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?

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

Has anyone seen this Sarrusophone that is on Ebay now?  It is coming

Although similar, the tooling for a sarrusophone would be different
than for a saxophone.  Since the instrument is larger (several times
the length of a straightened C-Melody) it would also be quite
expensive.  There is also a lot of trial and error  work to get a new
instrument working and in tune and the tooling must be changed as
problems are corrected. (note the announcement that the "intonation"
problem of the Aquilasax has been corrected).

Shoud you want a new sarrusophone Orsi will make one for you, and
probably make slight keywork modifications if you request them, since
it is a custom instrument. They already have the tooling and just
need to dust it off when they get your order.

This is purely a "what if" sort of question, but the C melody saxes
being produced in China for Aquilasax made me wonder about something:

Is there any fundamental reason (such as completely different tooling,
or parts of an unfamiliar nature) why a factory that can produce a
custom-ordered saxophone would be unable to produce sarrusophones? If
they can, how large a production run does it take to make it a
practical idea? Aquilasax seems to be able to make it work with an
initial order of 100 C melody saxes, but oddball and un-saxophonelike
pieces like bocals might push up the initial tooling costs and require
a larger order.

To answer the inevitable question -- no, I most certainly do not have
the $50k or so it would require to get such an operation under way. It
just struck me as possible to do a new production run, though perhaps
not practical. Also it would at least offer the opportunity to
implement "modern" niceties in the keywork such as 1-and-1 Bb, and the
fork F#.

Hello all,

My name is David Vesel, and I produce Internet radio programs.  My
current show is Spellbound, a brief program of music for theremin, which
has been running for 2 1/2 years now.

I'm doing research for a new program to begin in the fall or winter
called Different Drummers: Rare Instruments and Unusual Music.  I'm
looking for leads on clearable recordings featuring the sarrusophone.
Perhaps some of you record?  If so, I'd like to hear from you.

Please visit the web site for the upcoming program at
http://diffdrum.purplenote.com and/or e-mail me at davidv@...
.  I don't need free CDs, though I do ask for digital music files since
my programs are non-commercial.  I buy the vast majority of what I play
on Spellbound, but my budget is still limited, and not everyone has a CD
to buy. :-)  But you'll get a link back on the artist page for your
worries and if you have a CD or CD-R you'll be able to sell it through
the accompanying Purple Note Store, where I will start making music from
my programs available on Halloween, October 31.

Hope this finds you well, and I'll be watching the list for ideas and leads.

David V

Try copying and pasting the address into your browser, then using
the "backspace" key to delete the comma or the period at the end,
which the yahoo mail client has accidentally included as part of the
address.

For future reference, when including a web address in an email,
always leave plenty of space around it (above, below, in front, and
behind) so that it works and is clickable. Don't add periods, commas,
colons or semicolons, etc. to the end or the address won't work.

Sometimes, with a very long address that "wraps around" or, in other
words, has to use more than one line, the Yahoo system will only make
the first line clickable, and thusly the link is "bad" when clicked
on. For those, just highlight each line and then paste them into the
browser window so you have the complete address... then hit "enter"
and you're there! Once you're on the page, you can always bookmark it
for reference later.

so, the correct links are:

http://www.contrabass.com/2007/Sarrusophone1.jpg

http://www.contrabass.com/2007/Sarrussophone2.jpg

Grant,

I've been wanting to sell my Conn EEb contrabass sarrusophone ever
since I got my Tubax.  Ordinarily, I would go the ebay route but I'd
rather not have to ship anything that big.

Earlier this year I sold one of my three(!) bass saxes by posting a
notice on the Bass Sax Co-op site.  I sold it to another Bass Sax
forum member  who was vacationing in Florida and he picked up the
instrument in person.  It worked out perfectly for everyone involved.
  I'd like to try to do the same with my Sarrusophone on your
contrabass site, if that is permissible.

My Conn is one of the Sarrusophones made for the army in the 1920s,
and it is marked USQMC (or G) for United States Quarter Master Corps
(or General).  It was probably originally bare brass but it was
polished and lacquered later.  The lacquer is about 75%, and the horn
looks pretty good.

There are quite a few small dents but nothing really bad.  The
mechanism is a bit sloppy in places, and the bocal has some unsightly
repairs.  However, there are no missing parts, everything works, and
it plays right now.

The good stuff is it comes with an original Conn single reed
Sarrusophone mouthpiece in exceedingly good condition that works very
well, using alto sax reeds.  It also comes with a real contrabass
sarrusophone reed which is old but completely intact to use as a
model.  The reed actually still plays.  I'm also including a
contrabass bassoon reed and an old fingering chart for this horn.  The
case is original, very dingy, but structurally sound and the hardware
works.

I've been watching sarrusophone sales for a few years now, and I think
market value for my horn is $5,000+ but I'll take $4,000 if I don't
have to ship it.  I'd rather not sell for less than that.

I'm attaching some photos of the sarrusophone.  I'll be taking more
photos as soon as possible, and I'll be glad to specifically
photograph any part of the horn anyone might want to see.

I live near Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.  Thanks, Randy Emerick (saxtek at
A O L dot com).
=========================================================

I've uploaded the pictures to:

Enjoy!

Hello sarrusofans!  If any of you happen to be travelling to New
England this summer, you can see me playing my Triebert Eb baritone
sarrusophone with the Lexington Bicentennial Band on Tuesday nights in
Lexington from June 26th through August 21st, and the Concord Band at
the Fruitlands Museums in Harvard on Thursday nights from June 21st to
July 26th.  For times and directions, visit www.lexbicband.org and

Hi all,

I was just contacted by someone in Buenos Aires, who has an Eb
contrabass sarruosphone for sale. I've posted his pictures at
http://www.contrabass.com/2007/serrusofono-1.jpg and
http://www.contrabass.com/2007/serrusofono-5.jpg.

The owner is Enrique Estigarribia. If you're seriously interested in
the horn, let me know and I'll send you his email address. His email
states:
"We have a contrabass sarrusophone for sale. It appears to have been
made after the Gautrot model, as it is 105cm long. It says in the bore
"Ditta Cessare Ruggiero Napoli". Would you or someone you know be
interested in it? I can send you more pictures."

At this point, I do not have any further information.

Enjoy!

Grant

Hi Jim,

If previous sales of sarrusophones and saxes on eBay are any
indication, the larger horns (bass and contrabass) horns generally
bring higher prices than higher pitched ones.  The Tenor sarrusophone
referenced by Grant is actually a second posting.  It failed to bring
in any bids on the first try.  Can you identify the key and range of
your Rothophone?

Jack

Got it.  :-]

Hi Bob,

Still need to set Messages to moderate new users - apparently only the
owner can do this, as I don't have a clickable link when I go into
"management" for that.

If you go into "Management", and click "messages", you should get a
page that has a drop-down menu for moderation, where you can pick "new
users" (or words to that effect). Once that is done, then only us
moderators will see the spam attempted by new users.

Thanks,

Grant

interface, click Manage, then Members. Find my name (I'm probably
listed as "contrabs"), and click the "edit membership" link. From there
I think you can change me to a moderator.

I've done this.  I'll let you take care of the rest of the fixin's
until my status changes.  (Email me directly if I've missed something.)

Merging the groups sounds like a very good idea, given the combined traffic.

Or be members of both.  :-]

Actually I've been banning anyone who posts spam as soon as I catch
it (as well as deleting said spam from the queue (though Jessica's
recent comeback to "sexyjessica" was too fun to let languish).  I'm
not as active as I'd like to be because I currently have no Internet
access from home and have to do the work from a library.

I've been considering moderating new subscribers, though.  It'd be an
improvement over moderating posts (with my sparse attendance).

(I've also been considering giving Grant co-ownership... maybe we
should just merge the two lists.)

Do all of the "Friendly Bikers" play sarrusophones?  If so, are they all
contrabass (the sarrusophones, not the bikers)?

Hi all,

There is a Buffet tenor sarrusophone on eBay right now,
(http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230049077336),
unfortunately with a US$8K "buy it now" price.

Enjoy!

Grant

I sold that sarrusophone to James Carter about seven years ago...it is a
Buffet!
-S.
