Here's the celebratory build as promised.

Baritone Saxophone

Historical background

The baritone sax is one of the largest members of the sax family. It was originally created to be part of a family of instruments made my a Belgian instrument maker Adolphe Sax to be a tonal link between woodwinds and brasses. Like other saxes the "Bari" sax is a conical tube of brass they serves to amplify and modify the sound produced by a vibrating reed in the mouthpiece. Its characteristic curved neck serves to keep the baritone sax as a manageable size. It is still quite large however, and is generally avoided in marching bands. But despite this it has proved to be quite popular in military bands.

Notes

I know the curve on the neck goes the wrong way, the blueprints I used (As shown above) got me all confuzzled. I'm an alto sax guy so I'm not too familiar with the shape of the baritone.
