Hello... I will conduct this review as part of my GA pledge. I played the French horn; very similar to the euphonium! Bgsu98 (Talk) 21:06, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

Hey, @Bgsu98! I just wanted to bring attention to a discussion on the sister baritone horn page: Talk:Baritone horn#Bell front baritones/euphoniums Why? I Ask (talk) 21:59, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

User:Jonathanischoice: I just wanted to apologize for the delay. I have finished reading through this article and it is extremely well-written, so there will be very few comments. I will return to this later this afternoon. Bgsu98 (Talk) 17:24, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

Thank you! I will attend to these soon. — Jon (talk) 21:40, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

Comments (11/13/25)

I have made some minor edits, mostly dealing with commas.

The invention of valves

• It was probably a larger bore version of the Tenorhorn, later often called the Baryton. – Probably? This doesn't read as encyclopedic.

  Fixed

• In Italy around this time, the Milan maker Giuseppe Pelitti developed his bombardino... – Maker of what?

  Fixed

The earliest modern euphoniums

• In Austria-Hungary, the instrument maker Václav František Červený built his Baroxyton in 1852, a four valve baritone instrument. – I strongly recommend rewriting as In Austria-Hungary, the instrument maker Václav František Červený built his Baroxyton, a four valve baritone instrument, in 1852.

  Addressed

Compensating valves

• Usually older instruments, these similarly route the tubing of the third valve back through the first two, to bring the notes C3 and B2 in tune. – I've read this a few times and I don't think it's actually a sentence. It needs to be rewritten.

  I have attempted to clarify/simplify the explanation

Orchestral repertoire

• Euphonium is also called for in Leoš Janáček's Sinfonietta (1926)... – Recommend beginning the sentence with "The euphonium..."

  Fixed

User:Jonathanischoice: I will do the image and source reviews this afternoon. Let me know when you have a chance to examine the above comments, and let me know if you have any questions. Bgsu98 (Talk) 20:50, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

Image review (11/13/25)

Images have appropriate licenses and captions. Recommend adding appropriate alt-text per MOS:ALTTEXT. Bgsu98 (Talk) 21:36, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

I have gone through and edited/added alt tags to all the images. Cheers! Jon (talk) 23:25, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
