My band throw shade at me but im the only full time bari player so they say my part is boring so I don't grow which is infuriating

It really isn’t it cant anchor the band like the Low brass does it?

@@Evanw10282 As someone who has played both, I would say that the Bari gives a sense of grounding, I’ve played without baris before and even as a bass bone I didn’t really feel grounded In terms of the saxes, most of the time they should blend with the Bari sound, as it is essentially it’s bass and therefore it’s ground In terms of the band, Bari, bass, and bass bone gives the ground, trombones give support, and tenors give countermelodies, while alto and trumpet give melody (for most charts)

@@BariBone Sorry, forget this comment I wrote it 2 months ago. Anyways it does give the band a grounding, like all the other instruments in its range(trombone/baritone/tuba/bass clarinet) although I mistake it for bass clarinet sometimes so I understand now. Also this is a quick question would switching from bass clarinet to trombone be good? I don’t know if you would know but it’s similar to the sax.

@@BariBone They should sound like one. Usually

Ikr? It's so fun, but it's a struggle carrying around.

Hannah the Musician yeah I play the bari sax in a marching band

Axl Brito ooo, your tough...try bass on for size

Art Deco city Architecture oh so you’ve marched bass sax in marching band?

Agreed

Laser Cat He's good, but that category goes to Harry Carney.

That category goes to Gerry Mulligan

Gui Tupinamba Gerry sounds breathy

Yeah, so does Stan Getz and Paul Desmond. I really like that warm airy sound

I think Leo P or Ronnie Cuber

Kris Merrells just say god damn dude 😂😂

-$&&#!:&//+!!!! :-)

I do have an old Buescher 400 baritone sax and it sounds like his bari. Does anyone knows what model mister Temperlay played?

I noticed that too. Just perfect.

I looked up when he died, and he died on my birthday. That's so sad.

Hannah the Musician omg he died on my birthday too what

@@maxbehymer8535 wtf a day before mine

RheaAC5 Sax is one of the easiest instruments out there.

No

@@unfantardical6290 That's the biggest lie in the universe

Ꭰɾҽąʍքҽɾ it's not, bro, trust me.

@@unfantardical6290 It really depends

Yeah, the lower range of the oboe isn’t that beautiful.

Woodwinds become shrill in the upper register (sousa's famous picolo counterpoint in stars and stripes is quite illustritive of how woodwinds tend to behave up high.) - which is why we usually have 4 Horns in F to balance out the classical ensemble.

Classic arranging technique!

Sir Nexus what’s the name?

@@chriscofer8773 coco by duke ellington, some of the first words he says in the video

Webby The Dino You just need to practice alot, I've already achieved a "buzzy" tone after alot of practice.

Soft reeds with lots of support.

Webby The Dino vibrato 😂😂

Putting quite a lot of air into the instrument

He plays a low Bb bari sax, which has quite a different sound than the low a bari’s we have today, I prefer low Bb bari saxes.

I play and my left hand is barely capable of playing low Bb side key but such is life I'm not gonna stop playing

Yeah that really great

I’ve been playing bari for three years and I’ve stretched my pinky to play those low notes so much that when I relax my right hand my pinky is stretched away from all my other fingers. My friend who plays the French horn has it even worse because I’m pretty sure the left pinky supports the whole instrument.

Petite sax player here. Same. Ended up trying and getting an Allora Bari and the right hand spatula keys are actually placed well within reach. Hobby saxophonist only but the instrument is made well and sounds great. If you’re looking at others I believe they make some sort of extension mechanism that can be slipped over the keys to make them within reach. Nonetheless good luck with your Bari future.

It's a selmer balanced action I believe

I strongly suspect that the person playing the sax, rather than the manufacturer of the sax, deserves the lion’s share of the credit for how it sounds

It a 1950s Selmer Super Balanced Action that I bought from Jack Nimitz in 1985 and eventually sold to Joe. This is the original neck but it has been silver plated. Joe went out and found a vintage Selmer mouthpiece from the same period for the horn. (He usually played a Conn with a metal Link mouthpiece.) He was definitely not a Selmer baritone fan but occasionally borrowed this horn from me on short trips to the UK and kept bugging me to sell it to him. I don’t believe he used this Selmer horn and mouthpiece on big band gigs as he could not get enough volume but liked to play it with smaller groups.

Bo B A-Sax is a woodwind inst,not brass B-It’s role is to support the other instruments,it has parts of trumpets,tromb and sax in his sheet usually

Juanlu Lourido as you can tell by my ignorance I'm a not really a horn guy, even though I love the sound.. thanks for the clarification

Bo B Ur welcome

question. is the clarinet made of wood?

u no high quality ones are. Cheaper clarinets are made of a special plastic

Go listen to some Gerry Mulligan if you want warm bari

Most baris go down to a low a, which has a longer bell. However, some like this bari and the one I use, only go down to low b flat, which results in a shorter bell.

Skip :] oh it looks weird on a bari with a short bell like if i we're to stick my hand in there it may not fit

In addition to being a Bb bari, this is probably a vintage horn - a Buescher or Conn, for example. Those horns have a shorter look to them vs a newer Yamaha, Keilwerth, Selmer, etc. edit: He was definitely a Conn man - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mZtpfZVm1dfTiX0.html

Except that's a Selmer...….

Have we come to this? I thought you were being a smartypants in the very long running Low A vs. Low Bb baritone sax argument, but it seems you are actually unaware. Many (& me) will venture: That's a large component of getting that tone. Two companies (at least) still offer them, P. Mauriat (Taiwan)and Rampone & Cazzani (Italy)

Jhon Smithers lol buy a saxholder

I have one but my fan broke so I used my sax holder to hold it up.

Jhon Smithers I see

Then you've never heard a real Bari sax player

@@adithyasriram633 i did its loud but there are louder instruments

Well it depends on the player

@its jxy It doesn’t have to be.

In jazz band, I play bari and I’m the loudest sax out of the altos and tenors, but compared to trombones and trumpets then yeah no comparison.
