Hi Sande,

A few quick questions: can you tell who made the sarrusophone?  Any
manufacturer's info at all (usually there is a trademark on the bell,
on the side facing the player)?  Is that the case for the horn
standing behind the chair in the pictures?  And finally, is there a
bocal/crook for it?

I wonder what Oberloh  would charge to restore it...

Thanks,

Grant

Subject: [CB] Bass dulzian

I am interested in buying a bass dulzian but due to the lack of players not
only in my state, but in the entire country the oppurtunities to try
different brands has never eventuated. I am currently  borrowing a Meock
instrument that has several problems. Could anyone suggest a good brand???

Thanks, Brock.

I can find no trade mark on this horn.  I remember there being one, must be
going senile.  What I remember was a small one, just a one word name, but I
can't find anything now.  The case below the horn is an old Selmer triple
case (alto sax, fl. &cl.), just a handing resting place for the horn during
the picture.  I guess I should have put a cloth down while taking the
picture.  No bocal.

Pleae allow me to indulge a pet peeve: the English word for this instrument
is curtal. Dulzian (or dulcian) is German.

Actually, I was wondering about the case standing up *behind* the
sarrusophone.  Looks like it could be a sarrusophone case or a
trombone case.

Could the trademark have been Conn?

Thanks,

Grant
