Description: C.G. Conn Soprano Sarrusophone ONLY ONE KNOWN? EXCELLENT! PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Here is a C.G. Conn soprano sarrusophone. The sarrusophone was invented by the French company Gautrot in the 19th century as a double-reed instrument for outdoor band use. The most common member of the sarrusophone family is the contrabass, which can substitute for contrabassoon in a pinch. The soprano instrument, however, is almost unheard of. Playing in the same register as the oboe but pitched in Bb, these instruments have a unique timbre that could be described as a cross between an oboe and a saxophone. This instrument is branded 'Made For C.G. Conn' and while Conn manufactured several contrabass sarrusophones, this is the only known Conn-branded soprano sarrusophone. Now we have examined this instrument and do not think that Conn manufactured it - we think it was likely made by Couesnon for the Conn company. In any case, it is a very interesting piece and until now, an unknown bit of Conn history. This instrument is in terrific condition - the original silver shows little wear and it has never been seriously damaged. This instrument has just been completely overhauled in our shop and is ready to play! Please feel free to email with additional questions! We are proud to be an authorized C.G.
