..if I were to want a "trial" barry, just to play for a while and see if it's for me, what would you suggest? Kala, Lanikai, etc--the usual suspects?
The usual suspects are all good, but you should also look in to the Rogue Bari from musiciansfriend. $29.99 is hard to beat especially if you just want to try it out.
I'd agree with kenikas! They sound pretty good to my ears, especially when Guting plays his.
I might have to pick one up!
I just played a Kala laminate mahogany bari yesterday in a local music shop. It was pretty cool. Had a unique sound and felt pretty good in my hands. I didn't check out the price tag cuz I was all like "oo I'm playing a baritone! (but I'm not gonna buy it!)"....it was fun though
