Description
Conn Contrabass Eb L.P. Model V278 sarrusaphone. This is a very rare Contrabass sarrosophone that comes from the saxophone family. Pat. Date Dec. 8, 1914. It is my understanding that Conn only made approximately 200 of these between 1914 - 1921. I have solid information that this horn was played in a Municipal Band in Waterloo, Iowa by its original owner until his death in the 1930's. At that time it was passed down through the family until the early 40's. It then was stored in the attic of a family member where it laid for almost 60 years until his estate was settled. Is in its original vintage condition as the day it was stored away in the attic. Will need pads and checked over. Has two very small shallow dents and a couple small dings. Has one wear spot in the silver plating which can be seen in the pictures. This horn is original and complete. Has the nice gold wash to the inner bell. Comes with the Bocal, original music lyre and has the old original double reed in the case (but is brittle and unuseable). Has the original double hook neckstrap and the original double handle Conn case which is in good condition but shows wear (all latches and hinges work fine). This Contrabass stands 4' tall. Due to International shipping and size restrictions International bidders should email me before bidding. Winning bidder pays actual shipping and insurance cost. Thanks and good luck...

/ Description / /
A good silverplated Tenor Sarrusophone bearing the original stamp: Buffet Crampon & Cie. à Paris, Evette & Schaeffer, Ance Mon Buffet Crampon & Cie, 18 & 20 Passage du Gd Cerf, Paris, 149, made in France. Also stamped with the seller's name: Carl Fischer New York. Good original condition with the usual wear, some scratches and tiny dents, restored to playing condition some years ago. Comes with original case and original reedbox including some old reeds. Total length 71.5 cm or 28 1/4 inches.
"Evette & Schaeffer (earlier Buffet-Crampon) used the occasion of the Exposition Universelle de Paris of 1900 to reintroduce the complete sarrusophone family. The key positions had been made completely identical to those of the saxophone. The Sarrusophones à méchanisme perfectionné Système Evette & Schaeffer are advertised in the 1907 catalog at about the same prices as the best saxophones of the same register; nevertheless, from 1919 to 1923 only forty-nine sarrusophones were manufactured, of which twentytwo were contrabasses in E-flat. Between 1920 and 1930, French manufacturers stopped producing the sarrusophone." (Gunther Joppig)
