Very cool photo, Tom! It's not every day you see someone playing a sarrusophone. :excited:

Or a contrabass clarinet for that matter...

Now I think it's either a:

octocontrabass clarinet - right

contrabass clarinet - left

He had a huge array of reeds on stage!

Or could it be an EEEb "octocontralto" clarinet, only three of which were built.

I'm about 98% sure that's a contrabass clarinet that Anthony Braxton has in the pic. (And I'd be shocked to learn otherwise.)

I'll cover that last 2% for you. It's a contrabass clarinet (could be a contra-alto clar, but those are often referred to as contrabass as well).
