WHAT DOES SARRUSOPHONE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Sarrusophone

The sarrusophone is a family of transposing musical instruments patented and placed into production by Pierre-Louis Gautrot in 1856. It was named after the French bandmaster Pierre-Auguste Sarrus who is credited with the concept of the instrument, though it is not clear whether Sarrus benefited financially from this association. The instrument was intended to serve as a replacement in wind bands for the oboe and bassoon which, at that time, lacked the carrying power required for outdoor band music.

Definition of sarrusophone in the English dictionary

The definition of sarrusophone in the dictionary is a wind instrument resembling the oboe but made of brass.
