Rico Jazz Select unfiled 3H on bari.

Another vote for Metalite. Can't beat them for the price.

Metalite definitely. There isn't much you can't do with it. I've even done classical quartet music with one! Every bari player should have one. I find the granftonite piece a step up from a...

RICO ROYAL GRAFTONITE B7

First Impressions: Very nice piece. Has a small baffle and is stuffy (for me) depending on the reed

Reed friendliness: Hemke 3 is stuffy, Rico Organge box 2 is great...

Any tenor lig works on them. I use a Rovner tenor lig with zero problems.

I've taught myself Angel Eyes. AWESOME song man. :)

Can you still get those low Bb horns? I'd love to acquire one somday :) I'm sure you could sell a few on your rent-to-own contracts.

I had to add to this great thread. I have a B3 and B5 Graftonite and M7 and M9 Metalites for my bari. The fat solid sound and powerful projection of the Metalites are just awesome. It blows my...

You can't really go wrong with a Yamaha or a Yani. If you want to try a different company saxophone.com is an amazing company do deal with and their bari is top notch IMO. The research I've done...

Yeah, they only make the Graftonite in an A chamber for alto and tenor. Bari got left with B "all-round" mouthpieces. I guess I could find a nice reed with my Graftonite. I added a Rovner dark lig...

Man, all those sound amazing. So hard to pick one but the Rousseau is quite appealing since I can get one for $102 to the door. :) Just wish I could find more clips.

Well we have two tubas, so the bottom end is lacking to say the least. The band director likes my contribution :)

What do you guys think of a Rousseau 7R? I'm somewhat leery of closed tip mouthpieces. I played on a Yamaha 5C back in high school and it was stuffy and quiet. I have a Rico Royal Graftonite B3...

Well I've been looking around for a new mouthpiece. My metal Yani is way too bright for the 100 plus piece concert band I'm in. I've been using a Metalite M9 with a Fibracell Premier 3.5. It's a...

Fibracells I've tried have been buzzy when new. I agree on harder cane. I prefer Alexander, especially the NY reeds. They're really stiff when new but once they 'break-in' they're awesome. SOLID...

Another Metalite M9 vote. I use one in a 100+ piece concert band and a 75 piece community band. They all thank me for my wonderful contribution to the bottom end of the ensemble. :) I use...

I found Yanigisawa metal piece are very good. LOUD and edgy but you can mellow them out a little bit. I've gotten many compliments on my sound. I scored on mine and got it for $49. Plus a...

Why not try a Fibracell Premier? I love them, even over my Alexander NY reeds. Slap it on and play, fully adjust able and sound and feel like cane, I find myself trying to suck on them before I...

I have two Grafonite mouthpieces and I think the B5 sounds better than the B7. With a Fibracell reed its an amazing sound out of a $14 mp.

I mainly use Fibracell but Alexander NY reeds are AWESOME. Big fat bari sound on just about any mouthpiece I've put them on.
