I really really really wanna buy my first Bari but don’t know where to start. I‘ve been playing for a solid 3 years and I think it’s time to get one for my upcoming marching season. I already have an alto that I practice my bari parts over the summer or when I can’t bring my school rented one in the past and it’s good but I could be better. The ones the school provides are CRUSTY and require a lot of regular maintenance which means sometimes you have to march the less broken altos or get them lent from feeder schools. I’m thinking of buying a secondhand one because I’m not ready to drop a car payment on one quite yet (also I’m afraid to dent a brand new one). Please help me out guys. I’m located in arizona.🙏
