Okay, if we are getting technical about the difference between a "baritone horn" and a "euphonium": The baritone horn has a cylindrical bore similar to a trombone while a euphonium has a more conical bore. The only true "baritone horn" is a "British baritone horn." All instruments manufactured by US companies (i.e. Conn, King) are really euphoniums even if they are called "'baritone horns.'"

oh if only a baritone horn and a euphonium were the same instrument.

Why are they called "Baritones"? A baritone is a singer. It's a "Baritone HORN"! Or my favorite line from "Brassed Off": "It's a bloody euphonium!"

Here's something for all you brass players out there, recently i discovered that instead of using valve oil or grease or anything that kerosene is actually thinner and allows for Faster and more precise movements in your slides and valves, anyone else know that?

I was in colorguard and we were considered part of the band! My last year they even made it a class so we would get credit just like the other band members.
