Description
Compact bass saxophone, big sound and easy to take it around.
** Note
It is worth noting that the Compact bass was originally given the model SAX228C. The company also provided a size of 112 cm / 44 in.
Depending which website you look at, you might still find this information somewhere, which is why I mention it here.
If you are a lover of all things low, then enjoy these lovelies. Besides being sax porn, it also gives you a view of the difference in size between the Compact Bass (centre), and a conventional bass—albeit keyed to low A, on the right.
