The bass sax.....it's more like someone with Giantism davening. Sometimes also
like an obese, sweaty man pushed up against you on a streetcar, continuously
yelling; "GEEZ IT'S HOT IN HERE!!" I also have a contrabass sarrusophone, which 
I
plan to bring to our Klezmer Orchestra workshops soon. It's vocal quality is
rather like a hippo with a case of flatulance.
Bass-ically,
