Construction of the Baritone Horn

We are going to talk about the construction of the baritone. The baritone is obviously a series of tapered tubes starting here with the mouthpiece and going into a flanged pipe. The air travels around and around into the valves where they are manipulated. They open and close certain pieces of piping which make for a low note or a higher note or a half step note. When they finally developed valves for brass instruments brass instruments became fully chromatic, meaning that they could play all the notes in all the scales. On top of the mouthpiece, which is where the sound is really, it really emanates from here; this is where all the sound of the instrument. The instrument makes sound, but this is where the sound is really made. Just buzz your lips and push air through the instrument.
