Xtreme Saxes
Handmade by Benedikt Eppelsheim
Bass Sax - one octave below Bb tenor!
(I know it's a bit of a cliché but if you're a sax player then this really is
the most fun you can have with your clothes on!)
Wow - what a sound and easier to play than you might imagine.
Price includes UK mainland delivery
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 and SAXRAX adjustable bass sax stand.
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!
