Benedikt Eppelsheim will probably make you one, just be prepared to pay $100,000+

Only about 3 were made, and they're all in museums. Sorry about that. One of them stood in the Leblanc offices in Paris for many years, and they let anyone take a blast, but no more.

I think only 1 octo-contra was made, and it's also in a museum.

The YouTube performances were a fluke, when Leblanc let them be played that one time. I doubt that they'll reappear any time soon.

Interesting video of this trio.

It's a pity the bloke on spoons didn't get his head in the frame!
