S E R I E I I I
The Series III baritone opens the way to an original repertoire and soloist destiny, following in the path of the bass clarinet.
- With unparalleled tuning balance, its tone colour is remarkably even, including in the extreme registers.
- The sound, rich in overtones and embracing a full range of tonalities, is accessible to all styles of music.
- The reduction in size of several soldered parts (ribs, bow guards…) and changes to the neck have been designed to optimize resonance: the instrument is immediately responsive to the musician’s slightest touch, without any loss of energy. It offers increased possibilities with great playing comfort.
- Compact keywork and a close grip enables enhanced dexterity and speed approaching that of the alto saxophone: playing through registers is made easy and further facilitated by natural handling.
- Finally, a lighter overall weight and the peg system attached to the bell frees the musician from handling constraints. With the new Series III, the baritone finally comes into its own genuine identity.
The Serie III baritone is a very timbred instrument, rich in harmonics, homogeneous over the entire range with very fluid register changes.
This instrument, with its warm sound, develops a centered, flexible and fine sound which adapts to all types of repertoire, in the line of the Serie III. An instrument with character.
Its perfectly studied ergonomics gives an impression of immense lightness unique to the baritone. A great deal of work has been done to reduce its weight, which contributes to this feeling of easy handling of the Serie III baritone.
