Hello Jay

The tubax is made by hand one at the time
we don't have them in our shop and I don't know what it cost
You can contact Benedikt Eppelsheim
in Munchen / Germany
Tel 0049 8929163889
Regards
Paul Kortenhorst


I read somewhere that they sell for about half the price of the LA Sax/Orsi horns.
If you follow up on this, I'd love to know what you find out.
Regards, Jay >>

I'm doing a full article on Eppelsheim, with his Tubax and tiny Soprillo (Bb
sopranino) in the next issue of the Saxophone Journal. Amazing horns, both.

Currently some preliminary plans are being laid to present in Bucharest a
symphonic scherzo of mine whose score calls for a contrabass (BB-flat)
clarinet. There's some talk that I may have to substitute a contrabassoon
since there may be no contrabass clarinets in Romania. Does anybody know of
any, and of anyone who could play it? A few days ago I was reading about the
Bratisalava recording of Brian's "Gothic" Symphony and how they had to cheat
on the basset horns and the contra-clarinet since they couldn't find any
there--strange for a city so close to Vienna.
