The C.G. Conn 16V Contrabass Sarrusophone in EEb is a rare low double-reed instrument built with a metal body and keyed woodwind-style mechanism, designed to provide contrabass range and projection in wind ensembles, military bands, and specialty orchestral settings. As an overhauled historic Conn instrument, this 16V is intended for advanced players, collectors, and institutions seeking a playable example of a scarce contrabass sarrusophone rather than a purely display-focused instrument.
