A fantastic baritone - affordable, stylish and with a full-bodied tone that you will love!

The BetterSax Classic Baritone follows the same mantra as the alto and tenor models, offering quality in all departments while being affordable at the same time.  Many student baritones can have a slightly lacklustre tone and inconsistency through the range, but the BetterSax Classic has none of that.  The Japanese-style bore design helps to bring about a tone that is rich, sophisticated and even through the range.  Intonation is stable and consistent from the low A to the top F#.  The keywork has been designed with great ergonomics in mind; the low A key is slender and easy to manipulate, the table key cluster is small and set close to the Left-hand main stack, the low Eb/C is similarly accessible in relation to the Right-hand stack.  The overall key action is light, and close to the body, allowing the player to freely manoeuvre around the instrument with ease.

For a high-end student instrument, the BetterSax Classic does very well in the looks department.  The lacquer has a deep lustre and depth that is immediately appealing.  Regarding build quality and componentry, again there is attention to detail.  Pisoni Leather pads with metal domed resonators offer a good seal between pad and tone-hole, corks and felts are premium-grade, blue steel springs ensure an even key action, and the overall mechanism is sturdy and fluid in operation.

Another great aspect to this baritone is the inclusion of the BetterSax Classic mouthpiece - a full-bodied and responsive beginner's mouthpiece that out-performs most 'stock' mouthpieces that come with many instruments.  These are made in the Babbit factory in the USA, famous for the production of the classic American Links and Meyers.  The pairing of this mouthpiece with this sax gives the player a free-blowing, rich and vintagy tone - a great way to start out if you're new to the baritone!

Besides the mouthpiece, the sax comes with an accessories package that includes a ligature, cap, neck strap, cork grease and polishing cloth.

Review

As I write this, I'm hot off the heels of doing a video review for the Classic baritone and have a strong overall enthusiasm for this entry into the market. Given its price point - not too cheap, but certainly not in the realm of the pro horns, I believe it offers a lot.  I believe a great many players look to take up the bari because they are curious about the experience of playing such an instrument, or they are looking to play it in some kind of band, perhaps in conjunction with alto or tenor.  For this, it's not always necessary to break the bank and go for those high-end instruments.  It's true that on a Yani or Yamaha you will notice an extra notch of power and projection and refinement in mechanism, but again the law of diminishing returns applies - you can spend half (or less) the money and get a baritone that has an extremely mature, and in my view, vintage-sounding tone.  The BetterSax Classic is also highly playable - the mechanism is solid and the keywork is comfortable with a great action.

Given the success of the alto and tenors, and the trust the sax community holds in Jay Metcalf and the BetterSax products, I can see this baritone being an extremely popular addition to the range.

This is a must have!
Size: Upgrade Queen (2 Pack)
One of my favorite purchases! I love that you can take stuffing out as needed. My husband kept majority of his in because he likes a full pillow. I prefer a flatter, soft pillow so I took out probably half of the stuffing. We both love them!

Excellent pillow.
Size: Upgrade Queen (2 Pack)
Wow these pillows are fantastic!!! First off they are good quality and sized as described. I'm forced to sleep on my back since I use a cpap every night. They suggest taking some filling out for "back sleepers". But in my case, I am disabled, overweight, and the way I position myself on a pillow is probably unique. I have a little of my shoulders, head and neck on the pillow. I didn't have to remove any filling. It was pretty good at first and after about a few day/nights, everything settled in just perfectly. It's truly one the finest pillows I've owned to date. (Part of my disability is a very painful neck & muscle malady, my head leans far to the right. Basically feels like a crick in your neck that never goes away. It's called tortacollis or dystonia depending who you talk to.) Because of this, I have truly spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on different types and styles of pillows. A very select few have worked out fairly well over time until I found this one. As I said in the beginning, this is an excellent pillow and a great value as well. Hopefully this will work as well or even better for others. I purchased a 2 pack this time, 1 for home and the other for our RV. Definitely buying. another 2 pack to keep for future replacements. Pillows simply don't last forever. They get funky in time. No matter how clean you try to stay with bedding and personal hygiene, it just happens eventually. Sweet dreams. :~)

Incredibly thick and firm pillows. Not great for stomach or side sleepers. They alway end up on the floor cause we find them uncomfortable. Don’t recommend, practically unusable

It works! Quality pillow.
Size: Standard (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
This does actually provide a cooling effect, and it's very comfortable! The accompanying literature is helpful too. I believe this to be a quality pillow for the price.

Most comfortable pillow I’ve ever slept on
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Crescent White(cooling)
This is the most comfortable pillow I have ever slept on. It doesn't mash down like other pillows. Cradles my neck perfectly plus it’s cool. I broke my neck a couple of years ago and this pillow feels very good and comfortable. Definitely recommend to everyone. Ive used it since May and it’s retained its shape.
