wel, i finally got my bari back from the shop.$ 200 worth of damage. Quinn the Eskimo took care of me right away . tech did a good job restoring pigtail and tone hole.
played the horn all day yesterday and today. man, what a sound. big, fat, lush bari sound !! had to ventilate the high A better and set a few other key heights to fine tune intonation and now it really smokes.
I am using a jody jazz classic mouthpiece and played the horn for about an hour and loved the pure deep sound. wasn't sure if i would like the spoiler ( i don't on alto or tenor). the core sound remained the same but the sound boost was huge. projection was increased along with tonal quality. Really love the sound.
I don't know how to finger any bari altissimo. this horn has no fork F or an F# key. tried adding B flat key to F fingering for an F # no luck. I've blown some harmonic notes including F4 (LH 1, octave , just fingered that to see what it would blow) but have no idea of the other fingerings.
any bari altissimo charts for no fork F horns ?
