Band instrument. In concert band, it looks something like a smaller version of the tuba. Only slightly different than the euphonium (a baritone has more cylindrical tubing while a euphonium's tubing is more conical in shape.) In marching band, it resembles a "trumpet on steroids." Great instrument, often played by very interesting people.

A third-world country that borders Kenya. It has a rich history of unkown-ness, and the few who do know about it discriminate Baritone's people. They have faced many hardships, including famine, drought, slow internet, and date rape. Baritone's main export is terrible sounds, test tube babies, and crystal meth. Baritone is overall a rich, diverse country that is only accessible to those who know how to play a double-octave Bflat concert scale perfectly. You must then hop on a motorcycle, DRIVE across the Atlantic Ocean to the Cape of Good Hope, and then meet a Mexican dwarf named Tyler. He will then dig you an underground tunnel right into the heart of the glorious country of Baritone. You may leave Baritone any time by just saying the words, "I know what a Baritone is!" You will then arrive on your NEIGHBORS doorstep.
Tyler: "What's a Baritone?"
Lindsay: "It's a third-world country that borders Kenya."
Tyler: "CAN WE VISIT?!"
Lindsay: "OFF TO BARITONE!!!!"

Male voice part higher than the bass and lower than the tenor. For many years thought to derive from "Baron of Tone", that being a good and nobel thing. Later historical investigation concludes that the true derivation is from "Barren of Tone" circa 1937 Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barbershop Quartet Singing in America (That's right, SPEBQSA) notes that those compelled to sing the "Baritone Line" are strangely attracted to do so by the absence of melodic interest and frequent awkward intervals.
1937 Audience member 1 - Did you hear that guy on the end standing next to the bass?
Audience member 2 - Oh yeah, what was that guy trying to do?
Audience member 1 - Maybe he's the baritone?
Audience member 2 - Don't know, but he was certainly barren of tone!

Medium-sized brass instrument, mainly recognizable by the fact that it is NOT an euphonium. The baritone is its smaller brother - and naming it as such is astonishingly silly, as the baritone sounds like a digimon on acid if played to high. Some brittish people are known to make them sound decent, though. May or may not have four valves.
Indecent man: "Say, good sir, is that a baritone i spot under your arm?
You: "NO IT'S NOT IT'S A BLOODY EUPHONIUM F**K U"
or
The baritone was mounted on top of a pyramid of several baritones when, suddenly, an euphonium entered from above, for it would smite them to the ground and grow lillies from their valves.

Moi.
The medium male singing voice. Plays the nasties in opera and musical theater: cruel prison wardens and other villains.

It's a rather sensuous voice range... although the tenor range is quite sexy for moi... what does it matter?
Tenor, baritone, or bass, the male voice turns me on!
