Well it appears that another Asian-made, American-style bass saxophone is available. Or might be available. Or could be, if enough people sign up for it.<\/p>\n

This morning, in a thread on the Woodwind Forum, it was brought to my attention that Aquilasax had a bass saxophone on its site<\/a>. It appears that maybe the stencil name that this Jinyin-made bass is being sold under, is Solo.<\/p>\n

This is how this horn is described:<\/p>\n

Bass sax Bb<\/h4>\n

Part Number BassaxSOLO<\/strong><\/p>\n

Traditional bass sax made in Beijing. I played one briefly and found it to be big. Felt a bit like my Conn baritone but bigger. Looked a bit like a Conn too, similar keys. Big sound! Email Steve if interested?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Since the instruments are currently not in stock, and the price is showing as $0.00, I’d say he’s gauging interest to see if he’s got enough people to warrant ordering some in.<\/p>\n

I don’t know about you, but I find it curious that Steve would even try and float this. He is after all, the king of new saxophones in the key of C\u2014with perhaps a foray into the key of F<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In any event, given that I’m trying to stay on top of what’s new in the world of bass saxes, I wouldn’t be doing my job  \ud83d\ude09   if I didn’t at least mention this. Stay tuned, tomorrow we’ll take a closer look at Steve’s other bass project.<\/p>\n
