Hello, dear Clarinet friends,

Looking for double reed, conical bore, instruments, you should also consider
the sarrussophone : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarrusophone .

Long time since forgotten, I am afraid, but it had raised some attention at
the end of 19th, beginning of 20th century.

Regards,
Christophe.
