User:Peter239/Tenorhorn

The oval-shaped B♭ Tenorhorn is commonly used in Eastern Europe as a middle voice in brass bands and has a prominent solo in the opening movement of Mahler's 7th Symphony. The tenorhorn has a similar bore to the instrument known in America and the UK as the baritone horn and uses a cup shaped mouthpiece interchangable with the other members of the baritone-euphonium-trombone family of brass instruments (as opposed to the tapered mouthpiece of the horn or wagner tuba). Oval tenorhorns were initially created for use in military marching bands, where it was important for the bell not to obstruct the player's line of sight.
