Bass Sax - one octave below Bb tenor!
Decorated with fine engraving. Low Bb to high F#, additional altissimo
register valve, wide bore for a warm voluminous tone, large tone holes for a
free response and dynamic range, new neck design for less resistance, precisely
shaped bore taper for accurate intonation, brass with old gold lacquer. With
case & stand.
Tubax Contra Bass Sax - 1 octave below Eb baritione!
Low Bb to high F#, new high register key, 3 automatic octave keys, uses
baritone or bass mouthpiece, narrow bore for less air consumption, brass
with old gold lacquer. With hard case.
Here is a clip (mp3) of Randy Emerick on tubax, playing Stardust (with the Jerry Fischer Orchestra, Hollywood FL, Mike Lewis, Arranger). It may take a minute as it's quite a large file but it's worth it!
Benedikt offers even lower Tubaxes tuned in C and Bb, the latter finally realizing the subcontrabass saxophone, planned 150 years ago, but never built — up to now!
