Plays the real sound: written A♭3 sounds concert G♭2 on baritone (treble clef).
A♭3 is the 2nd partial with valves 2 and 3, 4 semitones below open C4. It sounds concert G♭2. With valves 2 and 3 down the tuning is honest, which makes it a useful note to tune against. Low baritone notes want a big, relaxed aperture and plenty of slow air; let the larger mouthpiece do the work.
