"Hi, for Expert Village, I'm EJ John Erickson and we're talking about the baritone saxophone. We gave you a quick intro on our first session, but it's all about playing. So let's play them so you can kind of hear the differences between the four. So, let's start off with the soprano. Now, I'm going to try and play the exact same line and a couple of different riffs on each one so, again, you get the same music, but through four different horns. So, let's see if I can do it. So that's the soprano. Okay, so the alto, let's get a little feel for the sound of the alto. So, that's the alto. Alright, the tenor saxophone, the next one in our family. See if we can play that riff. So there you go, that's your tenor. Okay, and finally, the Bari. Alright, so there's the Bari. So stay with us, we're going to now start to dive in and get into the details of the Bari sax. Stick around."
