| | Baritone or Euphonium? |
 | | Some are: a euphonium has four valves, a baritone three; if its in a bass clef its a euphonium, if its in treble clef its a baritone; a baritone is little euphonium; a baritone has the bell pointed forward, a euphonium points up; and (attributed to Robert King) a euphonium is a baritone played well. |
 | | In the USA, the average man on the street doesnt know what a euphonium is. This is partly due to a lack of exposure to the horn, but if he ever has seen one, it may have been referred to as a baritone, a baritone horn, a tenor tuba, or a euphonium. |
 | | While the early samples of this type of "hybrid" instrument may have had a sound nearly centered between a baritone and a euphonium tone, the desire for a smoother, fuller sound has led the manufacturers to gradually change the instruments characteristics. |
