Hello there. I am an alto player currently playing a Yamaha YAS-62. I'm looking for a new horn sometime soon, and based on what I've read about Phil Barone's horns, I've decided to give them a good, hard look. I need a horn suited for both jazz and classical literature, and I'm wondering whether that should influence my decision on whether to purchase a Classic or Vintage Barone. I'm serious about both styles of music, and I don't want to be THAT GUY who plays classical with a fat, bright tone, or that guy who gets up on the bandstand with a tiny sound. I haven't heard any classical music played on a Barone, so I'm wondering how they would sound in that context. Thoughts on this?
