Leen Vandenhende

Welcome!

I am currently Solo Baritone at Festival Brass Band, former Solo Baritone with Brassband Willebroek (BE) and Brassband Schoonhoven (NL). In demand as a guest player with leading fanfare and brass bands in Europe and a couple of years ago I was invited by Katrina Marzella to play with the world's most famous brass band Black Dyke Band. 

I play the Sterling Virtuoso Baritone and Randefalk R4B Gold mouthpiece.

Keen to promote the baritone horn as a solo instrument within the brass band world but also to seek wider recognition for it as an ensemble instrument. Since the coronavirus (2020) doesn't allow us to play at band, I would like to keep performing through this channel. 

The baritone horn is not a euphonium..and depending on the country, a baritone is not a baritone. What they call baritone in Japan and the U.K. is called tenor horn in German-speaking countries. And, what we call a euphonium is quite like what they call a baritone in Germany (ref. Yamaha trivia).

Enjoy!
