I am wondering what the chances are of finding a Eb Contrabass
Sarrusophone for anywhere near a reasonable price? I realize I may be
insulting any collectors and/or investors out there, but I am NOT
looking for an instrument as a collectible or investment, but rather
one I can actually play and not worry about an occasional dent or two.

Anyway, I would like to find an instrument - doesn't have to be perfect
or even decent looking, but I would like for it to be complete - I can
do any repairs, as long as all or most of the parts are there. Is this
a complete waste of time?

Thanks
