I have always appreciated your videos and your perspective on unique instruments. I wish sarrusophones would have survived to make it into the modern wind band today.
Me adding a quarte to the Symphony will either confirm our suspicions that they're worthy instruments or quash all hope that they're needed. Only one way to find out.
As someone whose main instruments for years were oboe and baritone sax, I really want to get my hands on a sarrusophone at some point! I really wish they were easier to find.
I still find it a little weird that on the discord server, the Double Reed parts were snapped up faster than the Brass Parts. Hell, I think you found a Heckelphone before you got the first Contrabass Tuba?
The limit isn't perhaps 32,767 measures, is it? That's 2^15-1, the maximum that can be held as an integer in two bytes of computer memory. That would be quite pathetic.
Do you think that maybe a single sarrusophone part [Probably Bass] in a more standard size-symphony would be a more feasible thing to do if you’re newer to composition?

Switch to Dorico. Much more functional than Finale.

As someone who wrote a bunch of music on Finale, it's one of the worst pieces of technology I have ever used.

And a sopranino oboe and contrabass sax, before a tuba.
I imagine hechelphone players have a bit less work available than tuba players
@@octopussmasher2694 You'd be surprised. They're both fairly busy parts

Grainger did just that in some of his earlier band works (Eb Contra).
