British baritone - found

Post by Tubaryan12 »

Looking for a British baritone. Hoping to find something within a couple of hours drive of Cleveland Ohio.

I was hoping myself to find a four valve compensating British baritone, but apparently the only ones out there have horrid intonation.

Plus, with the smaller bore of the British baritone compared to a euph, the low register gets real grainy real quick. Yes, indeed: stick with a 3-valve comp for tone and intonation.

Hi! We have a Geneva Bb Baritone that you might be interested in. We're located in Massachusetts, but could talk about options of getting it to you easily in Ohio.

Here is more information on the horn: https://www.thebrass-stop.com/baritones

Shoot me an email at anna@thebrass-stop.com if you'd like to talk more about it!

Thank you!

This B&S-made one (no...not Jinbao) - I understand - behaves itself pretty with, with a competent operator.
They're not commonly stocked by stores...

I second this. My 3v Sterling Virtuoso is a fantastic instrument.
