John Cena was the Little Mermaid. He had the most hauntingly angelic baritone voice I’d ever heard and he got with Prince Eric at the end.

Somebody suggested I do a gayest section of the band poll.

Over time I will release a bunch of individual polls (per instrument, mostly) asking if you are a player of that instrument and LGBTQIA+ or not. And I'll have a results option. For now, let's form a hypothesis.

[eightglass]

this might be a really stupid question but i do not know Music Stuff but um. what instrument is a baritone

Eyyy! a question I am prepared to answer!

So. A trumpet is, like, the standard brass instrument. Its tubing, without pushing any valves down, is about 4.5 feet long, so when you push air through it, you get a partial series based on B-flat 3, which is right below the middle C on a piano.

But trumpets are kind of in a stupid range, so people wanted to go lower. So to go an octave lower, they have to double the length of the tubing, and that gets you a whole family of low brass instruments:

Trombones, baritones, and euphoniums!

(The slide and the valves have the same purpose: to make the tubing longer to be able to hit other notes. The slide lets you just extend the tubing, and the valves redirect the airstream into little tubes that end up making the total length of the path a bit longer.) All three of these have the exact same length of tubing; if you put the same air through, the same notes come out. The difference is in the shape of the tubing.

In a trombone, if you unwind and straighten it out, the tubing would be pretty evenly cylindrical, right up until the very end. This gives it a bright and edgy tone.

In a euphonium, the tubing starts to flare out much earlier, so it's a lot more conical. This makes the tone a lot softer and darker and more mellow.

A baritone is right in the middle; not as cylindrical as a trombone, not as conical as a euph.

However! These are the concert models; these are for sitting down in an indoor space where it's alright for the sound to go upwards because you don't want to overpower the (WEAKLING) woodwinds and strings.

When you're outside, marching, you want the sound to go forwards and smack the audience in the face. So they made marching models!

The one on the left is a bugle-style marching baritone, and on the right is a bugle-style marching euphonium. Same length of tubing, same range, but different shape of tubing, so different tone, so the parts are written differently. (and different size. having marched both, the baritone is much kinder to arm and shoulder muscles.) These are used by drum corps and by most high schools that march dci-style shows.

... and then there's this idiot instrument.

This is a traditional-style marching... euphonium? baritone? nobody really knows. You could argue that it's a euphonium, because the tubing starts to flare out fairly early, but I've only ever heard them called baritones, so..??? It's used by a lot of colleges and high schools that are going for more traditional styles.

So like, this:

versus this:

Just style preferences ig. Marching brass is a weird world.

I’ve never played Portal…or Aperture Desk Job by extension.

I’ve heard of JK Simmons playing a character called Cave Johnson. As I’ve never played the games, I just thought ‘weird name for a character but okay’.

Imagine my upmost surprise when I learned that JK Simmons can sing and sing well. Imagine my surprise when I learned he’s a professionally trained baritone.

So, I decided to give this OST from Desk Job a listen to, Requiem Ad Immortali.

…

Excuse me? What is this piece of angelic majesty?

Suddenly, hat one picture of Ford karaoking with Bill in the Book of Bill is less of a joke…

Waaaaiiiit…

…Okay, here me out—

Pianist Wanted for a Fun Musical Adventure in Bristol!

Hi there! I’m looking for a talented pianist to join me on an exciting musical journey, where we’ll be practising and recording some fantastic baritone opera arias—especially those beautiful Verdi pieces! As we get to know each other musically, we can also explore lieder, art songs, and even some lovely Handel tunes, including recorder and flute sonatas. The commitment is easy-going—just 1 to 2 hours a week at times that work for both of us. It’s currently an unpaid gig, but it could lead to some great opportunities as we create something special together. This is perfect for a pianist who wants to gain experience or try out new musical styles. I’m looking for someone who plays classical piano well, has experience with operatic pieces, can sight-read easily, and is keen on collaborating creatively. If you’re up for exploring different musical styles and want to help shape this adventure, I’d love to hear from you! Let’s make some memorable music together—get in touch if you’re interested! M. ps. Neck-breaking noggin not necessary! 🎶🎹😀

“You sure you got everything? Toothbrush, clothes, all your hair stuff?” You asked Baritone over the phone.

“Yes.” He sighed, getting annoyed. You had asked him plenty of times before, after all. “I’ll be over in a bit. I want to get out of here as soon as possible. Falsetto and Bassdrum are complaining about me leaving them behind.”

You laughed. “Well let them know we’re gonna have lots of fun without them.”

“Oh, I will.” He chuckled. “Alright then, bye. Love you.” You could practically hear his smile from over the phone. And after saying the same thing, you hung up.

You were feeling pretty nervous, and you felt you had every right to. Your boyfriend was sleeping over at your house for the first time. Even though he’s been over countless times before, the fact that he’s staying the night makes things feel that much different for some reason. You’ve lost count of how many times you’d checked if everything was clean enough. Your brain knew it was, and you also knew that Baritone couldn’t care less if one little thing was out of place. But still, you were anxious.

With nothing else to do but wait, you sat down on your couch, and did just that. Scrolling on your phone seemed to do nothing to pass the time. You couldn’t focus on anything long enough to be decently distracted.

But thankfully, Baritone stayed true to his word. Not ten minutes later, you heard a knock at your door. The familiar pattern let you know for sure that it was him. Speed walking to answer it, you’d already forgotten how nervous you were.

“Hey!” You greeted happily after opening the door. You stepped to the side to let him in.

Baritone smiled back gently. He held an overnight bag in on hand. “Hey.” As always, after walking in, he took off his shoes. “Where should I put this?” He asked, referring to his bag.

“Oh, you can put it anywhere. I don’t care.” You smiled.

He hummed, and walked into the living room. After setting his bag down onto the couch, he unzipped it.

“I’m guessing you wanna set up all your stuff first.” You smirked, knowing his routines.

He huffed out a laugh. “Yes. Just to get it out of the way.”

Of course, you let him do as he pleased.

~~~~

Your bathroom now had many more hair and skin products than before. But you didn’t mind one bit. Even so, you knew better than to complain about Baritone’s beauty routines.

The night was already going great so far. You had ordered takeout from your favorite place, and watched a movie. You picked out a musical to be funny, but Baritone actually really enjoyed it. You should’ve known. He is a music kind of guy, after all.

Now, you both sat on your bed, finishing the last on your nightly routines. Actually, you had finished a while ago. But Baritone took longer due to his beauty routines. He was now getting ready to brush his hair.

“Lemme do it!” You said enthusiastically, holding out your hand to ask for the brush.

“Why?” He questioned, his look a bit too judgy for your liking.

“C’mon, I just wanna brush your cool hair. It’s way better than mine, so I wanna experience it.”

He rolled his eyes, scoffing out a laugh. “Okay then. Experience it.” He said, handing you the brush.

Wasting no time, you got to work. Starting from the ends, you carefully made your way up. You knew you probably didn’t need to be this careful, since it wasn’t tangled or anything. But you’d rather do that than risk being scolded for doing something to Baritone’s precious locks.

It was very enjoyable to brush through the endless strands of cool blue. And Baritone didn’t seem to hate it either, as he remained silent the whole time.

Once you were done, he used a scrunchie to tie his hair into a low ponytail.

“Aww.” You teased. “I didn’t know you do that when you go to bed.”

“It keeps it from getting too tangled in my sleep. It’s a real pain when that happens.” He explained.

“Yeah, I can imagine.” You pulled down the covers of your bed, and got in.

Baritone stood on the other side awkwardly. It was as if he was unsure if he should get in or not.

Worried that he might’ve been uncomfortable, you spoke up. “You’re free to sleep on the couch if you want. You don’t have to sleep next to me.”

“Oh no, that’s fine.” He assured you. “I’ve just never slept next to someone before. Let alone my partner.”

“Oh, yeah. Well there’s a first for everything, I guess.”

A bit reluctantly, he crawled onto the bed, slipping underneath the covers.

“Well, goodnight.” You said.

Right before you reached over to turn your lamp off, Baritone placed a hand of your shoulder. You turned to look at him, and was met with his lips on your cheek.

“Goodnight.” He then fully lied down, turning his back to you.

“Gosh, you little sneak.” You snickered. He chuckled as well, though it was barely audible.

After turning off the light, you lied down as well, and you both went to sleep.

~~~~

In the middle of the night, and you had woken up needing to go to the bathroom. But as you tried to get up, you felt something stopping you from doing so. When you heard a sleepy groan from above you, you realized that Baritone was behind you.

His arms wrapped fully around your waist, and his head rested on yours. You tried your best not to laugh, nearly failing.

As much as you needed to get up, you figured you could wait a little bit. Besides, you would want to get up in this situation?
