started on but impossible to finish, because any intermediate variation is possible and will play fine. I personally think our forefathers may have had it right - call anything pitched in this range "baritone".
