Sarrusophone Soundfont?
Morning/Afternoon, hope you're all doing well.
I'm curious if there is a Sarrusophone soundfont. It seems like the interest for Sarruses are rising, so I was wondering if there is a Sarrusophone soundfont so I can compose for such a weird, but lovely instrument.
Thanks, take care and best wishes!

!!!! I had to look it up! Looks like an intellectual-property protection device to make sure nobody ever plays your music :) Can't say I've ever seen one, but, thanks for teaching me something new; I found some yt's; it's not that radical a sound.

It's an interesting instrument, but that's why you mark it "ad lib.". Like in Children's March and Molly on the Shore by Grainger. Most of the time it's parts are played on either a Contrabassoon or rarely, a Contrabass Sax.

It interesting that a contrabass sax would be used rather than a bass sax since it would cover the range and is far more common than the contrabass. I suppose it's because the contrabass is an Eb instrument and transposition from C in Bass clef is much easier than on the Bb bass sax.
