Cimbasso for loan/borrow near Lincoln, NE

[KevinMadden]

Hello Tubenet,

I'm currently looking to go out for the Minnesota Opera audition (http://www.mnopera.org/about/jobs/" target="_blank" target="_blank) but it requires a Cimbasso. To my (and my teacher's knowledge) this school does not have access to one. Since this is the first time I've encountered a 'need' to have a cimbasso, I'm not looking to spend 3-4k on a instrument with debatable future purpose. Any ideas/leads to one that could be loaned out or borrowed within a days drive of Lincoln (Until December) , or a playable one that could be bought in the <$1,500 range?

Thanks much.
