New to bari-world

[Joe Jazz]

Folks I've been thinking about getting a bari for quite a while. I've never really seen one up close or even held one, what's the scoop on that "bottom octave key"? Please pardon my ignorance...... :?:

[Gandalfe]

You use that to play the low A. On my Yani it makes the house rumble. :D

[Joe Jazz]

Thanks for clearing that up! Is that it's only function and does it set off the neighbor's car alarm?

[blossom]

It should be the only function...
But maybe you should better no use while playing nears ships - they could be irritated *grins*

Hi Blossom! I used to sometimes watch your television show here in America when I was quite a bit younger......I bought a new Allora bari today off e-bay(from Music123.com). They're made by VMI in your country(they also make B&S saxes). Have you ever played B&S and if so what did you think? I guess I could use the bari as a foghorn if I was near a ship, depending on the weather......
