Hi everybody,
My music teacher at college has no bari players, so I voluntered to play, (I have previous experience with a yanigasawa bari) and I played the school bari and it was awful! Mother of pearl keys were missing, the mouthpiece was green, I struggled to get the notes out and could make it from palm key f to G and my music teacher struggled to play, not to mention the smell. I carried the bari home, (OUCH! Pulled muscle in my back) and struggled to play it even though I changed I did various different things with my mouth and took it back two days later. (The bari sax said Adolphe Sax on it!?)
So this brings me to my question, where could I get a reasonable quality bari? I have seen gear 4 music, (am unsure) and found an offer on sax.co.uk: http://www.sax.co.uk/acatalog/Elkhart_Baritone_Saxes.html
anybody know anywhere else? I know saving is required but I play bari alot in various groups and if I had one it would be useful.
