I, myself, personalty like Bari. I think i like it because I'm a girl and people are shocked to see me play such a big instrument. but if you are just beginning to play a Saxophone, I would go with the alto. Because alto is a great beginning sax do to its size and easy hand positions! The alto sax is nice and small. Its light weight is easy for if your doing marching band or something. Tenor and soprano sax are B-flat saxophones. That doesn't particularly make them harder, but its a little more to transpose. Alto and Bari are E-flat. But if your still thinking 'tenor or Bari' i would go with Bari i f your willing to do with its size and weight. If you have experience on the saxophones and are willing to learn to transpose a little then go for it with the tenor! But I really LOVE my Bari sax! If you are talking 'better' as in easier I think the tenor may be easier because you don't have to work as hard to reach keys or blow as hard because of the size of the instrument. I love how DEEP the Bari sounds! Its an odd instrument that isn't seen very often!

All saxophones have the same fingerings
