New Contrabass....

[TerriblePeril]

So many samples for my granular synth in this thread! Hahaha.

I love these instruments that have fallen so far out of popularity. What’s that vid with the big harmonica band playing “Powerhouse” was it?

Never heard of such a thing before. What a great sound!

A guy I play with in a blues band with has some weird harps like that one.

Years ago, there used to be actual harmonica orchestras that required instruments that could play bass parts, ons that could play full chords easily, etc. Even today, there's still a few around.

I saw the Harmonicats play a USO show when I was serving in the Vietnam War in '72.

Respect. I was 5 years too young for that gig (whew). (Graduated HS in '77, didn't even have to register.)

Played by Nashville stalwart Charlie McCoy.

It’s all over this tune...

Pet Sounds is my favorite album and upon diving into this thread, "I know there's an answer" immediately popped into my head

this saxophone...Contrabass...is not photo shopped

That's the "long" contrabass sax format. There's also a "fat" format

The Sub-Contrabass saxophone laughs at your puny little "long" and "fat" instruments:
