As I wait for my Eppelsheim bass sax to be custom made, I visited Jay Easton to try a couple of his very unique saxophones. I was amazed at how well the contrabass sax played. Jay has it on a hydraulic stand that adjusted to my 6’4" height so that I could play it standing. It was provided by Benedict Eppelsheim.
Jay recently published a three contrabass saxophone performance where he dubbed all the parts. The contrabass sax plays to low A and sounds like a massive electronic organ! Check out this composition and many others that use the contrabass sax at http://www.jayeaston.com/galleries/sax_family/contrabass_page/contrabass_sax.html. And take the time to listen to the rendition of Doctor Suess’ "You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" based on an arrangement by Ward Baxter. Enjoy.
