Baritone saxophone is a term used to describe any horrible looking torture and/or murder weapon from 1392 to 1645. While many consider the baritone saxophone to be merely a giant version of the saxophone, the history of the baritone saxophone is actually much greater and extensive.

Greetings,

I have had a few issues of late that has not allowed me to keep up with posting relevant information for the Bari sax.

Foremost was that I recently lost a very good friend and fellow musician I have had the privilege to know the last 12 years to colon cancer. He was the director of the community wind ensemble I played in as well as a few pick-up jazz combos through the years.  He was the band director at the local high school for many years until his retirement but kept active in education in the community. He will be dearly missed.

I hope to get back in my stride in the next few weeks and bring forth useful and fun information!

Again, I don’t know that many bari-sax players, but I can tell that they are more on the ‘Tom-Boy’ side. Wear matching gold sneakers to go with your instrument! Cute skinnies and give you that cool factor, but with something feminine like a flamingo sparkle ring, it can work well.
