You’re Not Alone"},"content":{"rendered":"

A couple of days ago I noticed a really interesting sarrusophone on eBay. It was made by Boosey & Co., and was in quite remarkable shape. It still had its original bocal and case. Given that this horn was more than likely over 100 years old, I thought this was a remarkable treasure. (The bocal especially is astounding, because these are made of very thin metal, and tend to get bent and damaged very easily.)<\/p>\n

The seller is a man\/woman of few words, and describes this vintage beauty like this:<\/p>\n

Very beautiful sarrusophone by Boosey # 20.### very good condition, with the original crook ,and original box……………<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Although this horn’s voicing isn’t specified, I’m taking an educated guess here that this is an Eb contrabass.<\/p>\n

I first noticed this lovely vintage sarrus on Thursday. It had a Buy It Now price of $7,500 on it, and the seller was running a 30 day auction. At the time there were 2 offers on the horn already, and it had just hit eBay an hour or so earlier.<\/p>\n

On Friday I went back to check on the sarrus, and I was surprised to see that the horn had already sold. The seller had accepted an offer of $6,500. Someone just got themselves a lovely, rare, vintage horn for their collection. Are you wishing that it had been you? Was it you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
