To All Baritone Sax Players, Presently, I play a Rovner hard rubber #6. It's ok, but in agreement with Jack who commented metal makes the bari rock, I'm in the...
See if you can locate a Lawton 6*B or 7*B. More pro bari players use lawton than about anything else. Mike Brignola of the Woody Herman band and Miami Sax...
... use lawton than about anything else. Mike Brignola of the Woody Herman band and Miami Sax Quartet uses a Lawton 6*B and sounds great. When I played bari...
I play a Berg 120/0 (stainless) and have found it to be very good. The low end is still easy to sound. It isn't a pretty sound however (has a little of the...
Dear group, A couple weeks ago, when I was in my local dealer's shop getting a stored-in-the-bell soprano sax stand for my Super Action 80, I noticed they had...

I read some of the replies to your email, and I have a "hotspur" curved soprano that I am using a Runyon custom mouthpiece with it. I have not had the same ...
I would recommend sticking to the Big Bell Global Series or Stone Series. My dealer does not stock excalibur intermediates because he does not think they are...

Dear Mary, Mouthpieces 101- The contour of the mouthpiece, down to the fraction of the millimeter, is a CRITICAL determinant of the sound of the sax. Aside ...
Thanks Chris, I will take her to a SAM Ash to let her try some metal ones, that had also been suggested to me by a very good friend. Mary Florida _____ From:...
