Here's one you don't see every day. Ebay has a tubax for sale at
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1498237992.
Opening bid US$17K, "Buy it now" for US$19K. At least there's no
waiting ;-)
Not exactly a sarrusophone, but a *very* similar timbre, and
fingering updated to modern. The instrument has basically the bore
profile of an Eb contrabass sarrusophone, with a wider bocal (it
takes a bari sax mpc instead of a double reed). The USA Horn site
has a couple of video clips of Scott Robinson playing one.
Enjoy!
