Here is a Hawkes Contrabasse A Anche, or the so-called reed contrabass. Plays in the same register as the contrabass sarrusophone but with a fingering system much more like that of the ophicleide. This instrument is complete and everything is in decent physical condition but it will need disassembly, cleaning, and a full repad to be playable.
Provenance: The Historic Collection. This is from the collection of a well-known researcher and historian of woodwinds who spent a lifetime collecting rare and unique instruments. We are privileged to offer items from this collection for sale.
As this instrument is historically interesting we have chosen to not do restoration work on it and leave that to the eventual owner.
