Editing Sarrusophone (section)

===Concert band===
In the concert band literature, [[Percy Grainger]] used the EE♭ contrabass in the original scoring of his piece "[[Children's March: Over the Hills and Far Away]]". In early 20th century Italian band scores, parts for the B♭ tenor, E♭ baritone, and B♭ bass sarrusophones as well as the contrabass are common. It appears that higher members of the sarrusophone family were not as popular as the lower members, with the sopranino in E♭ along with its distant cousin, the high E♭ [[oboe]], being particularly rare. For the most part, the use of the sarrusophone was primarily in France, Italy and Spain. During or after [[World War I]], US Military personnel noted the use of the contrabass sarrusophone in French military bands and thereafter, commissioned the U.S. firm [[C. G. Conn]] to manufacture the EE♭ contrabass for use in U.S. military bands beginning in approximately 1921, as per Conn's advertising of the time. The instrument was offered for sale to the general public as well, but production appears to have ceased in the 1930s. Conns as late as 1936 are known to exist. Beginning in 1921, the [[John Philip Sousa]] band used the Conn sarrusophone for an unknown period of time. In 1908 when [[Sir Thomas Beecham]] wished to perform the work "[[Apollo and the Seaman]]" by the British composer [[Josef Holbrooke]] (who had included parts for several sizes of sarrusophones), the sarrusophone parts had to be played by performers brought over from France.{{Citation needed|date=May 2014}} [[Ignacy Jan Paderewski|Paderewski]] included three E♭ contrabass sarrusophones in his [[Symphony in B minor (Paderewski)|Symphony in B Minor]] ("Polonia").

[[Frank Zappa]] used the E♭ contrabass sarrusophone in his scores for "Think It Over", "Big Swifty", "Ulterior Motive", "The Adventures of Greggery Peccary", "For Calvin", "Waka/Jawaka", and many others.  These pieces can be found on his albums "[[Waka/Jawaka]]", "[[The Grand Wazoo]]", & "Zappa/Wazoo".  The sarrusophone was played by Earl Dumler. In 2013, Franklin Stover composed a Concerto Breve for E♭ contrabass sarrusophone and winds.{{Citation needed|date=May 2014}}
