Trust me, you don't. It's a dog. Actually, a dog plays better...

I must disagree, as I just played the Cerveny F cimbasso on display in Frankfurt, and thought it was excellent. It's not a Rudy Meinl, but at half the price, it's worthy. The one I tried had a few ergonomic issues, but they said they make them all to order and will make it however I'd like. Same goes with their tubas.

I also tried an excellent new cimbasso by G&P, which is an improved version of the cimbasso formerly sold as the Kalison. It is a 4 piston/1 rotor system, F tuba bore, and had a really big sound. Pics coming soon...

Yes, the Haag cimbasso has a main slide trigger, and even a remote control double water key button. I hardly care if it sells. I'll just keep it for myself and stare at it. That's how beautiful it is.

Best,

SF

I certainly respect you opinion, SF. I'm hoping your praise means that means they've changed the design of the leadpipe since the last one I tried. It was an uber-stuffy instrument.

I've tried a Kalison F and it was fantastic by comparison. Should've nabbed it - what a fun instrument!
