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!
