C♯4
Concert B23rd partial
Written C♯4 on the treble staff

Plays the real sound: written C♯4 sounds concert B2 on baritone (treble clef).

C♯4 is the 3rd partial with all three valves, 6 semitones below open G4. It sounds concert B2. All three valves together are the sharpest combination on the horn, so lip it down — or, on a compensating baritone, let the extra tubing correct it for you. Treble-clef baritone reads like trumpet but sounds an octave lower, so aim for a dark, round sound here.
