Reply-To: contrabass@contrabass.com

Someone posted this eBay link on the alt.music.saxophone newsgroup.  I've
never actually played one of these before, but I think it's probably a
bass....

 eBay item 297991056 (Ends Apr-07-00 22:49:47 PDT) - 5 valve Tuba? Baritone Saxa

Read the fine print.  It notes that it is an april fools auction, and
*NO* delivery was intended.

Also Schumitzig was responisble for a number of musical farces, including
horn etudes to be played on both sides of the double french horn at the
same time.

>From the picture it appears to be a sax neck mounted on the handle of an
old Hoover vacuum cleaner.
