Do you need, or might you want, a single reed mouthpiece for your contra sarrusophone?  Paul Coats successfully made some last year and is willing to make more but needs at least 8 orders to do a "production run".

The mouthpiece will be a copy of an original single reed sarrusophone mouthpiece and made by modifying an alto sax piece.  The facing will be lengthened, a technique Paul has used for adapting baritone sax mouthpieces to work well for bass saxes.   The bocal hole will be off center, just like the original Conn and will be reamed to match a Conn bocal unless otherwise requested.  My Conn bocal has a diameter near the rip of 0.266" and 0.344 inch measured at a distance of 1.696" further up.  This works out to a taper of  0.0459" per inch of bocal.  Should you require a different taper,  Paul will supply it with a straight 15/64" hole that you can ream or have reamed yourself to fit your instrument.

The price of these mouthpieces would be $100.00 each if he can get 8 orders.  If you would like to buy one, contact Paul at tenorman1952@... and tell him you want one (or two).
