A fantastic baritone - affordable, stylish and with a full-bodied tone that you will love!

The BetterSax Classic Baritone follows the same mantra as the alto and tenor models, offering quality in all departments while being affordable at the same time.  Many student baritones can have a slightly lacklustre tone and inconsistency through the range, but the BetterSax Classic has none of that.  The Japanese-style bore design helps to bring about a tone that is rich, sophisticated and even through the range.  Intonation is stable and consistent from the low A to the top F#.  The keywork has been designed with great ergonomics in mind; the low A key is slender and easy to manipulate, the table key cluster is small and set close to the Left-hand main stack, the low Eb/C is similarly accessible in relation to the Right-hand stack.  The overall key action is light, and close to the body, allowing the player to freely manoeuvre around the instrument with ease.

For a high-end student instrument, the BetterSax Classic does very well in the looks department.  The lacquer has a deep lustre and depth that is immediately appealing.  Regarding build quality and componentry, again there is attention to detail.  Pisoni Leather pads with metal domed resonators offer a good seal between pad and tone-hole, corks and felts are premium-grade, blue steel springs ensure an even key action, and the overall mechanism is sturdy and fluid in operation.

Another great aspect to this baritone is the inclusion of the BetterSax Classic mouthpiece - a full-bodied and responsive beginner's mouthpiece that out-performs most 'stock' mouthpieces that come with many instruments.  These are made in the Babbit factory in the USA, famous for the production of the classic American Links and Meyers.  The pairing of this mouthpiece with this sax gives the player a free-blowing, rich and vintagy tone - a great way to start out if you're new to the baritone!

Besides the mouthpiece, the sax comes with an accessories package that includes a ligature, cap, neck strap, cork grease and polishing cloth.

Review

As I write this, I'm hot off the heels of doing a video review for the Classic baritone and have a strong overall enthusiasm for this entry into the market. Given its price point - not too cheap, but certainly not in the realm of the pro horns, I believe it offers a lot.  I believe a great many players look to take up the bari because they are curious about the experience of playing such an instrument, or they are looking to play it in some kind of band, perhaps in conjunction with alto or tenor.  For this, it's not always necessary to break the bank and go for those high-end instruments.  It's true that on a Yani or Yamaha you will notice an extra notch of power and projection and refinement in mechanism, but again the law of diminishing returns applies - you can spend half (or less) the money and get a baritone that has an extremely mature, and in my view, vintage-sounding tone.  The BetterSax Classic is also highly playable - the mechanism is solid and the keywork is comfortable with a great action.

Given the success of the alto and tenors, and the trust the sax community holds in Jay Metcalf and the BetterSax products, I can see this baritone being an extremely popular addition to the range.

I started my own photo printing shop
Having a printer that performs this well has been great. Setting it up was easy to do with the included instructions. I already have a color laser printer which I use all the time, and you may be wondering why I would go buy an inkjet printer. Photos. You can't print on glossy paper with a laser printer very well. All the photo paper I've purchased clearly says it's for inkjet printers. While this hasn't stopped me from trying. The results have been very poor. Especially if you want to cut the photos to specific sizes. Little bits of toner get everywhere. I've been putting off getting an inkjet because the cartridge system is too expensive and messy. I got more ink on my hands pulling the stickers off the refills than filling every tank on the HP 7602. This printer has all the features you would expect such as Wi-Fi, flatbed scanner, automatic document feeder, 2-sided printing, and even an ID card copy function. If your business provides financing this is something that would really make things easy for you. My wife and I print photos from our phone using the HP Smart app or the phone's default printing app and both produce excellent results. The photos are where you would expect them to be, and the quality is as good as getting them from the pharmacy. Like I said I have a laser printer, but I was curious how this would work just printing some regular documents. It’s not quite as fast obviously but the results are just as good. I love the user interface that is so seamlessly placed into the front bezel. Unless it’s telling you something you would never know it was there. This Printer checks a lot of boxes for me and was 100% worth the investment.

HP Warranty: Know this before buying; Unit malfunction in less than 5 months
UPDATE: Not even 5 months using this printer and there are problems. 1 - the printer's black ink is not working. A blank paper comes out for documents printed in black ink only. The problem: the black ink is not running through the tube that connects the blank ink tank to the ink cartridge. The tube is totally clear. 2 - The ink cartridge does not move to the center when opening the printer cover, preventing access and removal of the ink cartridge. HP Tech Support: Spent about an hour with tech support for them to tell me what I already knew - the printer is defective. HP Warranty: HP is not abiding by the terms of the warranty. According to the standard warranty, HP is to first ship a replacement. To ship the defected unit back, the customer is to use the prepaid shipping label provided by HP and use the box of the replacement unit to ship the defective unit back. Without any advance notification to the customers, HP has indicated to me that this policy does not apply to Smart Tank printers. Smart Tank purchasers are responsible to bear the cost of shipping the defective unit and providing the box. Once HP receives the defective unit, they will then ship the replacement. This policy obviously extends the period the customer is without a working printer. I tried pushing back, but to no avail. Replaced a HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer. The HP 7602 takes up less space, is well made, looks nice and the printing quality is better. The printing speed is slower, which will be much more noticeable when printing multiple, double sided pages. The paper tray does not have a slider from the top to ensure that the paper stays level and in place. It only has sliders on the side. I would have liked to see an Officejet Pro 8600 equivalent tank printer. The cost of ink cartridges for regular inkjet printers can not be justified for someone that does not print much.

Why didn’t I buy this sooner?
I am so happy I shelled out for the 7602. HP makes less expensive Ink tank printers but this is perfect for me. Pros: 1. The printing quality is great. I’m in the middle of a massive project that requires thousands of pages to be printed. I upgraded to 32lb paper to ensure the project would be quality, but also to handle double sided printing with images. The images with this printer and clear with zero smudging. 2. It’s fast. It said 12 pages per minute, but I’m getting more than that double sided. 3. The paper tray. The ad doesn’t go into this, but the paper tray is rad. I have terrible back pain so to sit and do a project for hours is hard enough. To have to get up to reload a paper tray sucks. This paper capacity has got to take 200-250 sheets. I grab about half the package of paper to fit a load snuggly. I LOVE this feature. 4. The cost I was worried about the reality of the savings on ink. The initial cost is over $300. However the little ink jet cartridges are between $30 to $50 each time. They run out so fast. Plus, HP changed the machines to only read their proprietary cartridges, so you can’t order a cheap fast cartridge off Amazon. I printed close to 1,000 pages last night and I’m only seeing a slight dip in the ink levels. That’s crazy. Now consider the ink. The bottles are designed so they fit over the loading tube. No mess. I was worried about this because I am a stone cold clutz. I did spill a drop of blue, but I was moving fast. The bottles have a plastic top the presses into the tube creating a seal. Imagine when you pull a gas nozzle out of your tank. If you are in a rush you might drip gas on your car. This is the same. You pull the bottle up slowly allowing the plastic barrier to seal. I just whipped off the bottle but only 1 drop spilled, by the tube. I haven’t tried the scanner. I will update in awhile. The only con is the paper catch. This is where the prints come out and stack up. It has a manual slide out. If you forget to pull it out your pages will end up on the floor. I’m a bit spoiled from the automatic arm that extended on my ink jet when you press print. To me that is such a small sacrifice for all the advantages. I highly recommend this printer. In the last 3 months I spent $600 on cartridges. I wish I had done this sooner!

So far a great printer
So far a great printer. Was a little worried after reading a lot of the reviews. However I was tired of ink cartridges and wanted to give the tank a shot. Heck I have 30 days to try it out with Amazon returns , so why not. Setup only took a couple minutes. Simple to read instructions, online setup guides made it quick and easy. Filling the ink tanks was painless. Installing printer heads was easy. Although was a little worried as it took a little more force the. Expecting to close the cover. Was afraid I was going to brake it. Zero problems connecting to internet. Did a test fax and worked great! Did a test scan with zero issues! Printed several test pages from cell phone and computer with zero issues. Print quality was great even with testing on plain printer paper. Only negative I have is the power cable does not connect securely and can easily come loose causing power to disconnect. Which is my reason for 4 stars as I can see how this might become an issue

Very Happy with My New Printer - Features Important to You are Worth the Cost
My HP Photosmart 7520 purchased in Dec 2014 finally died. It was inexpensive, but was a faithful servant! I could not resolve a new "printhead not detected" error and although I may still be able to fix, I thought it time to replace. I grew tired of the print cartridge change outs. I just spent a day using this new (my third HP) printer and all is well. I like everything about it. Ease of set up, the paper tray, document feeder, the look/design, and especially the ink. The ink will last a long time given my use and replacements will not be $$. I even like the panel light which duration can be user selected. I could have spent less, but the additional features are worth the cost to me. The set up via my MacBook was easy. Yes, I could have done this with my phone, but I enjoy using my Mac. Registration was seamless. I did have a hiccup. Initially color printing was not available from my Mac OS. HP test pages were fine, but no color via any apps using my Mac OS. I Googled the issue and within 2 minutes I found that a reinstall of the Mac driver from the HP site was needed. That took another 2 minutes and color options appeared in the print settings! Strange, I know, and I don't care why ... just glad that a fix was that easy. So, I examined Canon, Brother, and all the HP models, chose this one and glad I did. I have been messing with this tech since the late '80s and I like how HP has evolved its printers. My laser printer experience was limited to the workplace ... I am an inkjet guy at home so I limited my search to that format. I don't think you will be disappointed. Purchased via Amazon. Delivery within 2 days.
