Hello,
I am (still) looking for a cimbasso!
Key/valve system is not an issue - there are not many around, so I will look at all types.
I am not considering the "big ticket items" at this point, just an acceptable instrument for general use, as well as for spoiling the occasional camping trip.
Thank you,
Kathott

I'll second Mike's mention and assessment of Sam Gnagey's works. The Cincinnati Opera bought on of his and use it regularly.
