Plays the real sound: written G5 sounds concert F4 on baritone (treble clef).
G5 is an open note on the 6th partial: no valves down, so the lip alone picks the slot. It sounds concert F4. The 6th partial tends a little sharp; relax the aperture rather than pushing. Upper register: lift with air speed and keep the throat open; pinching thins the tone fast on a wide-bore horn.
