Baritonsaxophon

It is the lowest-pitched saxophone in common use - the bass, contrabass and subcontrabass saxophones are relatively uncommon. Like all saxophones, it is a single-reed instrument. It is commonly used in concert bands, chamber music, military bands, big bands, and jazz combos.

The History of the Baritone Saxophone In 1846, Adolphe Sax created the baritone saxophone. This Belgian instrument maker created the instrument as one of a 14-instrument family. Sax had a belief that the instruments within this family would provide a tonal link between brasses and woodwinds that would be useful.

The baritone saxophone is in the key of E flat, meaning that it sounds exactly one octave lower than the alto, and a perfect fifth lower than the tenor. Many modern baritone saxophones go down to a low A, extending the range by one note in comparison to all the other members of the saxophone family.

Bari is significantly heavier, plays lower notes, and requires a different embouchure and reed. It is in the key of Eb, and is often in the bassline. The bari has a loop neck in the shape of a “Q.” Tenor is smaller, and has a straighter neck.

baritone, valved brass instrument pitched in B♭ or C; it is a popular band instrument dating from the 19th century and was derived from the cornet and flügelhorn (valved bugle). It resembles the euphonium but has a narrower bore and three, rather than four or five, valves.

This voice type has an interesting history. The term baritonans first emerged in the late 15th century, but at this time it referred to all low voices, including bass. It wasn't until the 19th century that baritone came to be seen as a separate voice category from its deeper cousin.

It's little harder than alto since it requires more air and your hands must cover larger key spans but it's not a huge difference. If anything, I would say soprano is harder. All other things being equal, the smaller the sax the harder it is to keep in tune.

Baritone tessitura: Although this voice range overlaps both the tenor and bass ranges, the tessitura of the baritone is lower than that of the tenor and higher than that of the bass.

Bottom line, none is better than the other; a tenor is just different from a baritone, with each having his own strengths and weaknesses. Besides, when it comes to popular music, you can learn to sing an...

The baritone saxophone is the lowest-pitched saxophone of the four common saxophones. Its range extends from low D♭2 to high A♭4 on the piano, although some advanced players can extend the range further. Sound and Tone: The baritone saxophone has a deep, powerful, and rich tone.

As others have said, the baritone is no harder to play than the other saxes, except of course that it requires more air, and thus demands a little better breath control. (Which should translate into even more control when you pick up the tenor, incidentally.)
