  • @ChrisisBass13 Oh that's cool so my band teacher was wrong :D

  • @12comet12 no there are more. i just dont know who makes them.

  • aren't there only like 7 in the world

  • @saxplaya96 Thats what SHE said.

  • Contrabass saxes are proper saxophones, Tubaxes are pseudo-saxes.

  • There were only two subcontrabass saxophones built and neither played. They were both for show. Someone did however build an extremely large saxophone-like instrument that could not play a full scale and did need more than one person to blow into it.

  • Could somebody please play 'American Patrol' by Glenn Miller on a contrabass saxophone. I think it would sound good. Better??

  • wouldn't any saxophone lower than a bass sax be a contrabass? This looks like the eppelsheim contra - which has the proper bore size to be a true contrabass saxophone, unlike the tubax which can be argued is a type of single reed sarrusophone.

  • The bore size ratio is different, so in that sense it isn't a sax.. but everything else is.

    It is a sudo-sax IMO :)

  • If you want some real contrabass solos listen to "Canal Street Blues" ~ Uptown Lowdown Jazz Band on youtube. You'll find the solos at about 3:40
