Student Concert Baritone Horns
Created in the late 1700s, the baritone horn is commonly found in concert brass bands around the world. Although it works similarly to a trumpet, it's actually twice the trumpet's length and has a lot in common with the euphonium - in fact, it's generally the same instrument except it uses three valves instead of the euphonium's four. This baritone horn is very easy to learn and it only requires regular maintenance, making it an exceptional first instrument for students. You'll also discover in this section that there are a wide range of student concert baritone horn models to choose from.
While instruments like the trumpet are more popular, there are many upsides to playing the baritone. For one, baritonists are extremely valued by band teachers for their contribution to a brass band's low sound. Other benefits are that less students playing them means the demand for your skills will go up more, and the fact you've learned such an uncommon instrument makes for a higher chance of your unique talents getting noticed.
So let's take a look at some options. To kick things off, check out the Amati ABH 321 Series Bb Baritone Horn.
