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)
A Bari Sax can weigh any where from 15 to 25 pounds. It depends on the model, year, and maker. I playu a bari that weighs 21 pounds.
The new flat signs don't look good, and the commas/semicolons are messed up. Badagnani 06:18, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
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)

How come Steve Kupka is not mentioned?
I don't understand how to read baritone notes!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.185.150.237 ( talk) 12:31, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
The infobox just added is wrong in terms of the lower range. It goes down to low A, not B-flat on most instruments. Please fix this. Badagnani 22:04, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
It may go down to low A on most modern instruments, but there are those of us who believe this to be an aesthetical abomination, and play the instrument that remains true to the original design. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.98.255.115 ( talk) 23:46, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
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. 86.112.209.90 22:46, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
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: //www.mmguide.musicmatch.com/album/album.cgi?ALBUMID=703872
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)
I have played bari sax for 4 years. I played tenor for 2. They sound alot more different and have different looks. Lisa plays a tenor, not a bari.
It is so unbelievably obvious that Lisa plays the baritone sax, primarily based on the fact that it sounds EXACTLY like a baritone sax. Sometimes an alto and tenor can sound similar, but the baritone sounds nothing like either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.31.171.127 ( talk) 20:02, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
I know that a lot of this information is true (I play the bari); however, I'm going to try to find sources for this information. Diligence 5960 ( talk) 03:08, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
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)

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)
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)
