Conn Baritone

Hey folks-

I am posting this instrument for a student.

It is a Conn Baritone with three valves, detachable bell, and a case. (The instrument is not in my possession so I don't know the model or serial number off hand). All in all the instrument is in good shape and is perfect for a younger or amateur player. The instrument is currently located in Columbia, MD. Please PM me for details on price or any additional questions, etc. Serious inquires only please.

Here are some links to pictures:

Well then, a baritone. Just a quick question, since we arent going to have a lesson for a few weeks, whats the difference between a baritone and a euphonium. Would it be worth it to buy a baritone just to have and play around on?

Ok..the best source for information on this topic is: Dave Werden's Baritone or Euphonium?

However, the vintage American Conn 20I Artist "baritone" with short action valves pictured here (I would guess it to be a mid-60's model horn) is a .560 bore and is more "euph-ish" than a modern English-style "baritone. Modern baritones are in the .510 bore range and are more nearly "trombone-ish" in sound than this horn. Played with a larger mouthpiece (I use a Wick 4AY on my 1968 Conn 24I Connstellation), the sound is brighter and more directional than a large English-style euphonium, but definitely MUCH warmer and rounder than the modern "baritone". If you want a nice sweet solo horn for your Herbert L. Clarke or Simone Mantia repertoire, this is the beast for you. Also great for marching in parades with since they are light, comfortable to hold, and project well.

However, if you wat to play baritone parts in a British Brass Band, this horn is WAY too big.

To answer the question as to the difference between a Euphonium & Baritone I think this article will help.
