Where might one find a contrabass, and how much would they expect to pay for one? I have been trying to find an answer, but nothing has really been sufficient.
If I remember correctly from some articles in Saxophone Journal the Orsi made LA Sax contrabass saxes were about USD50,000.00 because at the time that equated to about NZD100,000.00!Orsi made contrabass saophoners for LaSax in the late 90's. LaSax was in IL? Today I think it's Sax Dakota but I don't think they are selling contrabasses anymore. Price ?????

That is a brilliant idea!You can always hide in it when the going gets tough

The Tubax is a masterpiece: as easy as a tenor.
Actually the system to adjust the instrument's height is pretty ingenious, with a crankHope they held the step ladder securely for you
