Subject: Re: Sudrephone? Oui.
Grant, I thought you know everything. A Sudrephone is a brass
instrument made by Francois Sudre, invented 1892, with a cut out and a
flap near the leadpipe that creates a sympathetic vibration like a
kazoo. Arnold Myers has one. They made a whole family of them.   An old
issue of LARIGOT has illustrations.
My Bb bass Sarrusophone by Couesnon, 1921, arrived today. Gorgeous
condition. Someday I'll make a reed for it.
