Enjoyed playing it a lot in High School, except in marching band (which I was drafted into), and also carrying the bloody thing home for over a mile.

• especially liked the ensemble arrangement of [Lennie Niehaus]

Would love to buy a new one, but costs $2500+, which is a big commitment.

It's tempting to buy a digital sampler and MIDI [Wind Controller], since

• could play/learn other instruments as well (have wanted to learn keyboards, just call me [Professor Shorthair])

• kids could use it to learn keyboards

• could practice with headphones late at night without waking anyone up

• but probably not quite the same feel (physical satisfaction and aural realism) of the true big monster

Would need to find a group to play with, since playing alone is too boring.

• [New School] has ensembles, $500/semester, and they haven't been run the last semester or 2 due to lack of demand...

Good [BariSax] music:

• The Three Baritone Saxophone Band Plays Mulligan

• the [Bluiett Baritone Saxophone Group] Live at the [Knitting Factory].
