Hello Steve,

I also was unsuccessful in finding a comfortable strap arrangement for my Conn contrabass.  I made a stand and adapted it to a throne base.  I no longer have the instrument, but the stand is still here in the corner.  As you can see, the stand is completely adjustable for any size musician.

Subject: [Sarrusophone] Playing harness for a Contrabass Sarrusophone?

Curious what players are finding effective as playing harness for their Contrabass Sarrusophone?

Been trying different straps & harness, including combinations, without arriving at an acceptable setup.

The Contrabass is a Conn with the two neckstrap rings.

Thoughts, recommendations & pictures greatly appreciated!

Hello everyone - the summer band concert season is upon us, which means my
Triebert Eb baritone sarrusophone will be getting plenty of use.  Here are a
couple of links to check out if you'd like to hear it in performance:

Concord Band: http://concordband.org/enotes/eNotes4_2009.html

Lexington Bicentennial Band: http://www.lexbicband.org/schedule/summer_09.html

Hi Folks,

Just uploaded a new album with photos of a reed contrabass.

If anyone wants to know more about this horn just drop me a message.

Gilberto

I just create a new photo album about the contrabass CC Benedikt
Eppelsheim made last year for an english bassoon player

Sarrusophonistic Yours,
JJP

I found here in France a sarrusophone contrabass reeds maker0,
Neuranter (www.neuranter.fr) I bought from them a good working reed at
a raisonable price (39 USD)

Hi all,

When I visited Benedikt last year, he was not very interested in
making sarrusophones (or other double reeds). He did make the CC
contra, and just confirmed that he will be making an Eb bari (to low
G, to cover the entire bassoon range), but he told me he has no plans
to manufacture these instruments. He will make them custom, to order,
for one willing to pay the price of such an instrument. From what I've
seen of his design and workmanship, I'm sure any such instrument would
be well worth the price.

Hi,

My name is Gilberto (44 yrs), I am originaly from Curitiba in Brazil, I
have lived in Milan, Italy for the past twenty years.

I play (I try...) the baritone, bass and contrabass saxophones and I
collaborate with J'Elle Stainer Extreme Saxophones factory from Brazil
(wwww.below65-4hz.com).

My main business activity is International Freight Forwarding but my
real passion is jazz, vintage instruments and saxophone making.

I have a collection of saxes including curved sopranino, c-melody,
Grafton, Selmer MK VI's alto, tenor (Balanced Action), baritone and
bass, slide-sax (Swanee and "Ivophone" made by J'Elle Stainer), J'Elle
Stainer low A bass, contrabass and other odd instruments, cd's,
articles, sheet music, photos...

I am currently looking for a contrabass sarrusophone, I have a few
recordings of Roscoe Mitchell playing the sarrusophone and I would like
to know more about these horns.

Thanks for letting me join this group.

Gilberto

Hi everybody,

I have just joined this Group and I still do not have a sarru, so if
anyone is willing to sell a contrabass one please let me know.

thanks

Hi! Happy sarrusophones fans
I am Jean-Jacques Pag�s, male , 56 years old, living near Paris France,
up to now I was playing saxophones as a hobby in various music bands,
I have a particuliar trend towards the big sounds, I regularly play
baritone saxophone and bass saxophone (I owne 1x Selmer SA80II siver
plated from 1993 and a Conn 1924 siver plated+gold bell)
I recently (last week) bought a CC contrabass Sarrusophone made in
1889 by Couesnon (successor of Gautrot, the inventor of Sarrusophone),
tjis instrument is nickel plated and in good playing condition, I
intend to have for him a good overhaul and maybe to have it sivet
plated
in the group is there other french players?
is there any CC contrabass players?

Dear everyone,

I occasionally get bizarre bassoon-related spam to my personal email
address. One arrived today which had a link to:
<http://doublereed.club.fr/bassoons/bassoons.html>. The page has quite a
few pictures of sarrusophones towards the bottom (and click on the
photos for more pictures). Not sure how well known this site is to
double-reed players (I'm still as saxophonist with a sarrusophone on my
"buy when rich" list!) or how legitimate those photos are, but it
diverted my attention for a few minutes!

Best wishes,

Jacob

Yes, a bocal could be made.  The trick is finding someone to do it
and obtaining accurate measurements from an existing Conn.  Probably
the best place to check are bassoon forums.  A question  there might
get some leads.

Would it be possible to have a bocal made as the Seller thinks?  Any
estimates on what that would take if it could be done?

Hello fellow sarrusofans - I've been invited to exhibit my Tribert Eb
baritone sarrusophone by the Charles River Museum of Industry as part
of their "Innovations of Yesteryear" exhibit on Saturday, September
13th at Landry Park in Waltham, MA.  If any of you happen to be in the
New England area then, I invite you to stop by.  If you'd like to be
part of the show yourself, I will post a copy of the .pdf file of the
event flyer in the "Files" section of this group.  Hope to see you there!

    ---Nat Hefferman

Hi all,

Anyone looking for sarrusophones can currently find *two* on ebay:

Gautrot alto:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230252860082

Buffet Crampon tenor:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230252848251

Fortunately, these were not posted by the Beijing Bandit, but are
being sold by Music Treasures, who have long had an antique musical
instrument business (not that I have had any transactions with them).
Asking prices for the horns are US$12K and US$10K, respectively.

Enjoy!

Grant

Item #250238741459 is listed as a bari sax.  There do not seem to be any
sarrusophones listed presently on Ebay.  Do you have another item number
for a sarrusophone?

from China - are they making Sarrusophones in China now?
