📯 What Is It
📐 "Pleasant Sound"

🎵 Where
Brass band: SOLO instrument! Solo euph + 2nd euph. Concert band. Solo: recitals. Japanese school: very popular. Rare in symphony.
🎯 Compensating

🔷 Baritone Horn
Narrower bore → brighter, lighter. Smaller bell (~25 cm). 3v. Marching, supporting. Yamaha YBH-301. 00–2000. Don't confuse!
🔷 Which?
