@@jacob1931 Haha

chese

My high school would provide dirt cheap instruments to anyone who didn’t have one and they had a bari so I think you’re wrong

YOURE SO RIGHT😂

Minor7thb9 I eat the gloves

@@abrahammusicm5544 ?

@@abrahammusicm5544 🤣🤣🤣🤣

That’s what your supposed to do

I have small hands so I never wear sax gloves

Depends how much YOU can afford, doesn't it?

same

You could just say: Bari Saxes (saxi?) are not affordable

@@kianasears463 as for me, and many others

Shii that’s what I said

Jonathan Fragale exactly.

It sounds fuller and fatter to me than edgy.

I honestly like the edge on the sound. But that's because of me being a pep band player

Straight all day the curved looks clownish 😅

Couple of comparison videos. dawkesmusic Straight Soprano Sax vs Curved Soprano Sax Sax.co.uk Straight Vs Curved Soprano 5:07 Personally I like the Arabic sound of the straight, don't like the two necks, prefer the one piece as octave mech looks flimsy. Think the curved sounds strange, although Derek Nash blows one, got 5 of his CDs, seen him lots. PS If you go on long drives his Flatiron Suite is soothing - seen it live - omg what a marathon blow!

Ryan Harvey hell naww the curved sounds wayyyyy more pleasing

Ryan Harvey it may look like a toy, but it does stop non musicians from asking, "Oh my god is that a golden clarinet?"

Exactly! What we can't hear in the videos is how easy it plays. How ergonomically you can hold your hands, the strength of the springs, etc. We'd need to hear a beginner trying hard to get a sound out of the horns and see if he/she fails more often on one than on the other. ;) Jay may be so good that he compensates subconsciously for minor imperfections that can be serious obstacles for others.

@@berger6777 in that case he should have said it in the video... if not it's a sponsor...

There’s a point to which this holds true, but my saxophone is fully in order, and I need a new one soon. It just doesn’t do the things I need it to do. I have to fight good tones out of it, and it’s nowhere near easy to play more than one very niche style on it. Yes, for a much more causal player than I, it doesn’t really matter, but outgrowing saxophones is a thing. (I’m talking about altos fyi, not baris yet)

@Jason Russo Well. You probably don’t know how a comparison test is performed. First step, you have to do the blind test, sometimes a double blind test. A real test is not a comparative test. A real test is that you are playing a song for an audience that doesn’t know that it is the saxophone sound that is tested. Then you do the same test with the same song for another audience that supposed to be similar to the first one. Then you create a questionnaire and ask about a lot including the sound of the saxophone. No way you will get different answers. The human mind is terrible to hear or taste differences. As long as the saxophones are in perfect order you won’t hear any difference when using the same mouthpiece, read and player. Anathotical evidence does not count.

Do not forget how much work goes into establish the optimum bore-design, the ergonomic details, size/placement of toneholes, the key-system-interdependency-design- etc. All that work is being stolen by copy-cats

Pipsiroller I have the same issue but I play tenor. I’m planning on doing a rent-to-own program from a local music store as my first big purchase as an adult.

Look at cannonball music Bari -- Bought one for my son and he loves it

I have the same problem. I’m playing a great selmer as a senior in HS this year and don’t know what I’m gonna do next year

@@jamesdedonato5819 there is one my Jean Paul I heard is pretty good

Are the Cannonball baritone saxophones good?

yesssss

Ya

You mean more edge?

Thanks for the follow up report. Very good to know but I’m not surprised.

That's useful info. I'm considering this horn. How is the comfort, ergonomic level? How does it feel in your hands? I play Mark VI tenor and alto.

@@kennethellison9713 The ergonomics work for me. The horn is much lighter than my brother's Yani, and I second the comment that mouthpiece, reed, and player make a huge difference in sound. I dispensed with the mouthpiece supplied with the horn asap.

@@lawrencewylie2374 Agreed, one's sound is one's sound. The feel of the horn is paramount. Thanks for your prompt reply :)

@@lawrencewylie2374 Really much lighter? The weight of my Yani is my only gripe with the thing

i hope it’s real 😬😶

@@pesi_kan3979 considering they’re all made in china or india 😳

Soooooo.. Where is the video?

@@ishfoxergamer1415 It's still on my camera. I forgot about my above comment. Oops.

I wanna play Bari Sax for Jazz Band. I've never played one but I'm guessing it's really easy than Clarinet which I play. My main instrument is Bassoon

You can do that with most bari saxes, two handles just makes it easier😂😂😂

I can see where two handles would be VERY nice when loading it into the back of your van.

@@michaelthomas4805 Good point man!

Theres the Sakkusu one for $5kish if somebody decides they desperately need a bass sax on a "budget"

uh...if you are a saxophonist, you are a crazy person. Sorry.

let me know how it works out.

how it works?! thank you, I need your review either

If you dont mind me asking, where were you able to purchase it? Amazon is selling it for $4600 (instead of $2300) and it seems to be out of stock on the Singer's Day website.

@@michaeldk119 I bought it last April. They said I would get in June, but it was delivered within 2 weeks. I have played the heck out of it and I love it. I did pay about $2300. Sorry to hear they're so hard to get now.

I did get it from Amazon.

@@michaeldk119 they just restocked it on amazon and other sites

Do you know how much it weighs? I borrowed 2 different baris from 2 friends and stepped on my scale with and without the bari. One was 12 lbs and the other 12.5. I was wondering about the Singer bari sax?

What about Yamaha's Mark 6 knock off?

@@kroganpopy9206 I do hope that was a joke and the sarcasm just got lost in cyberspace

I don't know@@sreeser3512, was it?

So.. here we are two years later. Is this bari still working out for you?

These clones, like this one, the saxes they are cloned from often are swappable with the hosts parts! I know this directly from my Tech!

@@XIIMonkeysMusicGroup not true and not even close to being right. Having run a shop that worked on horns, often times we had to make parts fit.

This comment made me realize just how bad music terminology would sound out of context

Great to hear the shipping was fast and you like the horn!

Also the Kessler & Sons Solist bari. I did purchase this bari directly from Singers Day. I’ve owned it six-ish months now. Maybe that made a difference, but mine plays very well in tune. Very easy hit low A. I use a Jody Jazz HR* mouthpiece. Also, I found with Leger reeds I can get a little more bark out of it. I play jazz, swing, Motown, and some rock. It’s working wonderfully for me.

I have a Thomann Bari pro PB model which is a grade up from the 150 bought it 5yrs ago for 2500€ but now is over 4K an excellent sax have gigged and recorded with it no problems.

sad

You could also look at a Kessler Solist. I LOOOVE it and my sax teacher now recommends it to students. Less than $3000.

@@joannathorman6069 Thanks, I'll look into it too

Good luck with the new horn

That's good to hear. I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on that same purchase, but I am so nervous.

@@Tigerblade11238 dude don't be. My only regret is not getting the silver one

thanks, I've been uploading Wednesday lately though...

Abedin Subashi He should review it for sure. Seems too good to be true!

Sorry, I think I bought the last one Amazon had a couple of months ago. Other vendors occasionally put up lightly used specimens. These were $1050 to $1085USD or so when Amazon was selling them new. Budget some $$ for repairs - mine plays well enough but the neck tenon is loose even though the instrument is new. At least on my specimen, low B, Bb and A are easy to play even with the loose neck; that doesn't always happen with Chinese saxes.

That's actually my listing (used-VG). Let me know if you want anymore info. or a play test video. I can do better on the price off of amazon and the wonderful 15% commission they charge for selling musical instruments.

@@tomswift6198 Yeah, I had to source a new neck for mine, works great the 2nd time around. I actually bought 2 new necks for it.

Kadrian Thomas I agree with you. I do think the major difference in sound is the fact that Jay has had time to break in his professional Yanigisawa so the response and sound would be a lot rounder than a new sax coming out of a box.

True Kadrian, but I also think that edgy sound is because of the newness of the sax and from two different instrument maker.

Shanay Pringle that’s a good point right there.

Belinda Davis I must agree with you, no matter the brand or quality of a sax, if it’s new it will sound different from one that’s already been worked in.

Kadrian Thomas I'm positive Jay could get that horn to sound like his if he works it in for some weeks.

used is the way to go. I go that Yanagisawa used for a steal.

The difference is less pronounced in the recording but it does play very well considering the price. It's easier to make the video when the horn is really good...

I got my 901 for $2000 about 14 years ago. Like new condition. Was a bargain!
