Robert Howe is selling his Couesnon Eb contrabass sarrusophone,
amongst other things, to finance a contrabassoon (amongst other
things). It is not lacquered, dates to approximately 1923, but
unfortunately lacks a bocal. However, I think Robert knows of
someone capable of fabricating a new bocal (and there's always
Oberloh,
http://www.oberloh.com). He is asking only $2500, which
sounds like a steal, even without the bocal. Contact
