Plays the real sound: written F♯4 sounds concert E3 on baritone (treble clef).
F♯4 is the 3rd partial with valve 2, 1 semitone below open G4. It sounds concert E3. 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.
