If the GCEA Baritone is tuned up to the same pitch as the GCEA Soprano (except for the low G), then what is the point of the much larger instrument? I had thought that the GCEA Baritone was tuned an octave lower than the Soprano, but now I'm told that isn't the case. Apparently, the GCEA Baritone is tuned exactly like the GCEA Tenor. I guess I'm missing the point somewhere. Would someone out there who plays a GCEA Baritone please tell me what the advantage of the larger instrument with high pitched strings is? Thanks!
