Hey Andrew,

The subcontrabass saxophone does indeed exist -- it's sometimes also called the "tubax". It is a relatively new and extremely rare instrument.

An "Electric Piano" I think technically has to have reeds and hammers, or even strings like those stubby little grands made by Yamaha.


Well the terminology may have changed, but back in pre-Moog times there were undoubted "electric pianos" that produced their sound by purely electronic means. Significantly, these were considered inferior to the electroacoustic kind.

And BTW, does the subcontrabass saxophone even exist? As an actual instrument?
