Scott Plays:
P. Mauriat 67RX Influence alto sax
Barkley Brazil Kustom Pop 7 Blue mouthpiece
Legere Signature 2.25 reeds
BG Silver Duo ligature
People are vile. With all of your gear, I’m still surprised they only took what they did. Glad you found a replacement and look forward to your sax school.
Dang, sorry to hear about the break in. Glad you're well tho
The unlaquered one was definitely the best sounding one on our side. It also sounds the clearest
A) 3:48
B) 4:41
C) 5:23
B was probably my favorite so that's neat. I think the blue/green corrosion looks cool on unlacquereds though. You can just leave it on there, The horns end up looking like something that was pulled out of a shipwreck lol.
A. C.
9:23 Much easier.
@@ArvidDarmondbut then he’d have to have watched the whole video to figure that out.
A = Marching Band instrument
B = Concert Band instrument
C = Jazz solo instrument.
They all sound great though! You made a great choice!
man i am so sorry that happened I wouldn't be able to process how traumatic that'd be for me .. respect for still pushing 🙂
Hey Scott sorry to hear about the robbery. But I'm glad nothing happened to you or your family. Glad you got back to getting newer Bari Sax. Liked the sound of the P.Mauriat best. Happy to know about sax school will be checking it out. Have a great time with the new Bari.
Thanks Doris!
Had the same experience-lost my bari and a friend´s bass clarinet One feels
so violated!
Yeah, it was pretty awful!
Scott, I wish I could play Bari like you. I'm 64 and started many years ago in junior high and loved it. Twenty years ago, I purchased a King Super 20 Bari probably built in the 40's or 50's. I'd already had a King super 20 alto and tenor and I wanted to complete the set. The Bari is a great horn but it doesn't have a low A. It has great punch and a large bell. I enjoyed the lines you were playing and wish I could achieve that.
Definitely hope your bari was insured! Thanks for the video showing off the different bari you were considering :) Definitely a good choice!
Sorry to hear about your loss :( I just bought a bari myself and you just reminded me to get insurance for that and my oboe
Please upload more videos of you playing Bari.
I am sorry about the break-in. Some people never learn that crime doesn’t pay and that they should respect other people’s property.
The P. Mauriat 500 baritone sax (as well as the alto and tenor versions)has some character in it both visually and sonically. I call this series the Tuxedo saxes because these horns look like they can be played in a symphony orchestra with either the silver or gold keys. Nice sound, though.
The PMB -300DK is punchy, powerful and full of pop. Very distinctive sound and look.
I had a Yamaha yrs 62 stolen out of my house. 1987 it happened and I still grieve that loss. I have a room full of great horns now. I went with the ybs-62 silver bari. Heavy horn.
That Bari sounds great!
I know that feeling after being robbed. The guys who installed my carpet entered my storage room and stole all of my power tools! I'm still realizing other things missing. Good luck Scott
Sorry about that.
Going with the black pearl myself. such a beautiful horn. I also enjoy soloing, so ill prioritize that.
Sorry to hear you had your bari stolen. I had a break in too long long time ago. My tenor was on the stand and they didn’t take it!! It is as a student model. Three months later and it as a Mark VI!!! Glad you found a replacement you love!! Everyone has their on preferences but love the one you chose as well. That horn is wails and the bari and Syos setup work great. Perfect match. Good luck with it and look forward to the sax school Cut like a knife, Scoot. Be well....
I can actually hear the tone differences you mentioned... The DK sounds like my next horn too.
Brutal about the break-in man! Funny you ended up at Fox Music-I bought my first-ever instrument (a Fender P-bass) there in like ‘93. Glad they’re still around!
While It's a shame they took your old bari, I imagine trying out those three beautiful horns wasn't too bad of an experience, was it? Congrats on your new Sax!
Can you make more bari sax videos?
Sorry to hear about the loss, that’s gotta stink. That’s awesome that you went to Foxes! I’ve bought most of my horns from there over the years!!
Yeah, I got my tenor from there also. They are good people and the store has such a cool old school vibe to it.
Sorry to hear Scott secure ur house now put security in place.all in all, I am with u in the lounging of ur school,good luck
I swear , I’m always so scared that someone is gonna steal my professional trombone especially when I got it , I totally feel your pain
Thst was my favorite by far!!! I noticed you were lifting your top teeth off the mouthpiece when you breathe. I don’t do that cause I’ve noticed I may not get the embochure the same every time I come down or it’s slower. Have you tried the teeth on approach or do you think the other way is better? Not harshing, just picking your brain about the technique
Wow! So sorry to hear it! Bastards! May the baritone all on their heads !
One of my biggest fears is getting my gear stolen. My alto and tenor are Yamaha 82Zs, but I scored a sick deal on a P. Mauriat le bravo bari, and I'm in love with it. I've heard a lot of people like it better than the more expensive P. Mauriats. Highly recommend.
I've heard great things about the Bravo. Craig from P. Mauriat even mentioned me trying one of those.
It has a really fat tone to it. I love it!
I got a cheap Chinese bari, black with gold keys beautiful dragon engraving, abalone key buttons, no name or number. Plays great, awesome for only $1,500.
You of course sounded great on all of them, but I thought you sounded best on the 500BX. There was a really nice clarity in the tone.
Yeah, it is a great sax. It has a very different tone quality, it was a struggle in making a decision between the 2.
A couple of years ago someone broke into my car and stole my 2 custom knee braces I need to play racquetball...leaving the duffle bag and racquets. After trying to hunt them down for weeks i relented and purchased 2 replacements to discover the manufacturer and design of the replacements kicked ass on the old pair....slimmer, lighter, better support and easier to use... so the thief ultimately did me a favor ...
Go for the sound.... Amazing compared to what... Marching band V jazz band.... OR..... Leo Pellegrino verses (not Ronnie the other guy)
Centred... Absolute control and gorgeous...
Your new Bari has a great fat tone and a big round tone happy 🐣 Easter
Glad you are bari happy with that Yamaha. Love my tenor
With that sax I would definitely invest in a heck of a good security system. Try a nice "Beware of Dog" sign on the door as well. A recording of a dog growling once in a while etc.
Now that was a really awesome demo, thanks for posting.
oh sorry bro that' was bad news to but I really love your videos
Sorry to find out what happened, but I guess you are lucky that is all they stole and nothing else. I am glad you were able to get a replacement for it. While I don't play Bari sax, I quite like the sound of the 300 DK when I heard someone playing one a few years ago as it had a far rich tone as you mentioned. Nice fat edgy sound your getting on it! I had the option of getting an unlacquered alto sax recently as I am looking to upgrade my Yamaha YAS-280 to a Yanagisawa AWO2 and the only one in stock at my local dealer was unlacquered but decided to hold off until the lacquered is in stock which should be next month sometime as I don't want one that will get tarnished and I noticed the unlacquered had more high frequencies and slightly less centred than the lacquered version.
I would John Wick the moron dumb enough to steal my Purple Label YBS-62. My wife bought that for me as a wedding gift!
I hope you get yours back in an acceptable condition!
sorry Scott for that. I'm glad you're back with new gears.
Ngl that fat fullness sounds gorgeous!!
Where did you get to play test these. I can’t find anywhere near me that has any baritone saxophones.
Glad your found a great horn!
*you
What is the solo he plays
I am happy that you found a Barry that you really like Scott .
But I am sorry about the break in .
Put in a security system ....
BariSaxRules!!!!!
C is the best saxophone
Check E-bay and Craig's List for your Yamaha from time to time. You might find it.
Sorry about all that happened could you please give me some ideas how to straighten my legere reed for my bari i only used it few times 😕
I just saw a short from you about proper left thumb position on the octave key. But it just occurred to me - what about left thumb position on a bari with a low A key. I finally got a bari last fall, so there is lots for me to figure out. I was giving myself drills today by blowing in the key of A and doing runs and A major and minor arpeggios trying to get more natural with low A.
On the bari, you still want to hover over the octave key, and then when you go to play a low A you have to move your thumb. If you know you've got a low A coming up, you can slide your thumb down before you get there to make it easier. I love playing low A's on the bari!!!
Thoughts on going with a Low-A bari rather than a regular Bb? Are the Low-As the standard in new baris these days? Do they even make Bbs anymore? I’ve heard that the longer bell on a low-A changes the sound throughout the horn.
Super! Danke!
Hello Scott, great video. What kind of strap do you use when you play baritone ? (May be today in Oct 2022 you use another?). Thank you in advance.
I use a harness that I built myself. I use it in about 95% of my videos. Every now and then I will use a regular neck strap in a video purely for appearance, but I almost always use my harness.
@@ScottPaddock thanks a lot for your answer. 🎷
Sounds great.
Why did they only grab the bari, instead of all of em?
Any idea when your Signature mouthpiece will be on the Syos site? Interested in seeing where it ranks on their brightness/power scale.
I'm doing the promo photo shoot and video for it next week. It has a medium chamber and smaller baffle. It isn't set up as bright as my tenor, but it has a HUGE sound and is effortless to play.
Hi Scott. Do you still have and use the Roland Aerophone? I bought one and was just curious as to where you're at with it. It can play sounds on the computer but I haven't tried that yet. SWAM software is expensive.
This is sad and frustrating that they stole your horn. 😳😕 I am sorry to this!
I have a question about the Bari I purchased a couple of months ago or so. This is my first Bari and I have traveled pretty extensively for many years playing the rest of the sax family but I am struggling with this new one. Do you have any tips. Anything below a G is sketchy at best if I am able to get it to play. The Low A sounds more consistent and better than Bb to F#. I struggle with playing this horn. I record a lot and solo and that is what I was hoping to do with this horn. Maybe it’s just because I am not used to it??? I am playing on a 2 1/2 reed (I’m experimenting with different brands right now.) This has been a challenging couple of months or so. I haven’t been able to practice everyday, so I am working at that. (I do get In three to four days a week) Any thoughts? Where do I begin?
STOLE YOUR SAX FROM INSIDE YOUR HOUSE?! OH MY GOD!!!!!
There is a small chance your Bari will be recovered. If the perp tries to pawn the horn for cash, the Pawn Shop is required to wait 2 weeks while the serial number is compared to Police reports. I wonder if your Homeowner Insurance will help pay for the replacement?
"when you hear bari sax you don't think on the bright sight"
Me a bari sax player
Nice sound Scott, and glad that you got another great Bari. Just wondering if you can describe the characteristics of you signature Mpc I mean, chamber, bafle opening tip and everything else that you ask to get it right for you.
Hey! Check out this link, it should answer most of your questions. I also have a discount code: SCOTTXSYOS if you are interested in picking one up. www.syos.co/en/shop/products/signature-saxophone-mouthpiece/scott-paddock-baritone
Are the alto fingerings the same of baritone? I want a Bari now!!!
Yeah, except the altissimo notes. All of the fingerings on all of the saxes are the same.
I hope you have a video camera installed now. Unfortunately, the thieves know you have more instruments, and I would be concerned they will come back for more; but that is good information to not publish on CZcams! I would like to have a bari sax, but presently do not have money or space or time to play it. I mostly play my tenor sax which is very nice, or other non-sax instruments. When I saw your video was available, I was looking at a P Mauriat PMB-302 bari sax, and this one apparently does not have the low A key that is present on those you were playing as well as Yamaha YBS-480 student sax. I hope to never have to play a bright green mouthpiece!
I had a video camera installed then. They caught the guy and he is currently in jail 😁😁😁
Scott, I think the bari sax is my favorite size. Now how much would something like this set me back if I was to get into it?
How do you go running down the street with a barri sax?
WITHOUT A CASE!!!! They never found it 😕 But he went to jail, because I had video of him in my house stealing it.
What is the neck strap you were using in the video?
It's one I built myself out of a harness and a strap.
@@ScottPaddock OK -- that'll work!.
sounds filthy i love it
Saddened for your loss. I also like the Baritone Sax that you picked. It has a clear full tone. Does it have a low A key?
Yep it does
You chose wisely grasshopper.
Sorry to hear the bad news. I'm sure you've thought of this, but watch out for those people returning when they think you will have replaced the lost gear. This happens a lot.
Great sound from the new baritone, and to be honest I didn't think the unlacquered instrument sounded bad, either. Does the finish have any effect at all one the tone, or is it just for appearance and surface protection?
He got arrested last week... so hopefully he won't be back. Plus, I got an alarm system and window bars. YES! The lacquer actually has a pretty big effect on the sound of the horn. Usually you can hear some lacquer sounds more dark or bright.
@@ScottPaddock Good to hear. Incidentally, I wouldn't mind betting that he stole the bari because it was the biggest. If you didn't know much about instruments, you would probably assume that the big one was worth more.
It was an inside job
pmauriat arranged the hit. They hired the guy to steal your yamaha so that they could replace it. Lol
Im obviously joking. I love my Dark Lacquer System 76 Tenor. Im about to get a Le Bravo Bari!! Im so excited!!!!
You might be onto something! 🤣
@@ScottPaddock lol
Update, im trying to get my hands on a 300DK
A musicians nightmare. At least they didnt take more. They were like, lets take the big one, that must be worth more
Your video is so quality. Which camera didi you use?
Dang man that really sucks, I play a Yamaha purple label tenor and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. It just fits me so well and it can handle how honestly abusive I am to my horns. I hope this horn holds up over time for you. I've heard the Taiwanese horns have longevity issues
Y. T. S. 62. Damn spell check.
what Mic and recording system do you use? It sounds great!
Sorry yo hear about your instruments. Hope you can recover them sometime.
Hey Scott, sorry to hear about the loss of your Bari. Would you mind sharing with us what neck strap you're wearing in this video. Is it suitable for a tenor?
I made the neckstrap. You can't buy it anywhere. I need to do a video on how to make it. It is by far the most comfortable and functional harness strap I've ever used.
@@ScottPaddock Please do, I've searched everywhere for something that is comfortable without being cumbersome. Looking forward to hearing more about your sax school.
Sounds fantastic! Maybe it was the P. Muriat-Agent who stole your Yamaha.... ;-)
They didn't seem to sad that it was stolen! 😂😅🤣
What's a good Baritone saxophone I should buy?
Any of the 3 in this video are great, my preference is the P. Mauriat 300DK
@@ScottPaddock what's the price on that please
Video starts at 3:50.
Damn, that sucks! Good thing they left everything else, like the Rhodes. Of course, they weigh about 120 lbs, not to mention the speaker.....
About the sax school, how can you know what the direct path should be for each person? Anyway I will check it out!
I'd love to see them trying to carry the Rhodes down the street 😂😅🤣. I've been teaching sax lessons for decades... I've got a pretty good grip on what students are looking for to improve. And my style of teaching is all about helping you build a foundation and then finding your own personal style.
Scott Paddock I like your videos and teaching style the best on CZcams. I’ve definitely learned a lot so far and I’ll join the sax school. I couldn’t see how to join. I guess it will be open in October?

A colleague had his P Mauriat alto stolen while unloading his car. Found it on ebay, told police who investigated and got it back. A lot of stolen saxes end up in Eastern Europe.
Sax Uk lost 32 Sopranos £140,000, Dawkes music 40 saxes £80,000. Soft sentences to blame for the crime wave!
So sorry about the break-in. At least you have a great new horn now! I’d buy the 300DK in a second, if only it wasn’t so expensive!
Same thing happened to me 😔
They can take your tools but they can never take your craftsmanship
Love that P. Mauriat Unlacquered Bari, that would have been the one for me. Sucks some bum broke into your place and stole your Bari, I truly believe in KARMA. Glad you got a new beautiful playing horn.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Yamaha g key too soft and bend! I still believe the Bflat Baris produce a better tone!
I don't understand it, Scott!! People are so cruel and lazy. They don't want to work to get their own. I want a bari sax myself, but I wouldn't steal one. I hope you're able to find it and the idiot that stole it!!
C
Thieves are obviously scum regardless, but stealing an instrument is purely immoral.
It's bad enough that they broke into your home and stole something, but to have lost an item that had been in your family for quite some time makes it tremendously worse.
agreed!! Between the bair and my computer, it was a big set back.
Check the local pawn shops . Your horn might be there .
After watching this video, your thief will be returning to get your new bari sax. That was his plan all along. He never wanted your old bari sax to begin with.
😂😅🤣😂 Lowell wins the comment section for this video!!!!
@@ScottPaddock My comment was half joke, but also half warning. Professional thieves know that you will be replacing what was lost, with brand new equipment, making you a nice repeat target. Although your thief does not sound like a pro, please take the necessary precautions.
Yrs 62.
I have a Jean Paul $400 alto, could care less if someone clipped it🤷♀️. Seriously, hope you upgraded you security.
They know what's in there now, their uncle probably plays.

No
Sounds great. Dick
