even though I've heard of the Tubax for quite a while, I still must say, that's not right to be able to go that low, it has to be illegal to dig that deep in the note range! :-P
I do believe that the bari is one octave below the alto, the Eb tubax one below the bari, and the tenor between alto and bari and the bass one octave below that. I might be wrong, thats just how it has seemed to me. But the tubax (I prefer Eb because I play alto and bari) ROCKS!
The tubax is the lowest and is sometimes referd to as the sub contrabass. Although becouse the bore is a little too small some don't consider it a sax.
Man that is some Afro you got going on there dude...no wonder you can hit them low notes!!! Shamonnn!!!

You mean, tubax. A Tuba and a tubax are very much different instruments....

yep, you're right.

btw, the sax on the video is a sub-contrabass tubax, pitched in Bb, two octaves below a tenor sax.
McKottfars 5 years ago
You're right. If I'm right, a tubax (or contrabass sax) costs somewhere around +10-15 000$, and they're pitched two octaves below alto sax...
McKottfars 5 years ago
erm...a Tubax is a whole different instrument than a Contrabass. The Contrabass Saxophone is the lowest of the low.

I know, but isn't the Bb Tubax pitched lower than the Eb Contrabass? (Yes, I know that the two are completely different...)

The tubax is the lowest and is sometimes referd to as the sub contrabass. Although becouse the bore is a little too small some don't consider it a sax.
