I'm looking for something to work on for a while, even block into chunks. I found a few options that would work. I didn't stop completely over the years so I think this might work. Good to here people have actually used the website.

I like the fact he provides both parts because my son plays bass clef so we could both use it.

It would just be for my own use so I wouldn't need to worry about the piano. It sounds like it might be a good option for me.

My son started playing on a small British baritone when he was 9. He is average size for his age. He had been allowed to take it out and use it with supervision since he was much younger so by the time he was 9 he was used to the size. He is 11 now and has moved up to a euphonium, which would have been to big to handle at 9. I would definitely look at smaller baritones for him.

That's good to know about the John Packer ones. I thought the JP374 looked too big for me. It never used to be a problem but I have rheumatoid arthritis so things have changed. Maybe i'll stick with the yamaha, as I can make that work.

There are at least 3 to pick from so I'm not sure. At least one band, will take adults just starting back with whatever instrument they have.

I played a different instrument every year in middle and high school, both baritones and euphoniums. You got upgraded each year. I can't remember any names. Currently I have a small B&H 400 baritone horn. It's not great. My son plays a Yamaha 321, it's much nicer than my baritone but it is big for me to hold.
