General Questions about playing baritone
Hello all,
My recently acquired Salvation Army Triumphonic baritone has arrived and I'm ready to start getting into the art of playing a british baritone. By trade, I am a euphonium player and having to play such a small instrument as baritone takes some getting used to. For the experienced baritone players of this forum, what are some general tips you can give me in order to get used to the horn and not try to play it like a euphonium? How should I approach playing baritone in general? What are some ways to get the characteristic sound and get the intonation in check? Any and all tips are appreciated! I pretty much know nothing!
Thank you!
