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?

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! 🎶🎹😀

** "previously" can refer to any amount of time. If you played for like a week, I'd count that. But it's ultimately up to you to decide

Baritone had been to Kanon town plenty of times before. But this time seemed so different. And the reason for that was plain as day.

Cameras, props and staff filled the streets. Everyone moved around with such certainty, as if they were being controlled. But they were just doing their jobs. He imagined they’d been practicing for quite some time.

You had invited him to look behind the scenes of the filming of a movie you’re in. He had never seen you act in person before, so he obviously accepted the offer. And he was quite excited.

As he got closer to the scene, a man blocked his path. “I’m sorry, sir, but you’re going to need to take a different route. We’re filming in this area.”

Taking a closer look at him, Baritone saw an ID attached to the man’s shirt that showed he was a part of the staff.

“Excuse me, but I’m actually here for (full name).” He stated calmly.

“And what’s your relation to them?” The man drilled.

“I’m their boyfriend. They said I could look around here today; see what goes on behind the scenes.” He talked with his typical, confident attitude to try to convince to him he was being truthful.

The man hummed. “I think I remember them mentioning something like that. What did they say your name was? Barry?”

“Baritone.” He corrected, almost offended.

“Yeah, that. Give me a moment to check with them.” Without waiting for an answer, the man left.

Baritone scoffed, irritated that he had to deal with this. But he supposed it was to be expected. You were a pretty well known actor, after all. He couldn’t just be immediately be trusted when claiming to be your boyfriend. So he figured he could suck it up.

After waiting a few moments, the man came back. “Looks like you’re good. Follow me.” He gestured for him to move forward. Baritone obeyed, while flipping his cape a bit as some sort of sassy victory.

On the way, he took sight of his surroundings. There were tons of cameras, lights and countless other devices that he didn’t even know about. He barely knew about technology at all to begin with. His homeland, Major Land, didn’t have anything like that. It hurt his brain a bit to try to understand what all those devices did.

A few people he assumed to be other actors could be seen getting their makeup done or reciting their lines. They were always surrounded by staff members, making sure all their needs were met. Baritone hadn’t really seen many movies, only the ones you were in. But he could tell how legit this was. He couldn’t help but feel some sort of importance by being able to be behind the scenes like this.

After a bit more walking and zigzagging past other people, he finally caught sight of you. You sat in your own little chair, and a makeup artist stood right in front of you, doing the finishing touches on your face.

“Here he is, Mx. (last name).” The man announced, gesturing to Baritone.

You whipped your head in his direction excitedly, startling the makeup artist. “Baritone! Hi!” You hopped out of your chair, rushing over to give him a hug. He happily accepted it.

“Hello, (name).” He greeted. “Are you going to start filming soon?”

“Yeah, in just a few minutes. I was just getting the rest of my makeup done. Oh!” You finally realized you had practically abandoned the makeup artist without warning. “Sorry!”

They just chuckled. “It’s okay. But we should really finish up now.”

“Yeah, you’re right.” You gave Baritone an apologetic smile, before heading back to your chair. “Feel free to look around. It’s your first time seeing how movies are made, right?” You told him.

“Yes. But I’ll stay here. I want to see you act.” He said, walking over to stand next to where you were sitting.

“Alright. It won’t be too long.” You assured him.

~~~~

“Action!” The director called from his seat. Everyone on set went silent, knowing that only the actors were allowed to speak at this time.

Baritone waited in anticipation. He couldn’t care less about whoever the other actors were, or even the story itself. He just wanted to see you in your element.

And there you were. After turning the corner, you performed what you had practiced. “What are you doing here? I thought I told you to never come back.”

Your acting was so convincing. It was as if you transformed into the character themself. It shocked Baritone that you weren’t more famous. You had an unbelievable amount of talent.

It made him realize how lucky he was to be dating you. He’d be lying if he said it didn’t feel really cool being with such an awesome actor. Watching you act was so mesmerizing to him, he didn’t notice how much time had passed until the scene was done.

The moment the director called “Cut!”, Baritone rushed over to you, grabbing your water bottle from next to your chair on the way.

“(name), that was wonderful.” He complimented, handing you the drink.

“Thank you!” You wasted no time opening the cap, and taking big sips of the water. Beads of sweat rolled down your face, a clear sign of your hard work.

“So you’re done for the day?” Baritone asked.

You let out a refreshed exhale once you finished drinking. “Yeah. You wanna head home with me?”

“Of course.” He held out his hand, to which you gladly took.

On your way out, many people stopped to congratulate you on your performance. You thanked all of them humbly, and Baritone just watched with a smile. He was genuinely proud of your talent, and it made him happy that he could be with someone like that.

“Wanna watch a movie when we get back?” You asked, snapping him out of his thoughts.

“Sure.”

“Cool. Any ideas?”

Baritone chuckled a bit before giving his answer. “One with you in it.”
