The 62 line has been my go-to standard for decades. Played a 62 bari back in the 90's in a quartet, and if I had the money, there would be no question for it as my first choice. I'd love to get my hands on the new version of it, though I can't imagine how they could have improved it.
I find the 62 is slightly more consistent and has more body as you move up from the low end. In the low register the two are almost indistinguishable to my ears.
I started when I was twelve, however I was about 5’3. It also depends on how much you weigh - all joking aside, if you weigh too little the Bari could end up controlling you, instead of the other way around.
Your height will probably be cutting it a bit close, but I would be more concerned with whether or not you have the air support necessary to play bari.
Glad that you are back. Better safe than sorry. I think the 62 sounded better than the 48. Intermediate instruments are viewed as higher priced beginner instruments.They serve as backup for musicians who have their primary instruments being worked on. Stay safe.
What would the best neck strap be for a bari and an alto to switch in between because I switch a lot in marching band and the one I have is very uncomfortable
I know everyone think that these little floor peeks are new like everyone thinks the ybs62ii is new . Here in japan the ybs62ii is out for years and has a little bit bigger floor peek , so if you google or watch on youtube an search ybs62ii then you find the proof so it’s normal for us bari players in japan
I’ve always found the Yamaha 62 a bit clunky. Never been my forte, but hey, maybe the 62ii will be better, and either way there’s still a ton of people out there who live by the Yamaha Baris. Just goes to show it really comes down to the person.
Hi Luiz, Yes, that was a Jody DV 7*. I tried a DV NY prior to shooting, and although the sound was good, it didn't quite have enough bite and buzz so I stuck with the DV. And it was a Jazz Select 3S.
Seriously? No high F# key for the 480? Hello, Yamaha, it's no longer the 1970s! Even cheap Chinese baritones have the high F# key! Completely unacceptable.
Yep, it's the same company that keeps making professional clarinets without the LH Ab/Eb lever... Except for the optional models and the very top of the line SE Artist model. WHY?!..

I am trying to get a YBS-62 soon. Thanks for this. You are the calmest mellowest reviewers - rare in you tube where everyone is shouty.
We have 62's at my public school, but they are older.
My favorite sax of all The Bari . Although I plag The bass sax But I played the Bari for several years, still my favorite
Now you're talking! Saving my pennies for a 62.
Really helpful and informative. Thanks for this video!
bro not gonna lie I think your bari sound is the best
A comparison and play test of all 5 Yamaha bari models (new and old) would be very interesting.
Happy with my 52 but man an 82 would be sweet

Will you cover the new Keilwerth Shadow Baritone?
Can anyone tell me what would be the best choice between a Yanagisawa BW01 and the new Yamaha B62 (the brand new version) ? And why ?
Seems odd that Yamaha would skip the engraving on intermediate baris when Selmer puts them on the student model ones.
I’m 12 and 4’9”. Am I big enough to play the baritone? It is my dream and I want to master it as I love people like Leo p who can play so well.

Start at tenor, wait until you are 14 or so to switch to bari
Your height will probably be cutting it a bit close, but I would be more concerned with whether or not you have the air support necessary to play bari.
if you like bari check out leo parker

62 is definitly better for me 😀 62 have more clear, dark and soft 😁
Which bari can you pull a Leo P on?
Wow

Hi Jim what's the mouthpiece and reed you're playing? Thanks Luiz
From what I can see the mouthpiece is a jody jazz and I think he plays select jazz reeds from what he's mentioned in the past

@@jimcheek304 Sounded very good!!! Thank you!
Jim apologizing for not making commercials and me watching a video about bari's and I have not interest in playing bari.
the 480 definitely has harsher overtones- like an alto is living inside it
Hi
in my experience the 480 dents really easily, not recommended for like marching band stuff
흐아~~~ 사랑해요

How often is a high f# used on a baritone? Moreover there are ways to play high f# without the key.

I'm sure it's me but I can find nothing pleasant in the sound of a bari. It is just a farting sound to me. Sorry, not trolling, just sayin'.
You sound like a trumpet player
Then don't listen. :)
