With\u00a0the fair amount of talk about Asian-made bass saxophones both here<\/a>, and on the various sax forums, I thought this YouTube clip was rather interesting. Bass saxophone player\u00a0Edmund Velasco, from one of the Disneyland bands, is playing an IW 661 by International Woodwind.<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

The IW 661 is the more expensive of the 2 models of bass saxophones<\/a> that International Woodwind sells. The IW 602 retails for $10,998, whereas the IW 661 we see in the video retails for $14,998. I wrote an article about these horns in October<\/a>, in case you missed it, and are interested in checking it out.<\/p>\n

Regardless if you’re a vintage horn enthusiast & player like I am, or prefer\u00a0modern horns for yourself, if you like bass saxophones, Pink Elephants On Parade<\/em> should bring a smile to your\u00a0face.\u00a0In it\u00a0we\u00a0hear our beloved bass doing what is was built to do, and that is a wonderful thing to behold.<\/p>\n
