A brass instrument that looks like a silver tuba or silver baritone horn.
Was used in the Music Man.
Lighter tone/timbre than baritone horn (I think)
The only Euphoniumist I know is my university librarian. I read that finding jobs (US) of only Euphonium performances are really hard, so getting a teaching degree and teaching in college or becoming very lucky and being accepted into a professional band, such as a military band are professions.
That's a fairly good description. I honestly hate using the "its a smaller tuba" card because it is nothing like a tuba. And I especially hate the "it's just like a baritone" card because they are two fairly different instruments.
it's interesting that you think the baritone has a deeper tone than the euphonium, since the euphonium has quite a bit more tubing and a significantly wider bell I find that the euphonium has a darker and deeper tone than the baritone. But our ears are different. What you hear may be completely different from what I hear.
And you are right, it is a huge b***h winning jobs as a euphoniumist. There is absolutely no gig scene for the instrument, and 3/4 of the world has no idea what it is. All in all I predict a rough future ahead of me.
