| LOW BRASS |
| Since I play tuba and trombone, I have made this page, which is a dedication to all of the low-brass players out there. Low brass includes trombones, tubas, baritones, euphoniums and sousaphones. Keep those notes a-rumbling! |

| Trombone |
| Sousaphone |

| Baritone |
 |
| Euphonium |
| The difference between euphoniums and baritones is mainly the tubing. Baritone tubing remains mostly the same diameter until it reaches the bell. Euphoniums start out with a small diameter at the mouthpiece and gradually get wider. The trombone pictured above is an F-attatchment trombone. Sousaphones are marching tubas. Bb C D Eb F G A Bb |

| NOTE: I really DON'T like French Horns. I wanted to put in all Mellophones, but I thought better of it. Oh well. I only have a tuben in there because it's half-tuba, and I needed four tenor instruments. Oh well. Do mellophones have better projection than horns? I'll have to find that out. I'm gonna write a tuba paper! |
