I don't even play the sax and I love these types of videos. Such a great sound. Much love from the US.

I met Benedikt Eppelsheim once at his shop in Munich. He showed me around and told me a little about how he makes these saxophones.

Sub-Contrabass I believe

Sub contrabass but Eppelsheim doesn’t make one

[@pizzapieparlor]

@@andys4971 they do make one www.eppelsheim.com/en/instruments/custom/

[@lystrixgaming9499]

Well, the sub contrabass is actually just a subcompact version of the contrabass, making it slightly easier to transport, but still cannot be carried (at least by a normal person lol)

[@edwincancelii2917]

That low A E flat contrabass saxophone and the low C B flat contrabass clarinet make a good duo.

[@GrotrianSeiler]

Thank you Mike! This video was terrific! Its pitch is insane.

[@johnporf9546]

Someone needs to try altissimo on that thing

Oh my God why does this exist im low enough as a saxophone

[@jorkles4691]

It’s Impossible to be too low.

[@PrinceSwaggy]

@@jorkles4691 it is possible like subcontrabass instrurments or instrurments below the Contrabass register are so low they can't even be heard unless you have a bass or big bass speaker

Thanks Lucradis, we've had a particularly busy few months here at the shop but we're going to make sure we get many more videos made over the next few months!

That Too Many Zooz tho ahah spectacular instrument, would love to try it one day

[@bootleghungarian2890]

Im Baritone player and that is nothing compared to this beast.

[@DynamixWarePro]

This sax is awesome, great to see saxes still being made lie this, and this is why I quite like what Eppelsheim is doing, making these types of instruments that no one else is nowadays. You mentioned most things but one important one, what kind of mouthpiece and reeds does this use? I'd love to come to your stores, maybe one day, I live in Northern Ireland so a bit further away at the moment. I was wanting to know though, could you do a review of the Eastman EAS253 alto sax? I can find very little information about it, no reviews and was wanting to know how it sounds and plays, maybe compared to similar priced saxes like the Yamaha 280 alto.

[@mattcaptol6515]

Hey. That was Warriors by Too Many Zooz.

[@Guuzaka]

That C1 tho! 🤯

[@LectronCircuits]

Totally tubular, dude. Cheers!

Get Leo back to do some multi-phonics on it!

How much does one of them cost because when I was in the store there was one at the window with no price

I see u playing TMZ warriors

[@bjwmorgan]

thats to cool :)

[@nathanbeech2927]

Do you think I could do this in marching band?

[@abedinsubashi]

A couple of questions I have. How much is it? Does the low A extension work similarly to a bari sax? What is the full range of the instrument? Could a bari sax mouthpiece work or does this have its own special mouthpiece? Also imagine how much spit comes out when you press the water key

[@pukalo]

Oh hell yes

what reeds does it use i cant fined cantrabass sax reeds and im gettin this thing i a month please help

[@ayee7503]

Question: Is it possible to get one of these things with a shoulder strap? Not asking if it's practical I'm asking if it's possible

[@andys4971]

Not sure about a shoulder strap but a vandoren sax harness I think is beefy enough to hold it

[@InsaneH]

But can you play a subcontrabass saxophone?

[@iCrescendo]

Is that shirt for sale as well? I need it!

[@keen6912]

But what clef is it in

[@jakebodnar2797]

Wheres the carb on this thing?

[@gaonsgirl]

How can you even hold that? I can barely hold a baritone sax in a play position

[@JustADerpySheep]

Is it possible to march the instrument?

[@andys4971]

Only if you are a giant

[@mattcaptol6515]

Finally

[@Chronic.Pivoter]

How much do the reeds cost? They're a fortune for bass saxophones, I can only imagine the price for this one... P.S. I still think effect pedals on tenor and baritone are a cheaper way of achieving the same result that produces a more stable sound.

[@duker1324]

I was watch a new video about the Contrabass Clarinet that came out a day before this video and a Contrabass Clarinet cost 32K. I wonder how much that thing costs? 😂

[@lythd]

25k

[@ayee7503]

About the same if we're talking USD. I think.

[@Cvarier-channel]

Through a car wash probably

[@IAmADerf5585]

It is really a ContraBaritone a contrabass is one octave below a bass sax

[@benjaminmarks8765]

Is this a joke?

[@alexbuffa2888]

The Bass saxophone is an octave below the Tenor Saxophone. The ContraBass Saxophone is an octave lower than the Baritone Saxophone. Technically, you are correct, if we continue the usage of the contra prefix in naming, it should be contra baritone . BUT, normal usage of musical voicing is soprano, alto, tenor, bass. Baritone voices can play/sing most of the Tenor range and many of the higher Bass pitches, but wasn't a term used in the beginning of music. Baritone fits the tessitura, range, of the Baritone Saxophone so Adolphus Saxophone named it that. ContraBass Saxophone hadn't been invented at that time.

[@Edwin572]

Please let me strap on this big contrabass saxophone so I can blow out some cool low notes for awhile and then end up the session blowing out some really low notes.

If you used the neck strap your head would go bye bye

[@Havoclegionpainting]

It's a normal saxophone, he's just very small.

[@musokid89]

In my opinion it really should be called a contra-baritone saxophone rather than an Eb contrabass saxophone. Like an Eb contra-alto clarinet instead of an Eb contrabass clarinet.
