Thanks, Dana, David (and others), I did immediately think it was a cimbasso, but the strange configuration was what made me less than sure. All the times I have seen images, they looked a lot like the ones you linked to, with the bell over the shoulder like a la marching band. The camera angle that seemed always be shooting with someone between the camera and the cimbasso player didn't help.

Here's a link to a site in the UK that shows serveral variations of valve configurations: http://www.wcwband.co.uk/cimbasso.htm Dana Twiss _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
