What's the difference between a ("an" just doesn't sound right...) euphonium and a baritone? I thought they were the same thing.

It is "a," and euphoniums are bigger.

It's the same thing that makes cornets different than trumpets: Euphonium piping is more conical which mellows it out a bit.

if needed, we could cut the guard down some more to add more horns...

Now we're getting somewhere!

Rule of thumb, if it comes before a vowel SOUND it is an, if it comes before a consonant SOUND it is a regardless of the first letter of the next word:

for example AN HP Printer (when you say HP the first syllable sounds like it begins with A)

A euphonium, the first syllable sounds like it begins with Y.
