A3 on the Baritone (treble clef)
Written A3 — sounds concert G2. Tap the diagram to hear it.
Plays the real sound: written A3 sounds concert G2 on baritone (treble clef).
A3 is the 2nd partial with valves 1 and 2, 3 semitones below open C4. It sounds concert G2. With valves 1 and 2 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.
