Band Instrument Museum


Band Instruments: The Pine Bluff, Arkansas Musical Instrument Museum was a rather out-of-the-way place; there was only one
other party of visitors while we were there.


The proprietor. He also had a real old-time ice-cream parlor. There are three valves, which direct all the wind into one of the four mouths.

Regular-size and really tiny saxophones possibly soprano or maybe even smaller; most soprano saxes are straight, like a clarinet...
A natural horn; each crook, attached to the bell, puts the horn in a different key.

No idea how you'd hold this, or play it.



Herald keyed bugles, I guess...
