Gorgeous stuff. Notice that unlike the Leblanc, this instrument has all four of the trill keys for the right index finger.

Look at the beautiful Eb contrabass sax, too, at http://www.eppelsheim.com/eb_kontrabass_saxophon.php?lang=en. Does anyone know the function of the bluish gray flexible cable running from the upper vertical descending section to above the thumb hook?

The sax looks fine, and probably plays much better than the old ones, but the old ones, with the man-eating bell, looked better. For playing qualities, there's no comparison. Even Jay Easton, who specializes in giant saxophones http://www.jayeaston.com/Saxophonist_resources/saxResources_equipment.html, has trouble playing his Orsi in tune.

The wave of the low sax future is probably Eppelsheim's narrow-bore tubax. Loss of volume is made up for by economy of breath, fast response and better intonation.
