This is the only comparison I have seen of the actual same manufacturer, similar vintage and just between low A and low Bb. So thank you for that. I would prefer more low-end-focused samples, though - particularly as the horn is very likely to be used as a low harmony or bass reinforcer in an R&B, swing, or salsa band.

Thank you for your feedback! For the sound in the deep register check out 9:55min, 15:52min and 16:59min, also mentioned in the description. I think the Baritonesax got more possibilities than just playing the bottom note parts ;-)

Thanks for a very nice discussion and comparison. As a hobby I play tenor and soprano, but I am considering to buy a baritone, so this video was very valuable for me.

Enjoyed your exercise! Ausgezeichnet! I happen to own both an 11M and a 12M, both dating from 1970. I do find the 12M more clear, but love that Low A grunt!

The original ads for the Conn 11M use the slogan, “The Low A with guts.” And it does. My pal Doug “Mr. Low” James plays one, as well as a low Bb Super-20.

My pleasure! Mulligan played an older Conn with split b/b-flat, so it looks from the profile like that he would play a „low b“- baritone.

Hi David, I have a 50s something Stencil Beuscher Bari. I play a Link reworked #6* metal. What do you think of this vintage? I also have a very nice Mark6 desired vintage. Love the sound on both. Love your video! Best Wishes, Richard

It’s great to hear a review of these later 12M horns by someone who sounds like they can really play. In the U.S. the late 12M is a bit too common to earn deep respect, and as a result the playing examples can be really atrocious. Do you know if either of these horns was the type made in Mexico?
@Official_David_Milzow_Music
6 ай бұрын
Thank you for your feedback! Both horns are made in USA, the 12M is a Mid-60s-Horn, the 11M probably late 70s, the building-quality of the 11M was even better than the 12M! I think the later Conn-Baritones are still great horns!

I wonder how much of the tonal difference is the bell making a longer tube internally, compared to it causing reflections, and resonance? Definitely heard what you were talking about, before you described it, but from the point of view of the microphone obviously. Was actually surprised to hear so much of a difference in the higher end. Never thought low A baris sounded "thin", just more "focused" which is kind of nice actually. I have a Bb Super 20, but would like to upgrade to a modern low A--but also don't want to sell off the King to get it lol.

On the first hearing, the Low A has more resonance than the low Bb. I have a somewhat illogical dislike of low A baritones, purely from an aesthetic dislike of their appearance! However, I have no particular preference for the sound of either of these horns. I have a low Bb 12M, a ca. 1984, a Buescher TT ca. 1924-'25, and a Martin Handcraft 1934-'35. I prefer the Martin, simply for its tone, which would be somewhat akin to that of Tubby Hayes in his recording of "I'll Close My Eyes." kzitem.info/news/bejne/zZ9u0oaEraV9dmU
