Was it a contrabass sarrusaphone, or really just a
metal contabassoon?

There are some great recordings of Gerald Oshita
playing sarrusaphones with Roscoe Mitchell and Thomas
Buckner.

Back on the Taragoto angle, Peter Brotzmann is another
player who uses that (plenty of recordings), though
certainly not traditional.
