@BronyUSA i saw an article that said there were about 25 in the world... it'll probably cost you a whole cr*p load of money IF you get the oppertunity to buy one.
What a beautiful sax! You play this monster very well too! I'll bet the STAND for this instrument almost cost as much money as my 1st Selmer Mk VI tenor did in back in 1966.
Thank you for posting this.
For the rest of you guys interested in REALLY BIG instruments, go to your search engine and check out the "Contra-Bass Compendium." The site has some really amazingly LARGE woodwind & brass instruments...
What impresses me about this instrument is that even though it's sound is low and deep the notes sound sharp and clean and of course your good playing helps.
Owwww! Very nice, sir. I thought only alice in wonderland played those type of saxes! I just read you played in Word of Mouth with Jaco. Glad I found your channel :D What was it like playing with Mr Pastorius?
Very nice! I had an opportunity to play Paul Cohen's contrabass in 1992. To me, wind was not a problem. The problem is the response when playing the low notes. You don't seem to have any problem in this area.
Slow passages are much easier for an instrument that low. I am impressed by your technique.
At first, I read your comment as, "this saxophone comes with a giant island"...but what bothers me is that I thought that was pretty reasonable before taking a second look.
I'm mad my band teacher never got me one. so what it's 10,000 dollars. who cares that i'm the only one who's got the balls to play it. stupid 15 freakin xylos
@4stringFanatico I assume you mean baritone and you would choose this because it is tuned an octave below baritone for a even more deep and full sound.
Reasons like this is what makes the Sax the sexiest instrument ever! What else will give you those sultry tones! Don't know if my alto adapted pipes could ever play the contra!
