[Trombone-l] Baritone question & Bugles

[Frank Darmiento]

Here's a variant on the answer to your first question.  As noted by others, the marching baritone is pitched and fingered the same as an upright baritone.  However, baritone BUGLES are normally pitched in G.  They look a lot like marching baritones--only a little larger (obviously).  (And the evolution of the bugle from no valves, to one valve, and eventually three valves is a whole other topic.)
