"Don't blow into your instrument, blow through it." On all brass instruments, the tone is chiefly controlled by the embouchure and breath support. The basic embouchure formation is similar for all brass instruments. So once it is learned in one instrument, it is more easily transferable to another brass mouthpiece. Moisture collects inside brass instruments and needs to be released and cleaned out often. The Trombone, The Baritone, The Euphonium These three instruments are the same length and play in the same register. The primary difference between the three is the sound quality desired. The tenor trombone has a brilliant sound. The euphonium is more mellow. The baritone also has a warm, full tone, however, it is a bit lighter than the eumphonium. These three instruments are the heaviest instruments played today without any kind of support. |
