baritone sax

The baritone saxophone (sometimes abbreviated to "bari sax") is a member of the saxophone family of instruments, larger (and lower-pitched) than the tenor saxophone, but smaller (and higher-pitched) than the bass.

Baritone Saxophone It's pitched in E flat and sounds one octave lower than the alto, or a fifth lower than the tenor. One difference with regards to its playing range, in comparison to the alto and tenor, is that many modern baritone saxes go down to a low A, so one semitone lower than the standard B flat.
