A. Fossi found this one in the basement of his opera house:

Hi the second one in reading right to left looks like it but the titles suggest that it is either a Voight in Eb or a Kallison in Bb
Cant carry a tune but I can carry a tuba.

Ditto. Would also be curious to some of the basic dimensions, if possible. The perspective of the picture intentionally makes the bell look larger than I am sure it is.jonesmj wrote:Klaus-

Thought to be from the 1960-ies. Went out of fashion because Italian scholars found it too widely bored for early Verdi. A. Fossi uses it for Puccini.

A little more love for the Cimbasso. The video isn't the greatest quality but the musicians definitely are.
Enjoy

The picture of the giant cimbasso (in the original post) vanished.
