G3
Concert F22nd partial
Written G3 on the treble staff

Plays the real sound: written G3 sounds concert F2 on baritone (treble clef).

G3 is the 2nd partial with valves 1 and 3, 5 semitones below open C4. It sounds concert F2. Valves 1 and 3 together run sharp, 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.
