The article said : The bore of a true baritone is cylindrical rather than
conical like U.S. instruments. The only true baritone is the English
Baritone that is used in British brass bands.

I must beg to differ. The baritone used in British brass bands evolved from
the Sax family of instruments, and is, and always has been conically bored
! (not chronically boring - as one euphoniumist said !!!)
