Basssaxophon

The contrabass saxophone is the second-lowest-pitched extant member of the saxophone family proper.

Some revivalist bass saxophonists performing today in the 1920s–1930s style are Vince Giordano and Bert Brandsma, leader of the Dixieland Crackerjacks. Jazz players using the instrument in a more contemporary style include Roscoe Mitchell, Anthony Braxton, Peter Brötzmann, J. D.

The bass saxophone is an extremely rare and demanding instrument. With the evolution of repertoires instruments with extreme ranges are more and more requested.

Baritone and bass saxophones are two of the lowest-pitched members of the woodwind and saxophone families. The bass saxophone is larger than the baritone and is commonly made to be in the key of B♭, a perfect fourth lower than the baritone (in E♭). They were both invented in the 1840s by Adolphe Sax.

The bass guitar, electric bass or simply bass (/beɪs/) is the lowest-pitched member of the guitar family. It is a plucked string instrument similar in appearance and construction to an electric or acoustic guitar, but with a longer neck and scale length, and typically four to six strings or courses.

treble clef The tenor is pitched in the key of B♭ (while the alto is pitched in the key of E♭), and written as a transposing instrument in the treble clef, sounding an octave and a major second lower than the written pitch.

Although saxophones were conceived as a family of instruments, as seen in Adolphe Sax's 1846 patent, the bass was the first to be made. The saxophone family typically ranges from sopranino to contrabass. Bass saxophones were especially popular in jazz and dance bands between the First and Second World Wars.

Pitched at one octave below tenor, the bass saxophone is one of the largest members of the saxophone family - larger than the more commonly encountered baritone saxophone.

Yes, a true bass voice, particularly one with a deep and resonant Basso Profondo range, is relatively rare compared to other vocal types. The rarity of true bass voices can be attributed to several factors: Genetics: A person's vocal range and timbre are heavily influenced by their anatomical structure.

As with the contralto singing voice being the rarest female voice type, the bass voice is the rarest for males, and has the lowest vocal range of all voice types. However, the bass voice is determined not only by its vocal range, but also by its timbre, which tends to be darker than that of a baritone voice.

Baritone tessitura: Although this voice range overlaps both the tenor and bass ranges, the tessitura of the baritone is lower than that of the tenor and higher than that of the bass.

In short: the bass-baritone is a voice that has the resonant low notes of the typical bass allied with the ability to sing in a baritonal tessitura. Colloquially, it refers to a voice with a range and tone somewhere between a bass and a baritone.
