I am so glad I found this solid review (5 years after you made it, April 2023). It’s time for me to upgrade and move on. I have a wonderful workhorse vintage Martin bari. It looks as though it’s been used hard, but it sounds amazing. Had a thumb rest added in a very different position, but it’s still not comfortable for some of the hand issues I have. I’m finding more and more need for the low A. I’m playing a lot more than I ever thought possible since I’ve been sort of forced to retire. Thought the bari would be for “once in a while,” but now I’m the bari player in a big band, as needed for the local college jazz ensemble, and a few other summer bands, a couple community bands, and at church. It’s a lot, and I’m loving it and making up for lost time by having a career and raising kids - there just wasn’t time. Anyway, at this point, I need something more ergonomically appropriate for me. I’m planning a trip to Sweetwater to play the dark lacquer horn (I didn’t see this one on their website). Love the look of the black pearl, but it appears Sweetwater doesn’t have it and I have concerns that the plated horn will not have the sound I need for primarily jazz and (conservative) church playing. The community bands wouldn’t know bright vs dark sound if it hit them in the head. Obviously, I need to hold it, feel it, play it, and hear it. BUT - How does it hold up? Is it a “forever horn?” I’m 57. It’s a giant investment for me. My old Martin is tried and true, 75 years old, and still trucking (my tech keeps it at its best - regular visits to that guy!). I have a Syos custom mouthpiece with an extended shank (for jazz, needed a bright sound) because it played sharp for me regardless of what I did. I know this is long…. I see other people post things about horns “not holding up.” I’m not sure what that means - do they abuse them, not take care of them, or what? How does one just “not hold up?” I have a Selmer student alto from 1964, needs some air leaks fixed and some pads replaced when the day comes a grandchild wants to play it. But it’s certainly serviceable. I have a 1938 Martin alto, 1945 Buescher tenor, and the 1948 Martin bari. They are still trucking. So, why would a gorgeous pro horn such as this one possibly “not hold up?” (Would love any thoughts on that! Thank you in advance!)

Hello! I just watched this video (April 2023) and reading reviews to find people who actually own P Mauriat bari horns. I’m looking to buy one (300, the dark vintage lacquer finish, but now this gorgeous cognac one needs considered!). Finish aside - I see reviews of some horns where people say they “don’t hold up.” Not sure if they abuse them or what, but - how is this horn for you? Do you still own it? Play it much? Would you call it a “forever horn” for someone looking to upgrade/update from a vintage workhorse (that weighs as much as one)? I would greatly appreciate if you could reply. Thank you in advance!

Hello! So I recently acquired a Chu Berry Tenor sax from my grandfather. It isn't in the best of shape, but I hope to get it fixed up soon. I was wondering, would it be worth it to buy older instruments rather than new ones? I'd like to get a matching alto to go with it but I am not sure whether it would be worth it. I have heard older instruments have good sound due to the materials they are made of, but I don't know much besides that. I hope you can help! :)

A lot of vintage horns didn't have a low A, and many of the best bari players known to man played on them. Some find them preferable to Low A baris, because the bottom of the horn speaks a little better without the extra 8 inches of tubing.
