Sleigh Ride BUT from a Bari Sax Perspective

[@kovici7226]

Got a bari sax a few days ago after trading in my alto. It is a nightmare but this makes me actually wanna get up and play to work on tone.

[@balleater6996]

i understand this pain lol i switched from alto to bari a few months ago, it seems like its not worth it but once you start to understand how to play it, its worth it, its mainly just the "mouthing" thats different.

[@kovici7226]

@@balleater6996 yesterday went into a trance-like state trying to practice my scales, just repeating and trying to get high D. Still squeaky, but getting there Definitely get what you mean with the “mouthing” bit. I miss the simplicity of alto 😭

I am in 9th grade with my tenor and am in the jazz band with mostly 11th and 12th grades but some 9th graders I bought an Otto link super tone master and man it made my jazz tone so good

[@toddm8609]

Hello :) Nice video. Just a sax technique suggestion- try to ensure that you are not loosening your embouchure so much. Try inhaling air from the top of your mouth and keeping the embouchure intact as much as possible. It will help get better definition, tone and response.

[@cookieman136]

Good tip 👍 (I wanted to disagree at first, because the Bari player has decent tone). I wonder if he’s just bored and moving around to stay interested .

[@toddm8609]

He is doing a great job, for sure but there is always room for improvement (for all of us). Check out how Arno Bornkamp plays Bari- it is masterful and clear as day.
