PICKING OUT MY NEW BARI SAX

[@redmaxrules]

People are vile. With all of your gear, I’m still surprised they only took what they did. Glad you found a replacement and look forward to your sax school.

[@nathaniel.hovsepian]

Dang, sorry to hear about the break in. Glad you're well tho

[@Somethingisntright64]

A = Marching Band instrument B = Concert Band instrument C = Jazz solo instrument. They all sound great though! You made a great choice!

[@mambojazz1]

The unlaquered one was definitely the best sounding one on our side. It also sounds the clearest

[@gangofgreenhorns2672]

A) 3:48 B) 4:41 C) 5:23 B was probably my favorite so that's neat. I think the blue/green corrosion looks cool on unlacquereds though. You can just leave it on there, The horns end up looking like something that was pulled out of a shipwreck lol.

[@damianodami7582]

[@ArvidDarmond]

9:23 Much easier.

[@MrGuto]

@@ArvidDarmondbut then he’d have to have watched the whole video to figure that out.

I like sound of the 3rd one, C. Jazzy!!!

Amazing story. Like in Terminator II where the good Terminator picks up the mini-gun. John Connor says, "It's totally you". :D

[@bobblues1158]

Had the same experience-lost my bari and a friend´s bass clarinet One feels so violated!

[@ScottPaddock]

Yeah, it was pretty awful!

[@antanis]

Going with the black pearl myself. such a beautiful horn. I also enjoy soloing, so ill prioritize that.

[@keelanp53]

Scott, I wish I could play Bari like you. I'm 64 and started many years ago in junior high and loved it. Twenty years ago, I purchased a King Super 20 Bari probably built in the 40's or 50's. I'd already had a King super 20 alto and tenor and I wanted to complete the set. The Bari is a great horn but it doesn't have a low A. It has great punch and a large bell. I enjoyed the lines you were playing and wish I could achieve that.

[@billstotts2346]

I had a Yamaha yrs 62 stolen out of my house. 1987 it happened and I still grieve that loss. I have a room full of great horns now. I went with the ybs-62 silver bari. Heavy horn.

[@dorisfigueroa4027]

Hey Scott sorry to hear about the robbery. But I'm glad nothing happened to you or your family. Glad you got back to getting newer Bari Sax. Liked the sound of the P.Mauriat best. Happy to know about sax school will be checking it out. Have a great time with the new Bari.

[@ScottPaddock]

Thanks Doris!

[@dougmarket7629]

Glad you are bari happy with that Yamaha. Love my tenor

[@adamschorr2301]

Sorry to hear about your loss :( I just bought a bari myself and you just reminded me to get insurance for that and my oboe

[@clueless3398]

I can actually hear the tone differences you mentioned... The DK sounds like my next horn too.

[@flrn84791]

Definitely hope your bari was insured! Thanks for the video showing off the different bari you were considering :) Definitely a good choice!

[@robertp2934]

Sorry to hear you had your bari stolen. I had a break in too long long time ago. My tenor was on the stand and they didn’t take it!! It is as a student model. Three months later and it as a Mark VI!!! Glad you found a replacement you love!! Everyone has their on preferences but love the one you chose as well. That horn is wails and the bari and Syos setup work great. Perfect match. Good luck with it and look forward to the sax school Cut like a knife, Scoot. Be well....

[@cmcnabblss]

Sorry to hear about the loss, that’s gotta stink. That’s awesome that you went to Foxes! I’ve bought most of my horns from there over the years!!

[@ScottPaddock]

Yeah, I got my tenor from there also. They are good people and the store has such a cool old school vibe to it.

[@matta5348]

Brutal about the break-in man! Funny you ended up at Fox Music-I bought my first-ever instrument (a Fender P-bass) there in like ‘93. Glad they’re still around!

[@XavierJordanMusic]

Glad your found a great horn!

[@XavierJordanMusic]

*you

[@Danox94]

While It's a shame they took your old bari, I imagine trying out those three beautiful horns wasn't too bad of an experience, was it? Congrats on your new Sax!

[@ph2738]

I just saw a short from you about proper left thumb position on the octave key. But it just occurred to me - what about left thumb position on a bari with a low A key. I finally got a bari last fall, so there is lots for me to figure out. I was giving myself drills today by blowing in the key of A and doing runs and A major and minor arpeggios trying to get more natural with low A.

[@ScottPaddock]

On the bari, you still want to hover over the octave key, and then when you go to play a low A you have to move your thumb. If you know you've got a low A coming up, you can slide your thumb down before you get there to make it easier. I love playing low A's on the bari!!!

[@andys4971]

Thst was my favorite by far!!! I noticed you were lifting your top teeth off the mouthpiece when you breathe. I don’t do that cause I’ve noticed I may not get the embochure the same every time I come down or it’s slower. Have you tried the teeth on approach or do you think the other way is better? Not harshing, just picking your brain about the technique

[@D6Damager]

You of course sounded great on all of them, but I thought you sounded best on the 500BX. There was a really nice clarity in the tone.

[@ScottPaddock]

Yeah, it is a great sax. It has a very different tone quality, it was a struggle in making a decision between the 2.

[@uncapoeiraclub9311]

Wow! So sorry to hear it! Bastards! May the baritone all on their heads !

[@RiggedVedist]

A couple of years ago someone broke into my car and stole my 2 custom knee braces I need to play racquetball...leaving the duffle bag and racquets. After trying to hunt them down for weeks i relented and purchased 2 replacements to discover the manufacturer and design of the replacements kicked ass on the old pair....slimmer, lighter, better support and easier to use... so the thief ultimately did me a favor ...

[@GlenBoyle-w7v]

Your new Bari has a great fat tone and a big round tone happy 🐣 Easter

[@garyreid6165]

I am sorry about the break-in. Some people never learn that crime doesn’t pay and that they should respect other people’s property. The P. Mauriat 500 baritone sax (as well as the alto and tenor versions)has some character in it both visually and sonically. I call this series the Tuxedo saxes because these horns look like they can be played in a symphony orchestra with either the silver or gold keys. Nice sound, though. The PMB -300DK is punchy, powerful and full of pop. Very distinctive sound and look.

[@paddylandreville8501]

Now that was a really awesome demo, thanks for posting.

[@DynamixWarePro]

Sorry to find out what happened, but I guess you are lucky that is all they stole and nothing else. I am glad you were able to get a replacement for it. While I don't play Bari sax, I quite like the sound of the 300 DK when I heard someone playing one a few years ago as it had a far rich tone as you mentioned. Nice fat edgy sound your getting on it! I had the option of getting an unlacquered alto sax recently as I am looking to upgrade my Yamaha YAS-280 to a Yanagisawa AWO2 and the only one in stock at my local dealer was unlacquered but decided to hold off until the lacquered is in stock which should be next month sometime as I don't want one that will get tarnished and I noticed the unlacquered had more high frequencies and slightly less centred than the lacquered version.

[@brianpite0893]

That Bari sounds great! I know that feeling after being robbed. The guys who installed my carpet entered my storage room and stole all of my power tools! I'm still realizing other things missing. Good luck Scott

[@casemercer6729]

Sorry about that.

[@AnthonyM-wishes-he-was-cool]

One of my biggest fears is getting my gear stolen. My alto and tenor are Yamaha 82Zs, but I scored a sick deal on a P. Mauriat le bravo bari, and I'm in love with it. I've heard a lot of people like it better than the more expensive P. Mauriats. Highly recommend.

[@ScottPaddock]

I've heard great things about the Bravo. Craig from P. Mauriat even mentioned me trying one of those.

[@AnthonyM-wishes-he-was-cool]

It has a really fat tone to it. I love it!

[@cchino_Sax]

what Mic and recording system do you use? It sounds great!

[@patrickkelcey2435]

[@saxman7131]

[@johnbull6909]

I got a cheap Chinese bari, black with gold keys beautiful dragon engraving, abalone key buttons, no name or number. Plays great, awesome for only $1,500.

[@rodneyowen1850]

Check E-bay and Craig's List for your Yamaha from time to time. You might find it.

[@blueeyedsoulman]

With that sax I would definitely invest in a heck of a good security system. Try a nice "Beware of Dog" sign on the door as well. A recording of a dog growling once in a while etc.

[@glenfordtanwing5085]

Sorry to hear Scott secure ur house now put security in place.all in all, I am with u in the lounging of ur school,good luck

[@francois9144]

Hello Scott, great video. What kind of strap do you use when you play baritone ? (May be today in Oct 2022 you use another?). Thank you in advance.

[@ScottPaddock]

I use a harness that I built myself. I use it in about 95% of my videos. Every now and then I will use a regular neck strap in a video purely for appearance, but I almost always use my harness.

[@francois9144]

Any idea when your Signature mouthpiece will be on the Syos site? Interested in seeing where it ranks on their brightness/power scale.

[@ScottPaddock]

I'm doing the promo photo shoot and video for it next week. It has a medium chamber and smaller baffle. It isn't set up as bright as my tenor, but it has a HUGE sound and is effortless to play.

Nice sound Scott, and glad that you got another great Bari. Just wondering if you can describe the characteristics of you signature Mpc I mean, chamber, bafle opening tip and everything else that you ask to get it right for you.

[@miguelvega4844]

Saddened for your loss. I also like the Baritone Sax that you picked. It has a clear full tone. Does it have a low A key?

[@trumpetplayerdude9838]

Yep it does

[@matta5348]

Thoughts on going with a Low-A bari rather than a regular Bb? Are the Low-As the standard in new baris these days? Do they even make Bbs anymore? I’ve heard that the longer bell on a low-A changes the sound throughout the horn.

[@timcason3479]

This is sad and frustrating that they stole your horn. 😳😕 I am sorry to this! I have a question about the Bari I purchased a couple of months ago or so. This is my first Bari and I have traveled pretty extensively for many years playing the rest of the sax family but I am struggling with this new one. Do you have any tips. Anything below a G is sketchy at best if I am able to get it to play. The Low A sounds more consistent and better than Bb to F#. I struggle with playing this horn. I record a lot and solo and that is what I was hoping to do with this horn. Maybe it’s just because I am not used to it??? I am playing on a 2 1/2 reed (I’m experimenting with different brands right now.) This has been a challenging couple of months or so. I haven’t been able to practice everyday, so I am working at that. (I do get In three to four days a week) Any thoughts? Where do I begin?

[@IvanRx76]

Are the alto fingerings the same of baritone? I want a Bari now!!!

[@ScottPaddock]

Yeah, except the altissimo notes. All of the fingerings on all of the saxes are the same.

[@kennarducci7126]

I am happy that you found a Barry that you really like Scott . But I am sorry about the break in . Put in a security system ....

[@blueeyedsoulman]

Hi Scott. Do you still have and use the Roland Aerophone? I bought one and was just curious as to where you're at with it. It can play sounds on the computer but I haven't tried that yet. SWAM software is expensive.

[@waynenolan9222]

Hey Scott, sorry to hear about the loss of your Bari. Would you mind sharing with us what neck strap you're wearing in this video. Is it suitable for a tenor?

[@ScottPaddock]

I made the neckstrap. You can't buy it anywhere. I need to do a video on how to make it. It is by far the most comfortable and functional harness strap I've ever used.

There is a small chance your Bari will be recovered. If the perp tries to pawn the horn for cash, the Pawn Shop is required to wait 2 weeks while the serial number is compared to Police reports. I wonder if your Homeowner Insurance will help pay for the replacement?

[@BenAtTheTube]

I hope you have a video camera installed now. Unfortunately, the thieves know you have more instruments, and I would be concerned they will come back for more; but that is good information to not publish on KZbin! I would like to have a bari sax, but presently do not have money or space or time to play it. I mostly play my tenor sax which is very nice, or other non-sax instruments. When I saw your video was available, I was looking at a P Mauriat PMB-302 bari sax, and this one apparently does not have the low A key that is present on those you were playing as well as Yamaha YBS-480 student sax. I hope to never have to play a bright green mouthpiece!

[@ScottPaddock]

I had a video camera installed then. They caught the guy and he is currently in jail 😁😁😁

[@craigiefconcert6493]

Damn, that sucks! Good thing they left everything else, like the Rhodes. Of course, they weigh about 120 lbs, not to mention the speaker..... About the sax school, how can you know what the direct path should be for each person? Anyway I will check it out!

[@ScottPaddock]

I'd love to see them trying to carry the Rhodes down the street 😂😅🤣. I've been teaching sax lessons for decades... I've got a pretty good grip on what students are looking for to improve. And my style of teaching is all about helping you build a foundation and then finding your own personal style.

[@innocentoctave]

Sorry to hear the bad news. I'm sure you've thought of this, but watch out for those people returning when they think you will have replaced the lost gear. This happens a lot. Great sound from the new baritone, and to be honest I didn't think the unlacquered instrument sounded bad, either. Does the finish have any effect at all one the tone, or is it just for appearance and surface protection?

[@ScottPaddock]

He got arrested last week... so hopefully he won't be back. Plus, I got an alarm system and window bars. YES! The lacquer actually has a pretty big effect on the sound of the horn. Usually you can hear some lacquer sounds more dark or bright.

[@innocentoctave]

@@ScottPaddock Good to hear. Incidentally, I wouldn't mind betting that he stole the bari because it was the biggest. If you didn't know much about instruments, you would probably assume that the big one was worth more.
