Contra-basses are HUGE.
Would love to play one.
But only about 30 or so exist, but they're apparently making more.
Sub-contra-basses are bigger, but aren't really playable. 3 have been made, 2 can't play at all. The third was made in 1999 and can be played, but they're debating on whether it's a sax or not because it's more like a sarrusophone (a double reed instrument).
I love low instruments, but gee. Adolphe Sax had some major issues. But, he did plan out saxes to replace pretty much every instrument. I think we should. Ya know, make a band with every type of sax replacing every other instrument. We could. wink

I have heard of those saxes before.
OMG SO BIG!!!!
Anyway....I remember I came across a video of someone playing the contrabass on youtube. It looks so simple to play that sax....even though it's humungous.
