SO far as known. the only bass horn
larger than the one played by Byers
was made by Henry Distin for exhibition
at the Paris Exposition No one could
be found who could make a sound upon
it except a man who was so extremely
bashful that he would play in public
only when about half intoxicated. Even
then he would sit with his back to the
audience. When he played he swelied M
like a toad and became very red in ia
face. The strain, however, was too nucn
and he soon gave it up as injurious to his
