1206 - F. CAUWELAERT, A PUPIL OF ADOLPHE SAX - Prototype bombardment

F. CAUWELAERT, A PUPIL OF ADOLPHE SAX - Prototype bombardment Metal. Dimensions: 99 x 42 x 99 cm. An interesting prototype euphonium dating from the early 20th century, made by F. Cauwelaert, who is cited as a pupil of Adolphe Sax. The piece is of considerable interest in the history of organology and the evolution of brass instruments, as it represents a typology linked to the technical and formal experimentation that took place within the brass family in the wake of the innovations introduced by Sax. Its status as a prototype gives it special documentary value, both because of its rarity and because of its connection to the development and refinement of this type of instrument in the first half of the 20th century.
