[redneckbari]

i've marched bari for 3 years now and this is what i tell all the newbies...... .........your sax is supported in 3 places....neckstrap hook, left hand , and the right hand......the neckstrap hook is your pivot point....the right hand holds most of the weight...and the left hand stabalizes the horn and keeps it in position........ ..... .... .... ... ......the rest is just getting used to it...........**also..**.....you should try adjusting the strap/harness to a shorter position while marching, than when playing in a concert setting......this should bring the horn closer to you and make the "rigid position" a little more comfortable
