What makes things interesting is that instruments have evolved since a
century ago, let alone a century and a half. Verdi wrote for a bass
brass instrument, knowing that his orchestras would use an
Ophicleide. Today those parts would be played on a tuba, but I seem
to remember reading that Verdi himself expressed a preference for the
Cimbasso.
