| - | * [http://www.contrabass.com/ Contrabass Mania] -- A web site devoted (mainly) to below-the-bass-clef instruments, most of which are odd. Some non-contrabass odd instruments creep in here and there.

| - | * This looks like a great one for oddwinds fans: "DULLAT, Guenter: Fast vergessene Blasinstrumente aus zwei Jahrhunderten; Vom Albisiphon zur Zugtrompete". I say "looks like" because I've seen it but haven't read it -- I don't know German! [http://www.google.com/language_tools Google Language Tools] translates the title as "Nearly forgotten wind instruments from two centuries; From the Albisiphon to the course trumpet". Quoting from a couple of posts to the Contrabass mailing list (archived [http://www.contrabass.com/contra-archive/contra16.html here] and [http://www.contrabass.com/contra-archive/contra17.html here]), "This book has a photograph or patent drawing on every right-hand page with details, bibliography, notes, etc. on each left hand page" and it covers "Albisiphon; Antilopenhorn; Balladhorn; Baroxyton; Bassalt; Bassetthorn; Bass - Euphonium; Bathyphon; Bimbonifono; Bombardon; Buccin; Chromatic Basshorn; Clarina; Clavicor; Contrabassophon; Cornophon; Duetton; Echocornet; English Basshorn; Fagottserpent; English Flageolets; Giorgi Flutes; Glicibarifono; Harmonic Trumpet; Heckelphonklarinette; Helicon and Herculesophon; Hibernicon; Jazzophon; Keyed Bugle & Keyed Trumpet; Klaviaturklarinette; Klaviaturkontrafagott; Melonie; Muellerphon; Musettenbass; Neophon; Oktavin; Omnitonic Horns; Ophibariton (Serpent Bassoon); Ophicleide; Orpheon; Pelittone; Phonikon; Rohrkontrabass (Contrabass ad Ancia); Rothphone; Russian Bassoon; Russian Horns; Sarrusophone; Saxhorns; Saxtrombas & Saxtubas; Schediphon; Swanneckclarinet; Sechszehnfuessiger Orgelbass; Serpent; Serpent droit; Serpent Forveille; Sonorophon; Walkingstickinstruments; Stopped Trumpet; Sudrophone; Tarogato; Tritinikon; Tuba-Dupre; Valved Ophicleide; Quarter-tone clarinet; Violoncel-Serpent; Slide Trumpet." The pictures are great fun to look at even if you are left somewhat boggled as to exactly what it is you're seeing! I borrowed a copy via Interlibrary Loan.
