[Trombone-l] Baritone question

[Josh Kane]

To answer your questions.

1. Yes.
2. I try to use the same mouthpiece on both horns. Baritones and  
Euphoniums ARE different. Baritones are 2/3 cylindrical and 1/3  
conical, and euphoniums are 2/3 conical and 1/3 cylindrical. Most pro  
euphoniums are large bore unless is a Willson, or some Bessons, they  
have medium bore (euorpean). Marching baritones are either small bore  
or large bores. Marching Euphoniums are large bores. But yes, wether  
it's large bore or small bore, it's interchangable with trombone.
