   I played contrabassoon when my school (the
University of Toledo) played Grainger's Colonial song
and printed on the back of my part was an optional Eb
contrabass sarrusophone part.

    The Schuller concerto actually has an orchestral contrabassoon, so the
last movement has a duet between the solo contra and the orchestral contra!

Subject: [CB] The Silophone

Today on the Piporg-L list, Charlie Lester posted a message titled,
<A new contender for the "World's Largest Musical Instrument" ??>
 His message is available in the Piporg-L archives at:

The "Silophone" is a grain silo in Montreal that's been converted into what
amounts to a gargantuan organ pipe.  This enormous natural echo chamber has
its own website:

http://www.silophone.net/eng/play.html

A musician can log on and *play* this monstrous pipe in RealAudio!  De
profundis lacu, anyone?

Cheers--
Lelia

Finally got around to uploading a couple of sound clips: if you sort
the sound file list at the silophone by date (just clidk on "date'),
there are a few appropriate contrabass sound files.  Contrabass
clarinet, contrabass sarrusophone (CBCL and CB Sarr are particularly
loud), and try Papermoon...

Enjoy!
