Hello tuba world,
Today I would like to introduce you to the Cimbasso in a very special way. The word cimbasso appears for the first time in opera scores by Bellini (Norma, 1831) and Verdi. Giuseppe Verdi uses this term, which originally means C. in basso (corno in Basso, corno inglese di basso). It is actually a "Trombone Contrabasso". Today the instrument can be found in the orchestra pit in all opera houses around the world.
The Nabucco Fantasy by Giuseppe Verdi for the Cimbasso Quartet.
Played on Cerveny F-Cimbasso (CFC 652-5I) and
Roland de Wilde B-Cimbasso

I don't think the forum software was co-operating with you when posting this! But enjoyed the video, love the sound of Cimbassi (especially when they have a bit of bite!)

I don't know what happened with the software...
But thank you for your nice words.
I am glad that you like it.
Many greetings from germany

Daniel,

Wonderful playing. Great work!

I'm curious.. since you've probably played more cimbassos than most of us will ever get a chance.. Which model cimbasso has the easiest to manage intonation? Why did you use the Cerveny for this video?

Thanks!

Hi Joh_Tuba,
thank you so much for your words!
I choose the Cerveny F-Cimbasso because the sound is the best for me. Intonation is not super easy, but a repairshop made me a mainslide trigger. Now I can play everything.
Of course the Rudolf Meinl is better. But 6000 Euro more expensive. But for the Symphonic Concert Band of German Armed Forces is the Cerveny better. I like the sound so much...
Hope that helps

That is excellent!
