Cimbasso?

I was just looking at the Cerveny site and discovered something "new". It's a re-wrap on the four-rotary valve bass trombone in F that Cerveny has produced since the 1870's. I owned the straightened version of this instrument for 10 years and found it to sound pretty good, although it took a TON of air and gave me a serious back ache just to hold it. The new wrap places the weight of the instrument on the floor.

It looks nice, so long as it plays well.

"hammered dulcimer" = cimbalom

But what does all this have to do with "getting hammered"? :D
