Resolution isn't very good, is it?  I'll check the original photograph when
I get home, but I think the instruments are (from left to right):

The contrabassoon and mystery instrument also appear at the left edge of assort2.jpg.

Many of the model instruments are so tarnished that it is difficult to
distinguish between finished wood and tarnished metal at the image
resolution.  However, based on the size of the bell and the width of the
horn (which appears to be turned slightly sideways), I'd guess Bb bass
sarrusophone.
