euphonium

a low brass instrument with 3 or 4 valves that can be played in treble or bass clef. hardly anybody knows what it is so euphonium players often get tired of explaining it. they are usually the least ignorant section in low brass and the smallest and most talented section in the band.
band director: can someone please explain the coda to the trombones!?
euphonium section: we can! we can!

euphonium

n. a large 3- or 4-valved brass instrument resembling a small tuba; it is similar to the baritone horn but, while the baritone has a cylindrical (straight) bore, the euphonium has a conical (grows larger as it progresses towards the bell) bore, warming up the sound
The euphonium has a dark, rich sound--except when too much garbage has been dropped down the bell.
