Is this a euphonium or a baritone horn? The reviewer (a euphonium player and band director) says its a euphnium, but it's listed as a baritone horn.

Before the fourth valve was invented for this instrument, the baritone and euphonium was used to describe the same instrument. Since then only those with a fourth valve which allows to play all the way down to the peddle tones are referred to as Euphonium.There used to be a version of this instrument with two bells. See the movie "The Music Man" It referes to "Double Bell Euphoniums.

It is a Baritone horn. My daughter plays it in her 5th grade band in school, & it sounds great. Much nicer for her to play than the school issued one. It is a tiny bit smaller than the school's, but it really is a nice horn. Hope this helps. :-)

I believe it's a baritone. From what I could find regarding the difference is a baritone often has a smaller bore and bell a d this one is on the smaller side. Also, my son plays baritone and he took this in to the band teacher to check out (he rents one from the school that stays at school, this one is for practicing at home) and she told him he could use it for performances if he wants. ( it's definitely better looking than the school baritone). Also I've taken it in to a music store to be checked over and they didn't tell me differently when I called it a baritone.

This horn has three valves, which makes it a baritone. As I understand it a euphonium has 4 valves. BTW I would not encourage you to buy it, even though it has nice sound for a great price. My son has had issues with the valves and we have had a terrible time finding someone who can get parts for it.

I really do not understand your question. I play at church and my horn sits on it until I come back to it weekly

I bought this horn back a few months ago. The brand however is not Anaxa, as it says on the description, instead it is "Del Sol", but don't let this stop you from purchasing it. I would say it is a beginner or intermediate horn. I suggest you read mine and others reviews before purchasing it to get more information, if you haven't already.Casey

The horn lies flat on your back with the bell skyward. Since the bell is at an angle it does not stick out on the sides at all, i.e., I have never had trouble getting through a door. I have the shoulder straps high, but the bell is still below the top of my head. I would like to have an additional strap to join the shoulder straps across my chest, as another case I have does, which this one does not come with. So far, the straps appear solid with no sign of coming apart from slinging it around. I love being able to easily stow the straps. You might not want to put your mouthpiece in the case slot. Mine is a bit tall an I think it damaged the hinge next to it by putting upward pressure on the two halves of the case. Put the mouthpiece in its own case in the side pocket, where I always carry my metronome/tuner. I love the music pock on the back as well. It fits my Conn double well, but is too small for a larger horn (Geyer style horn) - which they don't tell you. Overall, it is a great, light case at a reasonable price.

It IS a concert. My expert music buddy took one look at it & proclaimed it, Concert. Amazon should have measurements that verify this. If you need me to, l will measure mine. Trust me - it is a Concert size. My friend owns 20 or so ukuleles + many other instruments & is incredibly knowledgeable. I own 6 & none are sopranos.

I don't understand the question. What chart? As far as I know, there is only one Special 20- the Marine Band-branded one, as you describe. If you check the Hohner site, that's all you'll find under Special 20, in the various keys. I've been playing them for thirty years- they've never varied, far as I know. If you got something other than the MB Sp. 20 as pictured, you've gotten something weird, maybe not genuine Hohner. Is it maybe country-tuned, or some other odd tuning? Is it from some overseas outlet? I'd be interested in seeing a picture of a progressive Sp.20.

My ten year old son uses this mouthpiece for the baritone in his school band. He seems to have no problem with it.

It is neither a Soprano or Tenor Uke. It's a Concert Uke, tuned gCEA. I bought this for my sister and she loves it!

It depends on the bore of the baritone, which can be small, medium(European), or large. If you're using a school horn, it's probably small shank. If it is small it's interchangeable with most trombone mouthpieces.

Hey Alex,I lit a flashlight through the bell of the two L J Hutchen Alto Saxophones I purchased (in a dark room) and did not see any leaks. I would also recommend a Snark metronome for tuning before playing.

The element appeared to be ceramic. I do not know the size. I had issues with the one I ordered and returned it. My experience was that the unit was unsafe. It would make a loud (and startling) popping sound and blow itself out routinely. I called the company and they did not seem interested in fixing the problem or hearing what was causing it. A group of engineers (me among them) took it apart and figured out what we thought was wrong. I would encourage you to look elsewhere based upon my experience with the device and the people who make it.

Yes, I use it for my concert ukulele all the time. The length of the rod on the back of the stand is adjustable, and should very easily work for a soprano ukulele as well. I don't use this stand for a baritone. I prefer to use a guitar stand, as I think the baritone is too big for this stand.You'll love how easy this stand is to set up, and how compact it is when folded up!

Yes, it is small bore. It's a little larger than I normally play on (Olds 4 and 5, and Bach 12C), which is what I was after - It gives a smoother, darker tone, although I can't seem to get as much volume with it as I can with my smaller one. It may just be that the darker tone blends better for sectional playing and doesn't stand out quite so much, so is a bit more difficult to distinguish. It does take a bit more air than the smaller ones - that's normal. I'm more than satisfied with the tone, articulation, and response.

The one we ordered/received is the soprano kit. From what I could tell the baritone was more expensive.

It is a Stentor II. Google it and you will see it is the same. My son is using this for his first year in orchestra at school and it sounds good with decent craftsmanship.

Yes, It does come with a mouthpiece, but my first Brass Instrument was the Trombone so I needed to use a Mouth Piece with a Deeper Cup, more like one for a Cornet, or a Flugelhorn. This Bugle is in theclassic Key of B Flat, whereas the U.S. Army now uses a slightly larger Bugle in the Key of G. I have no ideawhere to get one of those,or what the cost would be. I did alright with this one for my Father's Funeral.

My 11 year old son plays one in 6th grade band. It sounds as good as a brass bone, but weighs less than 3 lb! Highly recommend it!
