History of Salusophone
The salusophone is a musical instrument that originated in France. It is a woodwind instrument and a double-reed instrument, first manufactured by French instrument maker Pierre-Louis Gautrot in 1856. The instrument was named after the French bandmaster Pierre-Auguste Salus. This instrument was originally intended for French military bands, and was used as an alternative to the oboe and bassoon, which at the time lacked the carrying power needed for outdoor marching music. Nine types of pipes were created, ranging from the sopranino to three types of contrabass, but in modern orchestras they are often used in the role of contrabassoon. It was often used in French orchestras in the first half of the 20th century, but as it is basically replaced with the contrabassoon, it is extremely rare and rarely used.
Characteristics of Salusophone
The salusophone sounds similar to a contrabassoon. However, the salusophone is loud because it produces a powerful and dynamic sound at a high volume. The fingering mechanism is simple. There are three thumb keys on the left hand and one on the right hand. The salusophone is a very large musical instrument that a person must somehow hold while playing, so it is somewhat heavy. The salusophone has a unique shape that resembles an elongated brass bass instrument, and a hand rest is attached to the bottom of the instrument to support the instrument. One of the characteristics of the salusophone is that it is rarely used in orchestras, so it is an instrument that rarely appears.
