<p>Here's a VERY RARE Botalli Bb Tenor Rothphone in fully overhauled condition.</p>
<p>The Rothphone is an intriguing piece of musical history. An offshoot of the sarrusophone, these are essentially a sarrusophone wrapped like as saxophone. They take a double reed, although single-reed adaptations do exist, and have a unique sound like an oboe crossed with a saxophone.</p>
<p>There are not that many of these around, and they are a unique horn for your arsenal. Fingering is nearly identical to the saxophone - the only substantial difference is that it has three manual octave keys instead of an automatic octave key. </p>
<p>Condition-wise, this instrument is excellent. It has just been completely overhauled by Carlo Sbisa and plays GREAT! Bocal is original Plays well in tune at A-440 with a very even scale. Takes a tenor Rothphone reed (of course) but you can make a bassoon reed work. Please feel free to email with any additional questions!</p>
<p>Provenance: The Historic Collection. This is from the collection of a well-known researcher and historian of woodwinds who spent a lifetime collecting rare and unique instruments. We are privileged to offer items from this collection for sale.</p>
