Standing more than 5-1/2 feet high (excluding the bottom support post), this particular contra-bassophon was invented and built by one William G. Schultze of New York, about 1861. Made of aspen/cottonwood/poplar, with one section of birch, the large instrument features 17 nickel-plated keys. Little is known about the maker who is not listed in New York City directories until 1880. Perhaps Schultze brought this instrument to New York from Germany, where the instrument type was invented in 1849 by Heinrich J. Haseneir of Coblenz, Germany. Only a few contra-bassophons survive to our day, including two others by Haseneier (preserved in Leipzig and Oxford) and one by Geipel of Breslau, in the Stearns Collection at the University of Michigan. Visitors to the NMM in Vermillion, South Dakota, can see this amazing instrument on display in the Graese Gallery. #contrabassoon #woodwind
