Improving your baritone saxophone tone

A very short tip here to get fuller, richer sound on the lower saxophones: simply put more mouthpiece in your mouth. Don’t default to alto sax or even clarinet position, you need to swallow a little bit more mouthpiece to get the optimum sound.
I play baritone on a number of recordings, see here for details:

Hey Neal, I have been playing proffesionally on the baritone sax for about a year, and I did subconsiously defaulted to the alto position. The real danger of this mouth position is that it doesn't actively sound bad, it just sounds a little worse than it could be. This small tip has def improved my sound a tad and has vastly improved the volume I can produce out of my sax. This is one of those rare "One weird tricks" that actually really works! Thanks

You said you played professional can you help me. I’ve just started playing the baritone sax and I need some help getting down to some of the low notes.

@@theodenise2133hey im a bari, I haven’t been playing for very long but I’ve found that to get to the lower notes it’s a lot easier to get there if you loosen your mouth and get a more relaxed.

Fantastic vid! Q: When practicing your lower notes (e.g. low b flat) do you practice these notes legato e.g. without your tongue? Thanks for reading my q!
