I think it just highlights the general perception of what a trombone sounds like.

I've always had problems with my nose in 7th position.

Is that why the euphonium players in front of me ask am I playing my trombone or blowing my nose?

How DO these things get started?
I mean, there just is no similarity between the sound of a trombone and the sound of someone... oh... nevermind...

You are absolutely right but I thought that since most forum members are from The States I'd say euphonium - everyone would know what one is!! I do like to share the love though - the euphoniums still complain... I dont understand - whats not to like about a bass trombone in full flow?Bruce wrote - I thought with a bass trombone you would have the Baritones in front of you

Can't they hear the slide handle rattling when you are playing your bass trombone?
I'll let Bruce explain that to the younger US trombone playing community, perhaps with a video of him demonstrating his Whaley-Royce bass.

Is it considered PC here to make jokes on people with short arms?

I've never understood that confusion; baritone horns are emphatically not euphoniums - any more than trumpets are cornets! Two different instruments, each with it's own distinctive sound, and each with its own job to do in the brass band (which is, of course, why they are built differently from each other!).DougHulme wrote: Mon May 24, 2021 1:47 amYou are absolutely right but I thought that since most forum members are from The States I'd say euphonium - everyone would know what one is!!

Yes. In brass bands the euphoniums are in front of the tenor trombones and baritones in fromnt of the basstrombone.BaritoneJack wrote: Fri Sep 03, 2021 2:28 amI've never understood that confusion; baritone horns are emphatically not euphoniums - any more than trumpets are cornets!

In (mixed) windbands a euphonium is often plying the baritone part. In german windbands the baritone was called teonor horns, the tenorhorn was called alto horns.

That is the idéa. The trombones is used as a contrast to the conically horns.

When I played in community bands in the 70s the folders and parts were marked baritone. It was considered pretentious to call it a euphonium. We now make a distinction between two similar instruments that would have been not commonly used back then.BaritoneJack wrote: Fri Sep 03, 2021 3:29 am @Basbasun - "In (mixed) windbands a euphonium is often playing the baritone part."
