Never seen it before. I really appreciate your input since I'm a big fan of low-register brass instruments. Thank you in advance! |

Valved Bass Trombone. Unusual(?) vertical design. Cool how he "pulls" the tuning slide with a thumb trigger (typically valve systems have a sharpness problem somewhere, often valves 1+3). Trumpeters have to use their pinky for the "pull."

It's a Cimbasso, a cross between a contra-bass trombone and a tuba. Cimbasso, Cerveny Cimbasso

Thank you so much! BTW, the Wikipedia entry on this instrument quotes the same video I posted (full tune). | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
