Yamaha Allegro... that's the intermediate step-up horn our bd had last year, I think.. I tried it, but liked my Antigua a lot better.

My principal instrument is the alto sax, but I wouldn't say it's my favourite. I've tried alto, tenor, and bari, and the bari is the coolest by far. It just has so much power, and once you get used to the larger amount of air you have to put through it, it is so much fun to play. My school has this bari which is just awesome! Yamaha baris have such a powerful lower range, and the low A's come out with so much ease! This is the bari which is the most contested over at my school.

Yep, that's the one. Definitely the best sounding bari I've played yet! :D
