The J’Élle Stainer Subcontrabass Saxophone: A Photo Essay

This entry is part 5 of 7 in the series J'Elle Stainer Saxophones

Over the past 2 days I have featured articles about the subcontrabass saxophone built by Brazil’s J’Élle Stainer company. The saxophone is owned by Attilio Berni, who runs the Italian Saxophobia project.

As promised in the first article—which featured a video of the sax in its European concert debut—today’s article will be a photo essay of this massive horn. If you’re still using a dial-up connection, you might as well go and get yourself something to drink while you’re waiting for this page to load.  :cheers:

Although I have optimized the photos on this page for the web, they are still quite large. There was no way to make them smaller, and still provide the details in the size and clarity that I know most of you want.

A big thanks to Attilio Berni for sharing this very special instrument with us. It truly is a wondrous piece of saxophonic artistry.

If you haven’t yet read Attilio’s article about this instrument, and what it is like to play, you can find it here.
