Hi!

I found this on a German page:
Contrabass
It's a real contra, not a tubax, by Mr. Eppelsheim.

New Eppelsheim contrabass photo

My previous post was not correct. Benedikt Eppelsheim has told me that his new conventional contrabass saxophone is five feet 10 inches high, not seven feet high as I said previously. The configuration is similar to his new bass saxophone.
The slightly compact configuration should make it a little easier to get it into a vehicle. The low A key will make it play 1/2 step lower than any other contrabass. Here's a link to another photo:

New Contrabass saxophone with low A key

Benedikt Eppelsheim displayed his new contrabass saxophone at the World Saxophone Congress This is not the Tubax, but a contrabass saxophone in the conventional shape. However, it does have a low A key, making it the lowest Eb contrabass saxophone ever. Here's a photo:
