B3 on the Baritone (treble clef)
Written B3 — sounds concert A2. Tap the diagram to hear it.
Plays the real sound: written B3 sounds concert A2 on baritone (treble clef).
B3 is the 2nd partial with valve 2, 1 semitone below open C4. It sounds concert A2. With valve 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.
