one of the better renditions of this beautiful ancient tune that I've heard. I've been surfing for hours to find a non-fucked-about rendition of a beautiful pre-chordal musical piece and this is the best so far. Dude - keep it simple !!
it's definitely not a contrabass, they're about 6 1/2 foot tall, and you definitely can't carry it with a neck strap XD plus, only about 4 or 5 are made each year by ORSI and they cost upwards of £50,000. Certainly not something you carry about on a night out! Yeah, it's probably just a bass sax.
This is fucking hilarious. Bowling, drinking, New Years, Bass sax in the middle of the night in the middle of the street. Im sure 99% of people out there think this is a bad idea, but I'm for the 1% out there that think this is a great idea.
Some Pepole get confused because the Bass Sax in US Layout looks way different and taller than the french ones. THe American ones are slimmer and taller, the french ones look more bulky and are not much higher than a baritone.
I'm pretty sure that is a bass sax. If it were a contrabass or subcontra he probably wouldn't be able to have it around his neck since it would be so big.
Yes I think that is a Bass as well, but it is possible to carry a Contrabass around your neck, the are 6'4" with the mouth piece being midway down it allowing any average height or tall man to carry it and weighing around 45 pounds which is reasonable for any grown man to carry. I have seen people have them like that before.

This is NOT a contrabass saxophone. It is a traditional style ("high wrap") bass saxphone.

The contrabass is nice, but it sounds like the performer could use a little brushing up on...

If it was a contra believe me it would be obvious they're gigantic
hobybobag 4 years ago
Yeah thats a Bass saxophone, it is way to small to be a Contra. It is also too big to be a Bari.
reaper369158 4 years ago
Yeah, that's a bass. Not big enough for a contrabass, but the neck goes to far back down from the top to be a bari.
