  • Just imagine seeing this instrument being played in a marching band. Pretty cool, right?

    Now think of the sucker who has to play it.

  • Listen to the saxes of Benedikt Eppelsheim and forget this one.

    Terrible intonation!

    Oh, at 2:27 what a bad made seam in the bell . . .

  • These mega bass saxes are just novelty. I've never heard one that sounded good. I have heard a great bass sax player, but the contrabass and subcontrabass are just for bragging rights, I'm beginning to think.

  • QUANTO CUSTA?

    

  • negatives suck... awesome job man

  • lo strumento e' magnifico m atu fai proprio sc. a suonare.

  • @ThatLegoBuilder I don't think you march with bigger saxophones than baritone..I have done it and it is enough.

  • Tem nota ai que não afina hein...

  • What a hoot! Fifty years ago I was a music student at Oklahoma State University. They had a contra bass sax in the instrument room. I use to get a hold of that sucker every now and then and give it a go. It would play so low it would literaly "shake" you. This guy wasn't playing nearly as low of notes as thing thing is capable of. I love it.

  • @himmlnomml True, intonation seems difficult, but might result from the player as well. As least it sounds much better than the thin-breasted Eppelsheim horns, I think.

  • Uck that's awful. Not surprised though; when I tried out the J'Elle bass sax I remember thinking if this is the best, I'm not getting a bass sax. I got a Keilwerth bass ;-)

  • @hap184 Is it now "the final version of the mighty sub-contrabass ", or under construction, just an unfinished test?- Also, you "never played this before"?

    Other than the ~325 "Hino" recordings on contrabass sax?- Excuses!
