[Dixielandjazz] Strange Instruments

[David Richoux]

Well, Tom

I didn't see anything exactly like what you are describing on that  
link, but there is a kind of a bass trombone tuba hybrid called   
cimbasso  ( see http://www.jrdhome.plus.com/cimbasso.htm )
that is sort of like what you might be describing. They mostly make  
an appearance at special classical performances - not a "regular"  
brass instrument by a long shot! (and I don't think there has ever  
been a jazz cimbassoist.)

But this may be some sort of home-brew instrument only found in  
Finland - who knows!
