Baritone, a voice range and a wind instrument. The baritone voice is the male singing voice intermediate between the bass and the tenor, having a normal compass of about two octaves upward from the second A below middle C. The instrument called a baritone is brass, with a cup mouthpiece, a conical bore, three valves, and the same general range as the trombone.The term baritone is often also applied to similarly pitched brass instruments such as the euphonium, which has a narrower bore and four or five valves, and the tenor horn, which is a three-valved relative of the cornet.
