The Contrabass Saxophone

A random guy playing the Contrabass Sax 
On my last day of music camp my sax teacher told me about the Contrabass Saxophone. There's one thing you have to know about it. It is HUMONGOUS! It's six feet seven inches tall! When you play it, you have to stand up as tall you can. The thing that helps you play it is that the part that goes on to the mouthpiece curls down. Here's something that will amaze you. A three year old girl can sit inside the opening in the horn!  There's one thing that really amazes me. There are only sixteen Contrabass Saxophones in the World and my music camp teacher has one of them.
