Description

HISTORICAL AUTHENTICITY
Jean-Baptiste ARBAN wrote his “Complete Conservatory Method for Trumpet, Cornet and Saxhorn” over a century ago.
The bass saxhorn is the descendent of a long tradition of French instrument manufacture that started in the nineteenth century with the invention of the valve.
Famous orchestral melodies from the symphonic repertoire such as those in Modest Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition” orchestrated
by Maurice Ravel, Richard Strauss’s “Don Quixote” or Gustav Mahler’s 7th symphony, often played on the euphonium or tuba, were imagined and composed for the brighter and inimitable sound of the bass saxhorn.
The ELITE 366 model, developed by the great French military bands, has a compensating system valveblock with the same fingering as a modern euphonium plus a trigger on the main tuning slide for ease of play.

- Key: Bb
- Compensating valveblock (fingering identical to euphonium)
- Handmade bell in yellow brass
- Bell diameter: 280 mm (11.02")
- Conical bore: 15 < 16 mm (.590 < .630")
- Raised leadpipe
- Main tuning slide trigger
- Instrument body can be entirely dismantled
