The '''marching euphonium''' is a [[musical instrument]] of the [[brass instrument|brass]] family. It is a staple in college [[marching band]]s 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 (wind instruments)|bore]] and sound. It is not the same instrument as a [[Baritone_horn#Marching_Baritone_Horn|marching baritone]], which is a different, slightly smaller brass instrument. |
|||
The differences between the [[baritone horn|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 (music)|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]].<ref>Robert Donington, 'The Instruments of Music', pp. 113, The Family of Bugles, 2nd Edition, Methuen London 1962 </ref><ref>Apel, Willi (1969), Harvard Dictionary of Music, Cambridge: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 1972, pp. 105 – 110</ref> |
