Tenor horn and baritone - the all-rounders among brass instruments

The tenor horn and the baritone are among the indispensable brass instruments in brass music. Both instruments have a similar construction and sound full and warm, which gives them a central role in wind orchestras and brass bands. Both the tenor horn and the baritone offer a harmonious complement to trumpets, tubas and horns thanks to their soft and melodic sound.

What is the tenor horn?

The tenor horn is a brass instrument in the tenor register that is valued for its soft tone colour and wide range. It is mainly used in wind orchestras and brass bands as it offers a pleasant mid-range and creates a good harmonic connection to higher and lower instruments. The tenor horn is usually tuned in Bb and is played via three or four valves, which enable the musician to produce different pitches and sounds precisely.

What is the baritone?

The baritone, often referred to as the baritone horn, is similar in construction to the tenor horn, but with a slightly larger bore (bell diameter), which gives it a darker and fuller sound. The baritone is also tuned in Bb and is mainly used in brass music, where it serves as a link between the lower and higher registers. Due to its wider bore, it sounds somewhat more voluminous than the tenor horn and provides a powerful sound foundation. It is particularly popular in traditional brass music, but also in orchestras.

Difference between tenor horn and baritone

Although the tenor horn and the baritone appear similar at first glance, they differ in terms of sound and construction. The tenor horn has a narrower bore and produces a softer sound, while the baritone offers a darker and more powerful tone due to its wider bore. In brass music, they are often played together, with the tenor horn tending to take on the melody lines and the baritone providing a harmonic basis and low accompaniment.
