Many community bands have acquired such instruments or they borrow from the local large conservatory/university band. Many questions can be answered about all these instruments, and much diversion can be enjoyed, by looking at the www.contrabass.com site, where you can learn about curiosities (I don't want to say 'oddities') such as the TUBAX...

Subject: Re: [Finale] OT -- Sarrusophone (was Bass Trom)
All this talk about the cimbasso has made me bold to ask about another
rare
instrument.
The swing band I play with (The Peninsula Retired Mens Club Band) has a
'band tie' on which is an image of a Sarrusophone. Often people ask
about
the instrument. After the initial questions about "is there really
such a
thing?" and the literature for the instrument come the questions about
general availability and players.
So...when you are doing "Rhapsodie Espagnole" or "L'Heure Espagnole"
where
do the instruments come from and who plays them?
