- The Euphonium is a Brass instrument, pitched in the key of concert B-flat, and it resembles a small tuba. It is very similar to the Baritone Horn.
- The euphonium is a valve instrument, like the trumpet, cornet and baritone, and like all except the trumpet, is common in Salvation Army brass bands. It's usually a C insturment and it compares to the trombone the same way a cornet compares to a trumpet. It shares the same size mouthpiece as a trombone and plays alot of the same music. They often come with 3 valves but they have been known to have 4 vavles for hitting lower notes or even having 2 bells determined by a 4rth valve. The 2nd bell in a double bell euphonium is equal to a trombonium (an insturment halfway between a trombone and a euphonium). It is an insturment that is commonly started during middle school and is often used along with the trombone/woodwinds parts.
- A euphonium was one of the instruments played during Geordi La Forge's and Ro Laren's funeral party aboard the USS Enterprise-D in 2368. (TNG: "The Next Phase" )

- The euphonium is a conical-bore, tenor-voiced brass instrument. It derives its name from the Greek word euphonos, meaning "well-sounding" or "sweet-voiced" (eu means "well" or "good" and phonos means "of sound", so "of good sound"). The euphonium is a valved instrument; nearly all current models are piston valved, though rotary valved models do exist.

The euphonium is a valved instrument; nearly all current models are piston valved, though rotary valved models do exist. A person who plays the euphonium is sometimes called a euphoniumist, euphophonist, or a euphonist, while British players often colloquially refer to themselves as euphists. Similarly, the instrument itself is sometimes referred to as eupho or euph.

The answer is very simple, and best explained through song. Because of the tendency of all other instruments to sound like crap, many composers write many intricate and difficult passages for other instruments which are then doubled on Euphonium, knowing that the Euphonium will be able to play the part when other instruments can not. A notable example is Barnum and Bailey's Favorite by K.L. King, where the Euphonium is doubled on many parts. Eventually, King gives up and just hands the melody over to Euphonium. This is actually a very common occurrence in many marches, such as The Melody Shop (also by K.L. King), infamous for its prominent (but pretty easy) Euphonium part during the trio.
