<\/a><\/p>\nBari Hybrid Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece<\/strong><\/p>\n This Bari Hybrid mouthpiece is a great example of a more affordable mouthpiece that is on the market that plays very well.\u00a0 These have a retail price at WWBW of 124.99 right now.\u00a0 Many times,\u00a0 I have younger student looking for cheaper alternatives for step up mouthpieces that still play well.\u00a0 Usually, the stock response for alto players is to get a Meyer or Vandoren V16.\u00a0 This Bari Hybrid is another new alternative on the market.<\/p>\n Bari Hybrid Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece<\/strong><\/p>\n The mouthpiece looks great from the top.\u00a0 The engraving and gold band look terrific.\u00a0 The rails, table, tip and baffle also looked good.\u00a0 The chamber of the mouthpiece is a bit crooked and askew as you can see in the picture below.\u00a0 If you are a stickler for perfection and symmetry this might bother you a bit.\u00a0 I also received a 7 tip opening that had this same chamber look to it so maybe it is just how they make them.<\/p>\n Bari Hybrid Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece<\/strong><\/p>\n This review is also a great example of how a mouthpiece doesn’t have to have a perfect looking chamber to sound great.\u00a0 I thought this Bari Hybrid played great.\u00a0\u00a0 It had a brighter alto sound and the high notes\u00a0 had some nice body to them.\u00a0 The low notes subtoned beautifully and the intonation was very good.\u00a0 The sound is full and focused with some bright edge in the tone. I think this would be a great step up mouthpiece for middle school or high school kids as well as adults looking for an affordable alto sax mouthpiece.<\/p>\n If I compare it to it’s competitors,\u00a0 I would say it is louder, brighter and more focused than a Meyer medium chamber or Vandoren V16 medium chamber.\u00a0 It would probably be more related to their small chambered mouthpieces.\u00a0 This mouthpiece would sound great in a jazz band setting.<\/p>\n Bari Hybrid Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWWBW\u201d\u00a0 is carrying the Bari Hybrid Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece.\u00a0 If you like this Bari Hybrid mouthpiece’s look and sound, visit the WWBW website<\/a>.\u00a0 All the Bari products are made in the USA in Sarasota, Florida.<\/p>\n Let me know what you think in the comments below.
