I am not trying to muddy the waters, but I do need a little clarification here Barry. Correct me if I am wrong here. But the British baritone has more cylindrical piping, so it is more like a trumpet. The British euphonium has more conical piping, so it is more like the cornet. At least in terms of instrument construction, geometry, and tone color/voice. Am I right, or have I gone off the deep end and totally made the question impossible?
