In addition to these makers, many specialty dealers of antique musical instruments are stocking distributors for Serpents and related instruments.

Would you like to try your hand at building a simple, easy to make instrument that looks modern, yet is a near acoustical copy of a serpent? Take a look at the Squarpent article on this website. It is not a substitute for the quality instruments produced by the makers on the above list, but it does cost less than $30!

The Serpent Website now also includes downloadable plans for building simplified ophicleides and contra-bass serpents using common materials and tools. Refer to the Squarpent article linked in the above paragraph.
