~ contrabass saxophone ~

Since 2024 Brandsma has his own contrabass saxophone in his collection, but allready was happy to play on a borrowed one during his 2012 USA tour, where Johnny Peppercraft was so kind to lend his Orsi. 

The performance was recorded for TV and presented in the Bongo Boy Rock 'n Roll show! Although recorded in New Jersey, it was even aired in San Francisco!  


Many years before that, there also has been a short chance to try the horn owned by Daniel Kientzy. 


The horn Brandsma now has in his possession is a costum built Eppelsheim, with handpicked engravings and lacquer. In the engravings you can find Brandsma's name.
