Hi,
I've been playing the bari now for a couple of years here in college and there's no specifically bari players in the faculty. I'm working on my upper register and altisimo range, but the sax just can't handle it. I can play the high F# easily, but the forked fingering for high G above that never ever comes out, no matter how much air i put into it. Also any tips on notes higher than that for bari???? does it have an altisimo range at all? Could the sax itself be a problem in producing these tones? My teachers refer to my sax as a better boat anchor than an instrument so I'm not entirely sure if that could be an issue too.

try tighting up your embouchure, that helps me. but your teacher may be right if you cant get the notes out at all.

Is the bari sax hard? Harder than the alto? I'm considering switching to bari.
