The contrabass saxophone is one of the lowest-pitched members of the saxophone family. It is extremely large (twice the length of tubing of the baritone saxophone, with a bore twice as wide, standing 6 feet four inches tall, or 1.9 meters) and heavy (approximately 45 pounds, or 20.4 kilograms), and is pitched in the key of EE♭, one octave below the baritone.
Especially in its lowest register, the instrument produces a massive and somewhat harsh, foghorn-like tone. Because of its extremely low register (like the contrabassoon), it can be difficult for listeners to perceive individual pitches; instead of hearing a clearly defined melody, listeners may instead hear a series of "buzzy" tones with little pitch definition.
Here is a page with some mp3's of the thing.

Love those low notes. You should also go to Youtube and punch in Abrandsma for some good BBb bass sax tunes. Leebm29
Whenever I hear the sound of the saxophone, It reminds me of my children because they are so dear to me. Sound of the saxophone may it be lo low pitch or somewhat harsh still it makes someone's heart alive and happy.
I've heard about prices going down for the iPhone internationally. Is this true? I thought they were going great, seeing all those videos with people standing in enormous lines for three days! Does this price change show a non-acceptable thing for Apple? Also, I am interested in buying one. What are the prices and what different types are there? Just interested :).
