I once played baritone in a soul band that also had a second baritone  
sax player. Those Wilson Picket riffs came out very heavy as we  
always played in unisone with a third guy on trumpet doubling one or  
two octaves up. Bari is a cool instrument but way too heavy to carry  
hanging from your neck. I sold it very long ago but it stills comes  
back in my dreams, now looking like a four meter long vacuum cleaner  
that I blow into to make huge snarling sounds ;-)
