When we all thought at 10:17 he was gonna play and we were like FINALLY but then 5 seconds later he talks again and we are hopeless of him ever playing😂🙃
So, I play the flute. And piccolo. And I’m a colorguard girl. I’ve never touched a rEEE in my life. I joined jazz band. They needed an extra bari sax, and then I showed up. I now play bari sax. This will be fun
Quick tip. If you don’t wanna spend anymore money and have bass clarinet reeds. They work with bari sax mouthpieces. Also if you have a leather clarinet or bass clarinet ligatures. They also work with bari sax mouthpieces
I started watching this year ago when I just hit my fourth year on bari sax now I'm revisiting it and I can say he is correct you will learn something new
Very very thanks to the player of the Bariton Sax instrument. He has placed his preparation how to take step to play this instrument. I am from India. Very interesting text. God bless him.
@@tapulamau9802 I'm only sort of a flutist too, I'm mainly a violinist but play in the band as well. Have to be ready to play grade 3 and 4 music in 3 months please send help lol. OH and I don't get the instrument for another few weeks. It's a weird situation.
I have been playing 4 separate brass instruments; tuba, euphonium, Trumpet, and French horn, I recently wanted to try to play wood wind and my teacher recommended bari sax. (I also play piano)
Use the covered storage compartment for the accessories. Why is it just laying around the case? Don't soak reeds in water. It causes them to get waterlogged.
so i just received my bari sax in the mail and upon playing, i cant hardly get clear notes out of it. i have been playing the alto for 5 years and the bari for barely 1, but i had gotten fairly good at it in those months. i had been using a school bari rental but because of quarantine and me moving states i haven't been playing bari in a while, and it seems i have lost the ability. i can play the alto just fine, i just seemed to forget how to create the facial mold on the bari sax... help?
it depends, if tenor or alto sax was your primary instrument, your good, Remember alto sax is E flat, and tenor is B flat, but bari is ALSO E flat. and other than tenor baritone sax is MUCH harder to play perfectly. So this means Bari is different with scales, and note pitch ect, if you want more info on bari sax, go to my yt channel i can help you
Lol I asked and she said yeah, except 2 things The things really broken And it doesnt have a case so shes scared to send it off for repairs Also me too
@@J4ckpot23 for a bari it makes absolutely no sense to place it on the keys; the neck keeps the palm keys off the ground. He knows very little about the instrument lol
@@jamesbastanchury4126 Woah boss. No need for such language. We're here discussing instruments. You don't have to exhaust you book of insults on what you perceive to be misinformation. It's better to state your concerns in a nicer way. If you present your side with such vulgarity then noone will listen. So even if you're right, none will use your information to protect their instrument. And as that appears to be your main concern, steps should be taken to ensure it.
When talking about embouchure, absolutely DO NOT place your top teeth on the mouth peice. If you look at his mouth peice, you can see clear teeth marks where he has used this BAD HABIT and over time, dented the mouthpiece. Proper embouchure would be to mimic the position of your bottom lip with your top lip. This will ensure you do not damage your mouthpiece and will make sure ALL of your air goes into the instrument and you are not wasting air by allowing it to escape above the mouthpiece. It will be more tiring at first but do not fall victim to biter's mouth. Over time your embouchure will become stronger and you will not get tired as easily. Practice good technique and if you get tired, allow yourself time to rest and if can't, do lip stretches. (Take a deep breath and push the air out through closed lips. Its that thing that when you do it in slow motion it looks really funny because it looks like your lips are dancing)
I've met very few people who play the saxophone with a double embouchure as you describe. Is that a classical thing? I'm a jazz player and there is absolutely nothing wrong with placing your teeth on the mouthpiece. A patch will save your teeth and mouthpiece, and no air leaks away.
Lizzy Flores Just keep your jaw loose, the embouchure is much more different on the bari than on alto. You also need to blow a good amount of air; dont be "afraid" of the horn. Hope this helps :)
I play bass clarinet but might switch to bari sax for marching band, not sure if im gonna like it cuz ive never played a saxophone before but its worth a try
I’m 13 and was given one day to learn and play it aaaaah help. They really think ik how Bc I played alto for one year but since COVID I forgot everything Bc ITS BEEN A YEAR. Goodluck!
it will take a lot of air to play and if you cant get that air out use an alto because they have the same fingerings because both are E flat instruments but dont use a tenor sax because that is a B flat instrument
Baritone saxophone is only difficult if you are a beginner who started playing alto sax. Make sure you put a lot of air into it and make sure you can hit low and high notes before playing it.
@The Smiler Synthetic reefs are reeds that are synthetic instead of cane like you would usually use. The nice thing about synthetic reeds is that your reed will stay wet and it won’t deteriorate as quickly.
Actually, I am starting on a baritone sax on Wednesday, a friend is going to be guiding me through it. Never touched any sax before. :) I understand it is heavier and harder to work with, but I have a history with other large instruments so I know to handle it with care. (For example, I played upright bass as of last year.)
@@Kami_North Alright man, you do you! I respect your decision. Just my opinion. I never really handled a large instrument before. I've only played alto.
A mouthpiece is still on a saxophone. It's what has a ligature and a reed on it. Brass instruments aren't the only one to have a mouthpiece, you know. Look it up.
The problem was that my school couldn't even afford a bari, so we had to play alto. Yes it is so hard that i had to play an instrument that is virtually the mini bari.
If you want actual tips, here ya go. Soaking a Reed will not make you automatically better. Wet doesnt mean drench (in genral tip). Slow air, if this is your first time playing any saxophone, I recommend you hammer keeping it far enough in your mouth so that you can play low notes but dont sound like a boat horn. Also make sure that you apply a little amount of pressure, one I got this down I want from being able to play b 95% of the time, straight to c 95% of the time (6 notes!!) And also, if you need to play a new note that's lower, and you just cant play it, you should slur down to it (slurring being playing one note, and going to another without stopping) cant play a b? Do c and slur down to it. Lastly, dont give up. It took me 3 weeks to get which for a tenor that swapped to bari is good. These are beginner tips, but if you have any other questions I'll be happy to help.
Best part is beginning when he's stroking it with his thumb
he really loves is horn
Ayyyyy you gonna have to rephrase that

Virtually☆
Hall do not understand the difference between the saxs I play the bari but I used to play the tenor
I WANT to play it, I don’t eaxactly play it YET.
is it just me or did the title say how to PLAY the baritone saxophone?
Frankie P Happy Birthday!
Lol
Frankie P Read the description
How to do everything EXCEPT play the baritone saxophone......
True I already know how to play the alto but I’m learning the bari
I taught myself (a clarinet player) bari sax in our high school band! It was such a fun time!
Quick tip. If you don’t wanna spend anymore money and have bass clarinet reeds. They work with bari sax mouthpieces. Also if you have a leather clarinet or bass clarinet ligatures. They also work with bari sax mouthpieces
I used your video to help me figure out the best way to make an instrument mask for band students playing the baritone Sax. Thank you!
I started watching this year ago when I just hit my fourth year on bari sax now I'm revisiting it and I can say he is correct you will learn something new
Oh wow the Baritone Sax is such an amazing instrument! I honestly wan't to learn this instrument!!
i mean if you're starting on bari sax, i gotta give you some respect
Very very thanks to the player of the Bariton Sax instrument. He has placed his preparation how to take step to play this instrument. I am from India. Very interesting text. God bless him.
Love the shoes!
i just switched from alto to bari and i need to now how to nail the low notes
Loosen your embouchure when you get to those low notes might help a little bit.
I would think ( or I might be wrong ) anyone attempting to play a Bari Saxophone would have already tried playing a Alto or Tenor Saxophone
My band director is trying to switch me from Flute to Bari. In smaller bands, you would be surprised :D

I play bass clarinet, and my band director want me to play bari for jazz band
Why would that be? Needs more air, larger and heavier, but same fingerings.
did this guy ever play on his bari sax? i just skimmed through and i got more bored than an atheist in a synogouge

More air
My school uses smart music but IT NEVER WORKS AT MY HOUSE. SMART MUSIC WTF
Don't you need cork grease
Joseline Tlacomulco yes you do if you don't the cork will fall off it happened to me multiple times
Well don't use it every time so to not over saturate it
I grease my cork every 2 or 4 weeks
Only sometimes
Great video!

i play the bassoon and im doubling on the bari lol
2019 Lamborghini Aventador S bruhhhh I wanted to the same but I couldn’t afford getting of the reeds. :/
I play alto i wanted to see how it looks
He seems like he thanks his food before he eats it
My band teacher literally just told me to play baritone sax (im in 7th grade) and like i need A LOT of help.
Lol I asked and she said yeah, except 2 things
The things really broken
And it doesnt have a case so shes scared to send it off for repairs
Also me too
I have braces. Does this make the embrouchure more difficult as the lips don't fit over as well?
No, its only slightly more difficult with braces. For brass though, that'll fuck your shit up.
What accent is this? I like it
As you see the baritone sax has a lot of parts (bassoons and clarinet players🤣
Yeah honestly bassoons and bass clarinets/any clarinets have so many parts. And you have to be soo careful or you could break it.
Sis really said let me my sax down on its keys
Who puts an instrument down on its keys?! You NEVER EVER set an instrument down on its keys! He completely put the saxophone down wrong.
every saxophone is different, sometimes its better to put it keys down so it doesnt bend any keys

My band teacher is moving me up from alto to bari, got any tips?
Lizzy Flores i have a tip for you
Ben Coffee
What is it?
Make sure the TIP of the mouthpiece is slightly over the reed when putting the reed on the mouthpiece
Lizzy Flores Just keep your jaw loose, the embouchure is much more different on the bari than on alto. You also need to blow a good amount of air; dont be "afraid" of the horn. Hope this helps :)
I’ve been playing it for 5 years why am I watching it
I already know how to play it
What's a decent baritone for a reasonable price, to play jazz?
Yamaha YBS6(5?) about $7000
Chris Nowak try on face book some go for a 1
$1000
Chris Nowak
the cheapest you can get a decent baritone for, is about 3,000.
Why does he keep stroking the bell
and he did not make a single note on the saxophone ?
I don't even play saxophone,I play clarinet and bass clarinet,I just wanted to watch this video cause it seemed interesting
Derrick Weaver Jr I play Bari
Bari sax
And alto sax
I play bass clarinet but might switch to bari sax for marching band, not sure if im gonna like it cuz ive never played a saxophone before but its worth a try
@Dank Kazoo Um no your tone would not be as good as compared to your bass clarinet. Just get a neckstrap and march your bass clarinet.
I love how he casually caresses his sax
Also, his mouthpiece is lowkey kind of disgusting
Hannah H yeah, his biting pad looks disgusting
It’s because when you replace the pads, some of the last pad you used still sticks on. That’s the stuff you are talking about
5:02 "Pick it up with 2 hands"

yes
dat bell stroke
This video should be called, how to assemble a bari sax.
thats a big saxphone
Bass clef rocks
why a i here m an alto sax and also he didn't play at all and i didn't know it took 12:57 seconds to put an instrument together lol
Are you speaking in viola?
He has the water luxury.
I play Tenor. So I know what you have to do. Why am I here?
When I'm about either 18, 19, or 20 I want to start playing the baritone sax but now I have an alto sax!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍

I thought the neck was longer and what not
Is baritone sax difficult for beginners
Thisal j nope, use enough air and you're good
it will take a lot of air to play and if you cant get that air out use an alto because they have the same fingerings because both are E flat instruments but dont use a tenor sax because that is a B flat instrument
Baritone saxophone is only difficult if you are a beginner who started playing alto sax. Make sure you put a lot of air into it and make sure you can hit low and high notes before playing it.
So they really got the world reknowned saxophonist robert young to tell someone how to put together and play the saxophone. Ok.
It seems the same as my Alto Sax
So you telling me I cant dance while I play like Leo P? :(
My Alto Sax is the size of a Trumpet or a Flute
Wow for over 2 years I’ve had the wrong embouchure
Why am I watching this I’ve been playing bari for 5 years
I use synthetic reeds.
good
What are those? I use Vandoreen ones
@The Smiler Synthetic reefs are reeds that are synthetic instead of cane like you would usually use. The nice thing about synthetic reeds is that your reed will stay wet and it won’t deteriorate as quickly.
Do you have to wet synthetic reeds like you would with a cane reed?
Why was he stroking it at the beginnings 😂
Nervous I'm guessing
1:12
*Laughs in clarinet*
*Laughs at clarinet in euphonium*
why do I watch this, I already know how
Anyone starting baritone reading this wet all sides of the reed even the bottom and 80% of your problems involve your reed
I play Bass Clarinet but if I were to switch instruments it would be the Bari Sax.
Boiyyyy don't go to baritone without any saxophone experience start on Alto or soprano bari is horrible to start on if youre new to sax
@@drewsillytoo yo it’s been 3 years but why would anybody start on a soprano
