In a band pass filter, a first elastic wave resonator includes a first base board type and a first electrode configuration significantly improved or optimal for frequency characteristics of the first elastic wave resonator, and a second elastic wave resonator includes a second base board type and a second electrode configuration significantly improved or optimal for frequency characteristics of the second elastic wave resonator. A first attenuation pole provided by the first elastic wave resonator and a second attenuation pole provided by the second elastic wave resonator is steeper than if the first elastic wave resonator and the second elastic wave resonator that have different frequency characteristics include electrodes having the same configuration on the same types of base boards.
