Sound Production: You produce a sound on the Euphonium by buzzing your lips together when you blow against the mouthpiece.
Interesting Facts:
- The euphonium is very similar to the baritone horn, but it is different because the tubes are wider and it is bigger.
- The euphonium makes low sounds, similar to the trombone.
- The euphonium has 3 or 4 valves and 1-3 spit valves. “Spit” valves do not really mean there is spit in the instrument; it means that there is condensation in the instrument.
- The word euphonium means: “producing nice sounds”
