Anyway- my question. It could have been a trick of perspective, but I think not.
Looking from over the conductor’s shoulder, one could see what appeared to be a massive Bass Trombone. The final curve appeared to have a width of about a foot! Never saw, or heard it played, but I’m sure I saw it correctly.
Anyone shed any light on this huge horn? What was it used in? What is it pitched in? Triggers? Valves? It appeared to be a ‘sit-down’ only model.
Probably a contrabass trombone. They make them in F and in BBb (think Slide Tuba). Not a common instrument, but not unknown either. Takes a LOT of air, but a fun horn to play.
