I've been browsing through (and pricing and ordering) the catalog of works
by Terje Lerstad available through the Norwegian Music Information Centre.
There are a few that may be of particular interest:

*Opus 28: TRIOSONATE for "sykkelpumpe, salmesykkel og o*** b***,
samt meg selv ved HB-apparatet".  A 15' work scored for subbass
recorder,octocontrabass clarinet, 2 bongos, and harmonium. The clarinet and
harmonium serve as continuo parts, with the subbass recorder taking the solo role.
*Opus 35: Polyphemo's Song.  This is a 4' solo for contrabassoon (Score: NOK 30)
*Opus 98: Scherzo, Fantasy & Fugue.  This is a 6' duet for contrabassoon and
contrabass clarinet.  (Score: NOK 30)

Hi Rich,

The composer himself is probably the best one to answer that: I'll
have to wait until the scores arrive.  My impression is that they'll
be fairly contemporary....

Subject: [CB] Eb contra reeds

I have a supply of Selmer Omega Eb contrabass clarinet reeds for sale.  The
reeds are #2 1/2 (about equivalent to a Vandoren #3).  The reeds are in
sealed boxes of 12 each.  These reeds are about 20 years old.  I'm asking
$40 dollars U.S. for each box - that's about $3/reed, plus $4 to pack and
ship them from Canada.

If interested, please e-mail me.  I have 5 boxes available, and I may be
able to get more.
