that's a tubax,not a contra,isn't it?

@annanoli

No, it's an Eppelsheim contrabass saxophone. The Tubax is more compact and has a smaller bore, and the lowest note is low Bb. This contrabass goes down to low A (concert C)

I want to hear legit saxophone played on this instrument...

@IIIThreat

Try listening to my video, "19th century contrabass sax solo" on Youtube. Very legit.

This is my fourth Eppelsheim instrument. I have never met Benedikt Eppelsheim, but I have the utmost respect for his genius in making musical instruments.

The mechanisms sound a bit noisy, but what a COOL sound...

I bet when the reed on that thing breaks, you can use it as a snowboard.
