E♭4
Concert D♭33rd partialBeginner note
Written E♭4 on the treble staff

Plays the real sound: written E♭4 sounds concert D♭3 on baritone (treble clef).

E♭4 is the 3rd partial with valves 2 and 3, 4 semitones below open G4. It sounds concert D♭3. The 3rd partial tends a little sharp; relax the aperture rather than pushing. Treble-clef baritone reads like trumpet but sounds an octave lower, so aim for a dark, round sound here.
