2 tenors and 1 bass trombone, an F cimbasso (labeled as a contrabass trombone, which is how I came across it...), an Eb tuba, and no carnage. Sigh. That German Brass recording has spoiled me... :D

Sounds cool anyways!

Trombones are Chris Mowatt, Henry Hardy and Steve Saunders.
Cimbasso is Jim Anderson, Tuba is Paul Smith. Recorded 1994.

I think that Henry Wood's original scoring may have called for Contrabass Trombone, with the cimbasso being a more nimble supplier of the same sound? (My guess.)
Great fun to play.
