Subject: [CB] Return of the Sarrusophone

Last Saturday was the annual San Jose Saxophone Christmas, this year
attended by 173 saxophone (and one sarrusophone) players.  One curved
Eb sopranino, 3 basses, my contrabass sarrusophone, and the rest
sopranos, altos, tenors, and baris.  A few of the works (I played
from a bari part) end with a nice low (written) Bb: enough to invoke
that contrabassoon feeling, of playing the sole pedal for an entire
ensemble, with the next nearest note an octave above.

Ahhhhh.....
