{{wikify}}Fat Trumpet, or Marching Euphonium, is a staple in college marching bands across the United States today. Physically, it does not resemble an upright euphonium and is played standing and moving, much like a trumpet, but it is larger in size, shape, bore and sound. It is not the same instrument as a marching baritone horn-which is a different, slightly smaller brass instrument. The Yamaha YEP-202M Bb Marching Euphonium is one of the best known models in manufacture and active use today among marching band players. The marching euphonium produces a rich, deep, dark euphonium tone for marching and excellent balance for the player. The balance reduces strain on musicians' arms, making it more comfortable to hold. |

The differences between the baritone and the euphonium are the size and taper of the bore, the baritone has a smaller and more cylindrical bore while the euphonium has a larger bore; although both produce partials of the B-flat harmonic series, and both have a nine-foot-long main tube, the baritone horn has a smaller bore and a tighter wrap and a far smaller bell, and is thus physically smaller. The euphonium has a more solid bassy timbre.[1][2] |
