After looking at the photo more carefully, I see that the instrument is
actually a reed contrabass (http://www.contrabass.com/pages/anche.html),
NOT a sarrusophone. You can tell by (a) the fact that there are only two
keys for LH4, (b) no alternate keys for RH1 (the Bb, C, and high D keys),
and (c) the width of the bell throat. A look at the back of the
instrument, or the bocal, would also be definitive.

Sorry if I got anyone's hopes up...
