Most people reading this article, have come across at least one photo in the past of a really big-ass saxophone. No, I’m not talking a contrabass. I’m talking about something much bigger.<\/p>\n
True, J\u2019\u00c9lle Stainer’s recently built, full size subcontrabass<\/a> would qualify for that big-ass saxophone title. But what I’m thinking about, are actually old B&W or color photos that showed a saxophone so big, that it would have taken more than 1 person to play.<\/p>\n There is this 500 lb specimen<\/a> that was mounted to the outside of a music store, which I have already featured on my blog. I really think you’d need more than 1 ladder and 1 person to play this big-ass horn. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n A quick trip to Google brings up a couple more images like the ones I’m referring to. There is this Conn<\/a> that Dr. Jay Easton has a newspaper clipping from on his website. Apparently this poor horn became scrap metal during the Great Depression. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
