About Euphoniums


No, that’s not a baby tuba you’re staring at. It’s a euphonium! Think of the euphonium as the tuba’s sweeter-voiced little cousin, with a round tone like a French horn and a spry, five-octave range that’s perfectly suited to doubling melodies or rounding out chords.


The euphonium is a valved low brass instrument commonly found in concert bands, brass bands, and military ensembles. It is tuned to Bâ™­ and may be treated as a treble–clef or bass–clef instrument. The range it can cover is approximately Bâ™­1 to Eâ™­5. Euphoniums can have a varying number of valves, though most today feature three or four.
