I will speak on the Cimbasso, this horn was a blast to play and blended beautifully with the trombones on Nabucco, someone will be very happy to have this horn.

I owned this horn from 2012-2014; bought it from Norm Epley (NRE Brassworks) in Kentucky, then traded it to Baltimore Brass later on. Norm added the fifth valve before I bought it from him. Its a huge horn, with decent intonation - I remember it being easy to lip notes.

Just to add to the model number confusion, I'm fairly certain its a 601:

The routing of the valve slides is different on the 696, and the 691 has the horizontal main tuning slide.
