Which was named after its inventor. He had a metal (brass) the conical shape and 18 covered by round valves holes, located in strict accordance with the principles of the Bema.

Sarrusophones (especially bass), with their strong, husky sound, received application in the military brass orchestras, where soft гобойные and фаготные timbres is usually lost. In the Symphony orchestras of bass Sarrusophone sometimes replaces contrabassoon (mainly in the scores of French authors), but in General this instrument has not gone beyond the limits of France, where he is still actively used in the military brass music.
