Jaws theme on the Octobasse

The Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix hosts one of 4 known existing intact Octobass instruments. In this video, some local music professionals have fun by playing the theme from "Jaws." The sound produced by the octobass is a full octave lower than bass, so highly sensitive microphones had to be calibrated in order to hear the instrument's music. In this video, the audio has been amplified. Originally produced for the Musical Instrument Museum. Produced by Frank McGough and Joshua Sawicki.
