[@brian20023]

[@sydney6405]

[@nilzerYT]

true asf, the marching baritone is a front heavy piece of shit and im still sticking with it

[@nono-lz9qr]

Thanks for the video, I got one of the school’s baritones for marching and it’s filthy! I’ll definitely try this out later

[@giovannimedina1873]

I agree bro! My marching baritone belongs to my school and the people who used it before me didn’t take very well care of it.

[@tofu4469]

[@honkin]

bro it’s so true mines nasty

[@MMMM09]

i got mine second hand from a relative and i dont think he ever cleaned it once... my cleaning kit came today 😃

[@stevedickson4744]

Marching Drum Corps back in the '70s , when we were fortunate enough on tour to sleep at a high school gym where they left the hot water on for the locker rooms during the summer, the hornline would usta hafta shower with our horns. Chunks always came out , then the full hornline sound was cleaner.

On my baritone, which is a jupiter quantom marching baritone, on the A1 Slide i thing is what you call it according to google, is a slider thing that is hooked up to the valves and when you press and hold this button, the slide comes out a little letting you fine tune a note while you play. But since it’s connected to the slide, idk how to take it off. Also, the B1 slide i’m guessing which is the one on the 2nd, just won’t come out. I don’t know if it’s supposed to come out but there’s a crevice like where the slide would come out from. You don’t have this type of baritone but i’m just wondering. 8:17 Also, watching this physically hurts me.

[@DDMultitracks]

JJ Clark usually the thing that holds those slides in are screws. You would need to take the second valve slide out. If you can’t do it. A shop might have to do it. Also it really isn’t bad at all for the instrument if it’s on the bell. If you are outside. It’s bad because it can fall over. But on a bath mat monitored. It’s really not any cringe. You will learn when you are older.

[@jjclark56]

Dustin Does Multitracks Ok thanks man.

[@jabec0485]

I appreciate this so much!

[@maeva4617]

Thank you!!🙏

[@Unknown-gt9md]

Im a beginner wondering how you get high and low notes outta this instrumwnt and how to tell how to play a high or low note with the same fingering and get a diffrent sound

[@DRXSSYOUUP]

tighten your lips and speed air for higher notes and loosen lips for lower notes and use a tuner

[@Unknown-gt9md]

@@DRXSSYOUUP ik now

[@thomasbarber5655]

Is it okay to clean the baritone even if I can only get one tuning slide out?

[@DDMultitracks]

Thomas Barber I wouldn’t. Just because you really want to get everything out of the Instrument. With a snake. And the drying process is really important. You can try using a small cloth to pull the slides out.

[@DavidJNowak]

Sometimes a tuning slide will "stick" because it is vacuum locked. Press down on the nearest valve (usually the one closest to the mouthpiece), and it will come free.

[@thomasbarber5655]

I’ve slightly solved the problem but not quite: I got a newer baritone and all the tuning slides came out, but last week my second valve tuning slide went from super loose to super stuck and I can’t get it out. It’s not vacuum locked it’s just frozen all of a sudden….

[@mochawashere]

@@DavidJNowak You probably already knew this, but this reminded me: *PLEASE PUSH DOWN ALL OF YOUR VALVES WHEN REMOVING A SLIDE. IDK WHY BUT MY BAND DIRECTOR FLIPPED WHEN I FORGOT TO DO THIS*

[@Liletter]

I guess I have a Euphonium and I’m mistaken? I thought I had a baritone, my teacher calls it a baritone. Or is mine just not a marching baritone? Very confused.

[@DDMultitracks]

Lilette it depends. There are marching baritones and marching euphoniums. This is a marching baritone. I am not sure what you have. But the instrument in the video is a baritone. A large bore Yamaha marching baritone.

[@jjclark56]

A regular concert euphonium is a baritone with 4 valves

[@arizonagreenbee]

Their cleaning is identical, just that a euphonium has four valves

[@sceu25]

@@jjclark56 No.

[@jjclark56]

@@sceu25 I’m more experienced with baritones and euphoniums now so yep I know, I don’t remember leaving this comment a year ago lol.

[@Nylx0h]

What kind of baritone is that?

[@DDMultitracks]

Yamaha 301M

[@BS-nd9if]

this work with one thats not silver too?

[@DDMultitracks]

Yes! I mention polishing but this step wont apply on any brass that is liquored over. Process is the same, the slides may be in slightly different locations.

[@sadscaredorca7250]

I need help on step 1

[@DDMultitracks]

SadScaredOrca I forgot to mention In the video. You have to open the case to get the instrument out.

[@sadscaredorca7250]

Dustin Does Multitracks ohhhhh that makes a lot more sense thanks!

[@ronhendon6381]

[@smokin_sausage01_7]

Can you clean your baritone with warm water, mouthwash, and a cloth? It’s my first year playing this instrument. Also how often should you clean the instrument? Thank you

[@DDMultitracks]

Smokin_Sausage01_ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ I would highly advise you to not use mouthwash. Just because it has alcohol in it and alcohol can very much remove the lacquer and make the instrument look very dull. I clean mine more often than others, but I would keep it to about once a month. It’s really when I go to the Away camps and come home when I would clean it more.
