While looking up the answer to another question off-line, I came
across a reference to the Paul Whiteman Orchestra. According to G.
Joppig, the PWO (and Bechet) began experimenting with sarrusophones
at about the time the French makers stopped making new instruments,
in the early 1920's. Is anyone familiar with the Paul Whiteman
Orchestra and its output? Can anyone point to a particular
recording?

Thanks,

Grant
