I LOVE IT!! It's hard to find a video of a subcontrabass sax of any kind, let alone a tasteful and meaningful performance of one. This is the performance I've been waiting for!
I know the E-flat Tubax is played with a baritone mouthpiece. What is used for the B-flat instrument here? (Last year I got to try the Eppelsheim C bass, which is played with an alto mouthpiece!)
Tubax is in Eb, subcontrabass is in Bb those are to different saxophones. A Tubax is just a regular contrabass saxophone except it is just more compact. Tubax/contrabass is an octave lower than Bari sax and subcontrabass is an octave lower than bass sax.
@Abner Willian @Abner Willian então, o nome oficial é só tubax Bb mesmo, mas o timbre seria o de um sub ou octo contrabarítono se ele fosse um contrabarítono o que não é. Ele é um Tubax subcontrabaixo mesmo aliás único no mundo. Forte abraço e obrigado por comentar fica com Deus🙏🏽
Tubax should be usually in E♭, as I know. This B♭ instrument seems like sarrusophone in B♭ with saxophone mouthpiece. The diameter of tube of the tubax may be larger than this one. Anyway, the performance itself is so beautiful!
how’d he get that tone out of his instrument like that? I don’t think I’ve ever heard a Tubax take on this type of timbre before. His instrument doesn’t really sound like a saxophone and I really want to know how he did it. Is he overblowing? Is he using a different type of reed?
Actually, it is the acoustic proportions uniquely sculpted with state-of-the-art materials used to build the stage in order to reproduce that sound. Every minute detail is taken into account. I'd use two or three empty Ready-to-use sheet-rock plaster boxes on each side nodal point. I wonder what kind of resonators are below the tarp. Just kidding.
The Bb Tubax must be a terribly difficult instrument to keep in a supporting role and still be heard at all. Yet Schorn brings real refinement to it, along with the forceful quality of a strongly bowed bass viol. I doubt any contrabassoonist could do the same...and certainly could not slap the keys for a percussion effect! (The sax behind him is a tenor. The Tubax is pitched 2 octaves lower.)
Contrabassoon rattles incessantly at the volumes Steffen is playing at and it can only go down to a Bb0 which is not gonna be good for the piece as he hits the Ab0 on the tubax which is gonna kill the vibe if your doing a cover of this specific performance. So, no.

Absolutely a stunning performance. I've never heard a Subcontrabass sax sound so beautiful, and paired with the cello is just heaven to my ears.
Wow the sound of Tubax is just like the rumbling strings on a contrabass, which blends well with the cello.
I LOVE IT!!

If I never play tubax, I will have never lived
truth
It’s actually really fun to play, it’s the smoothest but deepest thing you’ll ever play (I played the Eb one)
If I don’t ever get to own a subcontrabass tubax then I will have never lived
The cellist is so fabulous. With the cobra- sax its easy to miss how beautifully she plays that cello. What a treat.
It is indeed a blast to play :-)
excellent performance!
A low Bb Bb Tubax subcontrabass saxophone; that’s awesome.
I think BBBb.. A Bb tuba is said to be in BBb because it's built to go to E in the CC octave. Whereas a subcontra sax goes to Ab in the CCC octave.
That's amazing
So awesome!
More please.

Top por Di Mais esse camarada domina esse tubx
plz make more videos of you playing this or can you upload a video of you playing the full chromatic scale
Is that a subcontractor or contra? It doesn’t appear to be sub. Wow what a sound. At times it rumbles like the low notes of an organ.

See their is a difference
Mattphillips 0516 there are three types of tubax's
1. the Contrabass in C
2. the Contrabass in Eb
3. and the subcontrabass in Bb
+Deatherman102 _ Word?!? Who even sales those?
Those are even prototypes or special models, like those Steffen Schorn uses.
Here's a link
Esse octocontrabaritono ou tubax subcontrabaixo é fantástico com som muito mais encorpado e suave que o sax subcontrabaixo.

@@pedroi9008 so then…. What is it? (Light chuckle)

You haven't met Steven braunstein then
Or Lewis Lipnick
@@Saxman_sam Exactly!
No actually. Since the bore at the mouthpiece isn’t that wide it’s supposed to be a very easy instrument to get a sound out of.
OMG!!!
This is great, but the audio quality is awful, so it can't be appreciated to its fullest extent.
You could honestly play this on contrabassoon.
Ok and?
Just a little odd to have it written specifically for Bb tubax.
@@Saxman_sam I dont see anything wrong with this piece being written for a tubax.
Contrabassoon rattles incessantly at the volumes Steffen is playing at and it can only go down to a Bb0 which is not gonna be good for the piece as he hits the Ab0 on the tubax which is gonna kill the vibe if your doing a cover of this specific performance.
So, no.
I can’t even hear it.
Mostly in the beginning, you start to hear it later on.
