COFFEE BREAK | The Subcontrabass Saxophone

By Ludwig Van on January 19, 2016

We’ve seen some deep instruments before, but nothing like the Subcontrabass Saxophone. The subcontra range is goes down to A0 which is 27.50 Hz. To put that into perspective, the human hearing  starts at 20 Hz, which makes this just 7.5 HZ above audible range. If you are listening to the video on your laptop or cell phone, you’ll just barely hear it.
