  1. Eb Baritone
    I'm a soprano/tenor player who recently switched to bari for wind ensemble, and I find that the reed cases provided in the reed box are not sufficient to prevent warping. So, I went on Amazon and bought a cheap Vandoren one that also happened to be the only one available. It actually worsened...

    I play bari, I have been for a few months, I switched from alto to bari. When I tried my harness on, even after tightening it, it will not fit me, it is too big. For reference I am 5"8, 105-110 pounds, my waist is 22 inches and my chest is only slightly bigger. I need to find a harness that fits...
  3. Eb Baritone
    Howdy y'all. Just got a restored and overhauled bari sax back from the shop. I mentioned tuning issues I'd had with it prior to bringing it in for the work and the repair techsaid that these had been designed with larger bore mouthpieces in mind for tuning/projection. Anyone with XP on HN...
  4. Misc. Saxophone Discussion
    Hi everyone, I play tenor sax in a ska band, and im looking to purchase a used bari sax. Looking for something that will deliver rich, powerful sound without sacrificing intonation. Im interested to hear recommendations insofar as brands, models, stencils etc. Ive recently been looking into...
  5. Eb Baritone
    I want to try and 3d print some mouthpieces, I have a selmer s80 cad file, probably going to print that, but, curious to see if there are any super bright mpc files for bari. If not, I don't mind going into cad and trying to figure it out, so if anyone has like, a Durga or something, and...

    I want to ask if anyone knows good ways to do some of David browns thumb ring techniques for a high hat sound. I can kinda do it, but it's really iffy and difficult. For those who don't know, David browns wears a ring on his thumb, and hits it on his thumb rest, which is SUPER shaved down. My...
  7. Eb Baritone
    I mainly play alto and tenor, but whenever im playing bari and i need to play low notes like low C, low B and low Bb quiet for a piece i'm doing (usually quartet) I cant get them out quiet with a good sound and i'm usually louder than the sop alto and tenor every time. What are some tips for...
  8. Baritone mpc
    Hello, I recently acquired a brilhart level air baritone mouthpiece, made in 1977. The box says it’s a 7, however there is a 5 next to the 6 digit serial number so I assume it’s actually a 5. Would anyone have an idea of what the tip opening would be? Unfortunately I don’t have a gauge to...
  9. General Mouthpiece Discussion
    Hi, I'm joining a bing band soon, and would like a mouthpiece that fits the style, but doesn't break the bank. Does anyone have experience with the bari hybrid mouthpieces for baritone? And do you have thoughts about a safe bet for tip opening? Not really possible to try anything around here.
  10. Eb Baritone
    I started playing sax on the alto for about a month before going to bari where I have been for the past year. I'm thinking of switching back to alto as a lot more music is written for it and it is just more convenient to take from place to place and not as fragile (I have had to take my bari to...
  11. Clarinet
    Howdy folks that have experience playing bass clarinet and bari sax! I have more experience with bass clarinet but just started trying to learn bari sax a few months ago; my boss gave me an ancient King Zephyr bari sax that he bought in a basement in Denver for $200 years and years ago. Bari...

    just got a new bari and the neck receiver acts like a tuning slide that hasn't been oiled in a decade. should i use slide oil or cork grease or something on the neck end or inside the bari?

    Hi im using this cool mouthpiece that came with the bari im borrowing from my music school, and i was wondering if you guys can help me find out the tip opening, when its made and that kind of thing. Thanks in advance
  14. Eb Baritone
    I'd like to build a setup so I could add a sub-octave on bari. Ideally, I would use a mic on the horn going through an octave pedal (probably with preamp) but would send only the sub octave to a separate bass amp. Has anyone tried this, or has anyone found a better way to do it? The hard part...
  15. Polls and Surveys
    Hello All Woodwind Greats! Question today is: what type of sax do you have and play predominantly? Is it an alto, tenor, bari, soprano? Or do you have multiple? Would you expand on your choice? Let us know the reason for your choice. There is no right or wrong answer. It is your...
  16. Baritone mpc
    Just thought I'd create a thread here for this, in case anyone was interested in this piece. I've seen a lot about the new three SYOS originals on Alto and Tenor, but not really anything on Bari. Disclaimer: I purchased this piece on my own with my own money, so any bias in here is just because...
  17. Reeds
    Hi all, I'm a huge fan of the lighter blue box of Rigotti Gold bari reeds, but they don't seem to be available anywhere for the past 2 years. Just to clarify, I mean the filed ones without "Jazz" on the box as in this image (they are indeed filed, contrary to the box art) Does anyone know if...

    Hey all, happy to be back. I recently acquired a very old YBS-52 (dated before Yamaha took their serial numbers down, according to a Yamaha person I emailed) and it required a LOT of TLC. I'm currently working on it, but in my scrubbing I accidentally took off what was left of the Purple label...
