Re: Cimbasso
It's easy to make fun of the instrument, mostly due to the fact that so few have had a chance to play one. Even fewer have actually spent enough time with it to be able to play it on a professional level. I think one of the great things about an instrument where the function isn't necessarily so clearly defined (apart from the use in italian opera) is that we can make our own way with it. Pave the way and define it ourselves, if we have the balls/ovaries to do so! Andrew Bove is a great example, he made the worlds first solo cimbasso album...that's a great first step, it's up to the rest of us to take the next ones!!
