@@patrickmeyer2802 tubax is too recent and too niche, even the most well funded military bands and wind ensembles do not include the tubax today. Would be cool though!
Contrabass sarrusophone is in Eb (like bari sax but an octave lower and with a double-reed); this piece is in C minor. I used an extension to reach the low concert C in the fourth part.
To handle contrabassoon parts - particularly in French military bands - but have less difficult fingering, and be more tolerant of bad weather. But I gather that it's almost as hard to play in tune.
Now it sounds like pigs snorting, but very melodically.
I love it.
It kinda sounds like a bass saxophone quartet
More like a contrabass saxophone quartet.
The contrabass sarrusophone was actually the instrument chosen to replace the monstrous contrabass saxophone in military bands.
@@shiningarmor2838 Hey i remember you
Pretty sure that was the Tubax

You know this looks very interesting. Would it be too much to ask if you can do a sarrusophone or a bassoon choir?
I think this is the first contrabass sarrusophone video in UA-cam
Adrian Delgado the first one that doesnt suck
@@dedede5586 Sidney Bechet in "Mandy, Make Up Your Mind" (1924) is one of the most memorable jazz solos of all time!
@@dbadagna I do not believe there was youtube in 1924
How’s the subcontrabassoon project coming along?
Amazing!!! 😀
Sick
Omygod yes
Cool
Why was the contrabass sarrusophone the most popular? This instrument sounds much better in the higher register.
may i know the brand of your sarrusophone because i want to get one too.
It's a Conn (as are almost all sarrusophones in the US), but it's not mine; I rented it from Richard Meek at Texas Tech.
Does it read I’m base cleff?
In*
