Subcontrabass tuba in C by Rudolph Sander, 1899, in the Musikantenland Museum. In 1956, British musician Gerard Hoffnung used a 32′ C subcontrabass tuba built in 1899 in the first of his comedic Hoffnung Music Festivals. [3] He commissioned a work for it, Variations on "Annie Laurie" by Gordon Jacob, which he performed in the festival.
The E♭ and B♭ tubax have the same lengths of tubing as the contrabass and subcontrabass saxophones respectively, but are much more compact. [4] They are built with a narrower conical bore, somewhere between a regular saxophone and a contrabass sarrusophone, and use comparatively smaller baritone or bass saxophone mouthpieces.

The subcontrabass saxophone is the largest of the family of saxophones that Adolphe Sax described in his 1846 patent. He called it the saxophone bourdon, named after the very low-pitched 32′ bourdon pedal stop on large pipe organs. Although Sax planned to build one, the first playable instrument was only built in 2010.

While the term most commonly refers to the double bass (which is the bass instrument in the orchestral string family, tuned lower than the cello), many other instruments in the contrabass register exist.

The first contrabass bugle was developed in the 1960s by Whaley Royce, a Canadian instrument manufacturer which produced bugles for many drum corps of that era. Matching all other competition bugles at the time, these early contrabass bugles were pitched in the key of GG, making them significantly larger than all tubas to that date, apart from the rare subcontrabass tuba.
