C4 on the Baritone (treble clef)
Written C4 — sounds concert B♭2. Tap the diagram to hear it.
Plays the real sound: written C4 sounds concert B♭2 on baritone (treble clef).
C4 is an open note on the 2nd partial: no valves down, so the lip alone picks the slot. It sounds concert B♭2. With no valves 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.
