Baritone (treble clef)
F♯3 on the Baritone (treble clef)
Written F♯3 — sounds concert E2. Tap the diagram to hear it.
Plays the real sound: written F♯3 sounds concert E2 on baritone (treble clef).
F♯3 is the 2nd partial with all three valves, 6 semitones below open C4. It sounds concert E2. 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. Low baritone notes want a big, relaxed aperture and plenty of slow air; let the larger mouthpiece do the work.
