Nuclear Whales Saxophone Orchestra
The Nuclear Whales Saxophone Orchestra were a group of six American saxophonists who played as a saxophone ensemble in recordings and live performance.
They were based in Santa Cruz, California.
The group was notable for its contrabass saxophone, which is 203 centimetres tall with a 43- centimetre- diameter bell.
It is a very low- pitched instrument that is very rarely heard.
The instrument, played by the group's leader and founder Don Stevens, was formerly owned by Robert Seaton of Louisville, Kentucky, a noted civil engineer and amateur musician who played the sax on WHAS big band programs in the 1920s and 1930s.
Mr. Seaton found the contrabass saxophone in a shop in Newark, New Jersey in the 1960s.
Inscriptions on the instrument indicate that it was produced for the US Army Band in 1902.
Mr. Seaton sold the instrument to the Nuclear Whales sometime before his death in 1990.
On 29 September 2003 the band played a concert at the concert hall of the National Library, Beijing, China.
In 2002 they conceived the concept of 500 saxophone players from the US and abroad joining 500 Chinese saxophone players to play an event on the Great Wall of China.
However, this has yet to come off, and it appears that the group has disbanded.

Tall Dwarfs
Tall Dwarfs are a New Zealand rock band formed in 1981 by Chris Knox and Alec Bathgate, who helped pioneer the lo- fi style of rock music.
The duo were former members of Toy Love.
The band lacked a drummer, but would use household objects and hand claps to act as percussion.
Both members can play guitar, with 12 strings and bass guitar often heard on their records.
Both can play organ as well, which has been utilised on some of their songs.
The Casiotone is frequently used too, especially on live concerts.
Their debut was the EP" Three Songs"( 1981), and for many years they released EPs only.
The album" Weeville"( 1990) was their first full- length album.
They did, however, release a number of full- length compilations of their EPs, like" Hello Cruel World" and" The Short and Sick of It".
In the liner notes to their album" 3 EPs"( 1994)( released as a single CD, or as three vinyl EPs collected in one box), they asked for listeners' rhythm tracks:
" Send us your idea of a great T.D. throb."
The responses came from many different countries and were used for the next album," Stumpy"( 1997).
This album was therefore officially credited to" International Tall Dwarfs."
Bands who have claimed to be influenced by the Tall Dwarfs include Elf Power, Neutral Milk Hotel and Olivia Tremor Control.
In 2005, they did a small number of concerts in the USA, playing with the Olivia Tremor Control.
Stumpy (album)
Stumpy is an album by New Zealand band Tall Dwarfs released in 1996.
The album is officially credited to the" International Tall Dwarfs", because sounds on cassette by 16 home tapers from around the globe were used to create the music, including CJA.
All songs were written by Bathgate and Knox.
