When we all thought at 10:17 he was gonna play and we were like FINALLY but then 5 seconds later he talks again and we are hopeless of him ever playing😂🙃
So, I play the flute. And piccolo. And I’m a colorguard girl. I’ve never touched a rEEE in my life. I joined jazz band. They needed an extra bari sax, and then I showed up. I now play bari sax. This will be fun
@@tapulamau9802 I'm only sort of a flutist too, I'm mainly a violinist but play in the band as well. Have to be ready to play grade 3 and 4 music in 3 months please send help lol. OH and I don't get the instrument for another few weeks. It's a weird situation.
Quick tip. If you don’t wanna spend anymore money and have bass clarinet reeds. They work with bari sax mouthpieces. Also if you have a leather clarinet or bass clarinet ligatures. They also work with bari sax mouthpieces
I started watching this year ago when I just hit my fourth year on bari sax now I'm revisiting it and I can say he is correct you will learn something new
@@J4ckpot23 for a bari it makes absolutely no sense to place it on the keys; the neck keeps the palm keys off the ground. He knows very little about the instrument lol
@@jamesbastanchury4126 Woah boss. No need for such language. We're here discussing instruments. You don't have to exhaust you book of insults on what you perceive to be misinformation. It's better to state your concerns in a nicer way. If you present your side with such vulgarity then noone will listen. So even if you're right, none will use your information to protect their instrument. And as that appears to be your main concern, steps should be taken to ensure it.
Very very thanks to the player of the Bariton Sax instrument. He has placed his preparation how to take step to play this instrument. I am from India. Very interesting text. God bless him.
Lizzy Flores Just keep your jaw loose, the embouchure is much more different on the bari than on alto. You also need to blow a good amount of air; dont be "afraid" of the horn. Hope this helps :)
A mouthpiece is still on a saxophone. It's what has a ligature and a reed on it. Brass instruments aren't the only one to have a mouthpiece, you know. Look it up.
so i just received my bari sax in the mail and upon playing, i cant hardly get clear notes out of it. i have been playing the alto for 5 years and the bari for barely 1, but i had gotten fairly good at it in those months. i had been using a school bari rental but because of quarantine and me moving states i haven't been playing bari in a while, and it seems i have lost the ability. i can play the alto just fine, i just seemed to forget how to create the facial mold on the bari sax... help?
When talking about embouchure, absolutely DO NOT place your top teeth on the mouth peice. If you look at his mouth peice, you can see clear teeth marks where he has used this BAD HABIT and over time, dented the mouthpiece. Proper embouchure would be to mimic the position of your bottom lip with your top lip. This will ensure you do not damage your mouthpiece and will make sure ALL of your air goes into the instrument and you are not wasting air by allowing it to escape above the mouthpiece. It will be more tiring at first but do not fall victim to biter's mouth. Over time your embouchure will become stronger and you will not get tired as easily. Practice good technique and if you get tired, allow yourself time to rest and if can't, do lip stretches. (Take a deep breath and push the air out through closed lips. Its that thing that when you do it in slow motion it looks really funny because it looks like your lips are dancing)
I've met very few people who play the saxophone with a double embouchure as you describe. Is that a classical thing? I'm a jazz player and there is absolutely nothing wrong with placing your teeth on the mouthpiece. A patch will save your teeth and mouthpiece, and no air leaks away.
it depends, if tenor or alto sax was your primary instrument, your good, Remember alto sax is E flat, and tenor is B flat, but bari is ALSO E flat. and other than tenor baritone sax is MUCH harder to play perfectly. So this means Bari is different with scales, and note pitch ect, if you want more info on bari sax, go to my yt channel i can help you
I play bass clarinet but might switch to bari sax for marching band, not sure if im gonna like it cuz ive never played a saxophone before but its worth a try
Lol I asked and she said yeah, except 2 things The things really broken And it doesnt have a case so shes scared to send it off for repairs Also me too
Actually, I am starting on a baritone sax on Wednesday, a friend is going to be guiding me through it. Never touched any sax before. :) I understand it is heavier and harder to work with, but I have a history with other large instruments so I know to handle it with care. (For example, I played upright bass as of last year.)
@@Kami_North Alright man, you do you! I respect your decision. Just my opinion. I never really handled a large instrument before. I've only played alto.
Use the covered storage compartment for the accessories. Why is it just laying around the case? Don't soak reeds in water. It causes them to get waterlogged.
The problem was that my school couldn't even afford a bari, so we had to play alto. Yes it is so hard that i had to play an instrument that is virtually the mini bari.
I have been playing 4 separate brass instruments; tuba, euphonium, Trumpet, and French horn, I recently wanted to try to play wood wind and my teacher recommended bari sax. (I also play piano)
I’m 13 and was given one day to learn and play it aaaaah help. They really think ik how Bc I played alto for one year but since COVID I forgot everything Bc ITS BEEN A YEAR. Goodluck!
If you want actual tips, here ya go. Soaking a Reed will not make you automatically better. Wet doesnt mean drench (in genral tip). Slow air, if this is your first time playing any saxophone, I recommend you hammer keeping it far enough in your mouth so that you can play low notes but dont sound like a boat horn. Also make sure that you apply a little amount of pressure, one I got this down I want from being able to play b 95% of the time, straight to c 95% of the time (6 notes!!) And also, if you need to play a new note that's lower, and you just cant play it, you should slur down to it (slurring being playing one note, and going to another without stopping) cant play a b? Do c and slur down to it. Lastly, dont give up. It took me 3 weeks to get which for a tenor that swapped to bari is good. These are beginner tips, but if you have any other questions I'll be happy to help.
@The Smiler Synthetic reefs are reeds that are synthetic instead of cane like you would usually use. The nice thing about synthetic reeds is that your reed will stay wet and it won’t deteriorate as quickly.
