[Trombone-l] Jazz Cimbasso

[Daniel Pliskin]

Is playing cimbasso all that different from playing other valved brass instruments?  

I know it's odd shaped and it seems to be more cylindrical than euphoniums.  But can anyone low brass valve player, who can afford one, pick up a cimmasso and play it?
