@@AOSMAKAKMS 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.
I have always loved to hear the baritone in every band I played in (when the band was big enough). It seemed to make playing my part easier and more enjoyable.
The middle register in any instrument can be warm and very pleasing but, personally, I have always felt that most instruments (and this is particularly true for wood winds) sound best in the lower registers. There is a completely different character to a clarinet or a tenor or bari sax down low than up high and I think by going too high, you sacrifice much of the richness of the instrument. Ever since I first heard it in jr high band, I've always loved the sound of a bari sax down low.
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.
I really really want to play bari but I tried it and my arm isn’t long enough to completely reach the right hand spatula keys without straining. I was so disappointed...
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 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.
Joe was one of the very finest baritone saxophone players. I have the greatest respect for him. The best baritone players avoided the horrible low A extension. Today, it would be hard to get one without it. If I were getting one, I would go for a Conn 12 M with rolled tone holes. Joe, and Gerry Mulligan, played that model. Pepper Adams played a Selmer Super Action (the one before the Mark VI) for most of his career. Harry Carney went with him to the store to buy it, in the late 1940s. Joe also played the bass clarinet, and didn't bother with the low C extension, which you don't really need.
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.
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 - th-cam.com/video/c59J25pqoYI/w-d-xo.html
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)

The Bari is the tone, the depth of the sax section as well as of the whole band. Such a pleasure playing the Baritone within a band
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?

@@BariBone They should sound like one. Usually
Love they this guy couldn’t go four words without playin. Musician for sure lol. Great instrument
Baritone is the most fun to play in my opinion :D
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
His tone truly gives me goosebumps. Hands down best bari tone I’ve ever heard. He’s a true blessing to our ears.
I noticed that too. Just perfect.
Best bari tone I've ever heard
Edit: in my opinion
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
Good Lord, that tone is magnificent... (took a lot of restraint to avoid using profanity in my praise)
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?
That's a very impressive vibrato. I love how you make that monster sound.
I have always loved to hear the baritone in every band I played in (when the band was big enough). It seemed to make playing my part easier and more enjoyable.
He had one of the best sounds you can get out of a Bari Sax. Pure mastery
He makes it look so easy. 💜
RheaAC5 Sax is one of the easiest instruments out there.
No

Rip joe temperley
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
We do it all from playing in unison with the lead trumpet to doubling the bass line !
Classic arranging technique!

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

He let his instrument do the talking. What a comfy video, RIP
What a lovely sound ! 😍💕
Rest in peace joe
Joe had an amazing voice on the bari. Very lyrical and expressive without losing any depth and presence. I think of his sound often when I play bari.
what a treasure this video is! I miss Joe so much.
Love that Song at the Start! Intermission Riff! I actually play that Song with my Bari.
Sir Nexus what’s the name?

Oh Very Cool and Wondaful.
I Love Baritone Saxophone.
How do you make your bari sound like that. It sounds very buzzy
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 wonder what his setup is. It sounds amazing
Fantastic great Joe!!
I model my tone after, Joe he's genuinely that beautiful
There are people who play baritone and there are baritone players.... Unfortunately there are lots of the former....
Beautiful tone, which mouthpiece he's using ?
I really really want to play bari but I tried it and my arm isn’t long enough to completely reach the right hand spatula keys without straining. I was so disappointed...
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.

what brand of Baritone sax is that? best voice/tone i've heard in a while
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.

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.
What. A. Sound.
Please do bass trombone too!
so its the brass version of playing bass within a big band construct? real question.
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
Que boquilla usas profesor
Ily
What if the barista sax sounded warm instead of crunchy
Go listen to some Gerry Mulligan if you want warm bari
What Reed is he using

R.i.p
You divided by 100,000,000 is me
In my understanding, the baritone saxophone is really nice to play but the baritone saxophone is really, really, really, really expensive!
Why is your bell short
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.

someone just forgot to tell any of this to Leo P ......
I played bari and it’s main role is to attract hot women.
WHICH IT DOES WITHOUT FAIL
It’s for people who wanna play saxophone and pay an extra 1000 dollars for extra neck pain.
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
Barisax isnt even that loud
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.
