The term bass-baritone is sometimes used to mean a singer who has a range just slightly higher than that of a bass.
The word "baritone" is often applied to instruments to indicate their range in relation to other instruments of the same group. For instance the baritone saxophone. There is also a brass instrument called the baritone horn; it is unreleated to the French horn.
See also soprano, alto, timbre
