Selling my 4 valve Alexander F Cimbasso
Seemingly quite a rare instrument as I’ve never seen another one like this (so if anybody has any information about it, please let me know!)
Really beautiful instrument with fine craftsmanship and high quality brass
Made ~1960s/70s
Built to play at 440-442
Has a fairly large bore so takes a modern tuba/contrabass trombone mouthpiece
Very warm, open sound
Requires a tuba stand/block as it has no spike
Happy to provide a sound clip if desired
£3500 (may consider trades- show me what you’ve got)
Buyer pays postage

Early 60's - easily.
Indiana University had an Alex cimbasso tucked away that I honked on in 1979.
