It's deep! It's loud! It takes a lot of air to blow it!!

Good for 20's style Jazz & Ragtime music, bass saxophone can cover all the bass parts, having the same tonal range of a tuba or Sousaphone. 

Good for parades or walkabout acts where a loud acoustic bass is required and electric amplification is not available.  

For 50's Rhythym & Blues, bass saxophone is good to take traditional baritone parts with a super rich meaty tone!
