Hello gang,

A student clipped this out of a european magazine and gave it to me:

http://thomtrombone.googlepages.com/SaxHorn

Any French speakers out there? The horn is interesting -- might the lady be concealing a 5th valve w/ the left hand? Euphs on the silver screen -- how about that!?

It's R-rated:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0344510/plotsummary

and released through Warner Bros:

In English:

and a Wiki on it:

I can't say about the saxhorn, except that it appears to be a high-pitch instrument with an extension in the main slide to convert to low pitch.

I probably could read the text, if it weren't for the (too) low resolution of the scan

To me it looks more like a repair where the silver plating has gone.

By the way, if you browse the (french Warner bros) site, you'll see and hear a single note played ...



And before we start again, Yes, the voice-over does say she plays tuba. Thats French for euphonium/TENOR tuba!

That looks like Audrey Tautou...she's the girl from the Da Vinci Code and Amelié.

Saw the movie last year at our local art house. Not bad. The Euph excerpts were all sort of sad, keeping with the character's mood, I suppose.
