I had a Bass Sax for a bit. It was a Conn stencil built around 1917.

yes, this picture would be better if I put a shirt on.

but hey, it's me, playing my knackered arbiter pro POS.

don't play her too much, i play double bass in county orchestra and county jazz band... and electric bass in the schools wind band. and I'm not pro enough to make it into sax quartet. so I occasionally jam on it in band prac.

keep meaning to start a soul band

Hells yeah, sax is really my main instrument. I'm actually majoring in saxophone performance. I'm mainly a tenor man, I get out the alto sometimes for classical work.



Me playing with my university jazz ensemble.

pro enough for quartet?? just gotta be able to read and tap your foot, mate. I played a little alto in Quartet, mostly bari tho.
I basically have the four main members of the family, for the longest time i've been an alto/bari doubler (well........recently i've been, played a lot more bari earlier tho), and now my thing is tenor......THE RANGE IS SO EASY! and maybe one of these days i'll play soprano

lol I don't know, I've never seen a horn of that much dime. Bass sax is like fifteen to twenty grand.....contrabass must be what, like thirty to fifty grand? Played an instructor's bass sax for a large ensemble tho....
