Talk:Baritone saxophone

message: Sure, David Bowie may have played the bari sax, but I think most would agree that he isn't known for being a saxophonist. This is a case of hardcore Bowie fans always praising everything he did like he was a god. He can play the saxophone, yes, but certainly not a technical master or even a prolific player. 
I think he should be removed from this page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.140.247.111 (talk) 22:41, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

message: If Nick Brignola, Gary Smulyan, and Ronnie Cuber are notable enough to warrant mention in the "notable players" section, why is there a Wikipedia article for none of them?  Badagnani 17:31, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Jazz is rather neglected period - hadn't you noticed its heyday was decades ago?  Considering the length of the article, I think we should probably just stick to those historically famous, otherwise we're just going to have a giant player list here and it's going to overshadow the actual article text. ¦ Reisio 12:05, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes I had noticed that :P.  Given the influence jazz has had on soul, funk, rock&roll, rock, pop etc I consider it equally relevant to, say, classical music, whose heyday was more than just decades ago.  For this reason I would like to see more and more informative jazz articles on Wikipedia. It doesn't matter to me whether you delete the baritone saxophonists I added or not. But if you do, don't you agree that Joe Temperley gets a lot of attention in this article? (He IS a solid player, don't get me wrong. Anyway I already explained my reasoning in the last post: Down Beat Polls and google-count.)84.75.129.157 15:05, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

message: lisa simpson blatantly does not play the bari sax for two main reasons.  one the saophone featured in the simpson's does not bear resemplance to a bari, it has no neck loop. and two: she is eight years old, how many eight year olds have either the lung capacity or are physically large enough to play a bari?  I would approximate a Bari sax is taller than most 8 year olds.

text: It doesn't matter, but for the record, it looks like a curved soprano or a alto. What it sounds like however, is a tenor or alto, that site doesnt know sax for crap, and 'probably' isent good enough.Turnni1
Sorry folks, I played baritone saxophone for many years and the sound is definitely a bari -- some notes ranges below that which can be hit by the tenor sax. Lisa's bari is played by musician Terry Harrington. Terry is promoted as being "Lisa Simpson's baritone sax":  http://www.media.wayne.edu/release.php?id=384
http://www.ufo-bass.com/woodwind.htm. 
You can see the bari sax (and no tenor sax) credits on all the songs where Lisa plays the saxophone: http://www.snpp.com/guides/discog.htmlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songs_in_the_Key_of_Springfieldhttp:

The artwork is not technically correct for any sax.  It appears to looks to me to be a bari/tenor hybrid, with up and then downsharp curvature more like the bari (the tenor is a much more gradual bend). But most pictures lack the bari's full loop (but some actually have the downward dip from the mouthpiece). Lisa is too small to play either tenor and bari, and they are definately scaled to make it seem she can reach the keys -- but you have to give the artists a creative pass (it is a cartoon!)http://www.jazzeddie.f2s.com/sax&Lisa_simpson.htmhttp://www.shmuelyosef.com/Saxophones/Lisa_history.jpg  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.158.134.205 (talk) 00:23, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

text: Let's please end this school-kid nonsense - it is a baritone sax, it's played by Terry Harrington, this is probably easily verifiable, and it's basically just trivia. - Special-T (talk) 03:42, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Citations 

message: I just excised lots of trivia, uncited and random statements, general illiteracies, and what seemed like editors putting every bari player they've heard of in this article.  It needs a lot of work - hopefully we can build up this article with good, cited, appropriately weighted information. - Special-T (talk) 23:34, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I just removed this statement: "Adolphe Sax also produced a baritone saxophone in F intended for orchestral use, but these fell into disuse as the saxophone never became a standard orchestral instrument."  It is uncited, and contradicted by a cited statement earlier in the article: https://bandestration.com/2014/12/07/saxophones-in-f-and-c/ Special-T (talk) 17:37, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  F baritones 

message: I just reverted an edit that claimed high F# keys are extremely uncommon on baritone saxes. I looked at pictures of the intermediate level baris on the Woodwind & Brasswind website and most of them have high F# keys. Without exhaustive statistics, I think we're pretty safe in saying it's not uncommon. - Special-T (talk) 00:53, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
