euphoniums
Conical brass horns
Euphoniums are brass instruments of the tuba family, smaller than a tuba but with the same conical bore and mellow tone.
They occupy the tenor-bass range in brass bands and wind ensembles: The euphoniums carried the melody while the tubas provided the foundation.
The name reflects the instrument's reputation for beautiful sound.
