The first instrument of this sort was designed by Parisian instrument maker Adolphe Sax. [1] He built a bourdon saxhorn in 52′ E♭ and exhibited it at the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1867 , although there is evidence that it was in fact built some years earlier, and possibly appeared at the 1851 Great Exhibition in London .

The subcontrabass flute is a member of the Western concert flute family. With the length of tubing ranging from 4.6 metres (15 ft) (when in G) to 5.5 metres (18 ft) long (when in C), it is the second largest instrument of the family after the hyperbass flute .

Including and derived from the instruments built by H.F. Meyer from 1850 to the late 1890s, it could have up to 12 keys and was built with head joints of either metal-lined ivory or wood.

Although described in Adolphe Sax's patent in 1846, a practical, playable subcontrabass saxophone did not exist until the 21st century. [2] An oversized saxophone that might have qualified was built as a prop circa 1965; it could produce tones, but its non-functional keywork required assistants to manually open and close the pads, and it was reportedly incapable of playing a simple scale.
The tubax is a modified contrabass saxophone developed in 1999 by the German instrument maker Benedikt Eppelsheim.Although it has the same fingering as the saxophone, Eppelsheim's design reduces the amount of expansion of its conical bore in relation to the length of tubing, resulting in a smaller volume of resonant air column.
