I believe the instrument Michael Mulcahy played is a tenor tuba.  Although I 
couldn't find his email address to ask directly, on the 1995 CD 
"Orchestral Excerpts For Bass Trombone, Tenor Tuba, Etc" he recorded this 
track, #16, and the album photo looks like the instument in the broadcast:

Symphony no 7 in E minor: Excerpt(s) by Gustav Mahler 
        Performer:  Michael Mulcahy (Tenor Tuba)
