Gautrot contra FS!   Message List

There is a Gautrot Eb contrabass sarrusophone for sale right now on
eBay
(http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1449633003).
Looks a lot like mine, but with a better finish. I'd guess that this
model was made later than mine (maybe 1925) as it has rollers on the
little finger keys (although for some reason it appears not to have
the RH1 high D alternate key). The seller is Music Treasures
(http://www.music-treasures.com), who often sell antique and 2nd hand
instruments (usually through eBay).

Looks like a great horn. There are currently 6 bids, and the bid is
only up to $1,026 (reserve not yet met). :-)

Best of luck!

Grant
