I'm no expert or anything, but I was reading a book about Adolphe Sax and
twice in the book the subcontrabass sax came up.  One time, it was talking
about, I think, exactly what you were talking about, which was  that they
took this saxophone to world expositions.  It said that you had to stand on
a four step ladder to reach the mouthpiece.

I also was talking to the guy who was practically the brains behind the LA
Sax contrabass sax.  He said that he has a picture of him standing next to
the bell of the subcontrabass sax.  I don't know if if was just a prototype
like I belive Paul Cohen said, but it could have been real.

Well, here are the results:
 


I'll delete the eGroups list in a few minutes.  The "original" list
(contrabass@contrabass.com) is still in operation, and you can go
back to/continue using that address.  In the meantime, does anyone
have other suggestions?  I've heard coollist.com has frequent service
outages, but that Topica is relatively reliable.  Anyone have
comments/objections?

Thanks,

Grant

How about a web-based message board?  I find that they are fairly convenient to use; there's no subscription and one need furnish one's email address only when an email response is solicited.  Keeps the inbox clutter down too.

Whatcha think?

No! Mailing lists are easier to keep alive. With message boards, people get
busy, and eventually it'll take a dive and never have any worthwhile activity
in it.
