According to Saxhorn, that instrument was invented in the 1830s, so one can hardly claim that they were used in "ancient times" (unless you use a perverse definition of the phrase). Can someone who knows about the subject fix this? Hairy Dude 01:09, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

message: i dont understand the difference in wich the valves change th sound  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.254.200.215 (talk) 09:59, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: ok so the valves change the way the air flows, BUT to truly get into the upper and lower registers, you must tighten(to get higher) or loosen(to get lower) your lips.--24.216.121.135 (talk) 18:38, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  valves 

message: "Within the high school and college marching band activity, marching baritones are nearly always present to facilitate concert baritone (and sometimes euphonium) players. In some ensembles, trombones are not used, in which case baritones also provide an alternative for trombonists who can't bring their instrument onto the marching field. Since many high school baritone and euphonium players migrate from the trumpet, the instruments of choice have always been in the key of B♭."
This last Marching Band section seems confusing to me. When are trombones not used? No citation. Do trombone players really have to double on baritone in some bands? How common is this? And do many high school players really migrate from trumpet? Not in my band during the 1960s. And how does that explain the Eb Alto horn? The paragraph has the sound of one person's personal experience. If I was going to be bold, I'd eliminate the whole paragraph, but I'm not a professional music educator, so I don't know the answers to my own questions for sure.

thread_title:  I don't understand this 

message: Overall, I find this article to be of poor quality. It dwells way too much on the naming issue, repeats itself on the Drum and Bugle Corps matter, states the range of the Baritone tendentiously and in a manner inconsistent with the description of the range of its sibling, the alto horn and gives the reader very little information about the instrument itself and its construction and technique.

replies: text: One edit by an IP with no explanation, which was reverted, isn't quite a tendentious "back and forth." I'll grant that it's WP:OR as it is now; this is mostly me speaking as some with a music ed degree and as a former band teacher. It's common US practice to switch people from trumpet (which is usually easier to convince people to play in 5th grade as beginners so you have lots of them). It's also a good way to deal with a middle school trumpet player who just got braces; they often have an easier time with the bigger mouthpiece. I'll dig out some of my old issues of the Instrumentalist and textbooks and find a citation. I disagree with your assertion that how people learn an instrument is irrelevant to the article; common teaching practice seems quite relevant. WeisheitSuchen (talk) 18:00, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Most esteemed WeisheitSuchen, I think you're correct and all danger of edit ping-pong will probably go away if you stick a citation in there as you say! Glad to have had a hand in spurring you onwards to encyclopedic research :) JacquesDelaguerre (talk) 18:31, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

message: I looked at this page and found it very confusing. The fact I was looking for - the baritone is not chromatic, but capable of playing the notes 
C, Db, D, Eb, E, F, Gb, G, Ab, A and therefore has all the notes for the keys appearing two fifths either side of B flat. Namely C, F, Bb, Eb and Ab with decreasing numbers of notes in other keys. Tradimus (talk) 02:56, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Although the article is less than clear on the topic, my understanding is that the baritone horn is capable of playing chromatically, like any other brass instrument with three valves. Can you go into further detail about the "decreasing numbers of notes in other keys"? Just plain Bill (talk) 10:38, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
