Concert C33rd partialBeginner note
Written D4 on the treble staff

Plays the real sound: written D4 sounds concert C3 on baritone (treble clef).

D4 is the 3rd partial with valves 1 and 3, 5 semitones below open G4. It sounds concert C3. Valves 1 and 3 together run sharp, 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.
