[Trombone-l] CIMBASSO BARGAIN!!!

CIMBASSO BARGAIN!!!

Cerveny CVT-576 F Valve Bass Trombone* - ONLY $1900



(*Cerveny calls their straight model a "valve bass trombone" and the bent
version of the identical instrument CVT 576-4CPX (Note the nearly
 identical model number) a "cimbasso," but the
straight horn is much cheaper, for whatever reason.



This sale includes several improvements by NRE Master Craftsman Norm Epley:



n Added tubing to bring pitch down to A=440 (the new horn is very sharp)

n Two tuning slide triggers (1st and 4th valves)

With these alterations the horn plays very well in tune.



This sale also includes:

n Contrabass trombone stand by Hornguys of LA ($60 value -
for resting the instrument while not playing)

n ErgoBone stand ($150 value - to hold horn while playing)

(note- this is the floor stand - the chest stand will
not work with this horn)



Why so cheap, with all of these extras?

Ray bought this when it was temporarily cheaper (currency
fluctuations). He played it on the KY Opera’s “Otello”
where it got very favorable comments from other musicians
and audience members. Then the KY Opera changed staff,
stopped hiring an extra trombonist for Italian operas,
 and gave the Cimbasso part to the tubist. Now you can gain from Ray’s loss!




This horn has a euro shank (in between large and small shank trombone).



Euro mouthpiece included - Cerveny “3G”, PLUS ONE, your
choice, from the following:

n Bach 1 1/4 G (bass trombone) used

n Bach 2G (bass trombone) used

n Holton 1 1/2 G (bass trombone) used

n Doug Elliot shank - custom bored out by Norm - should
fit your Elliot mouthpiece upper (slightly used)

n Tuba mouthpiece to be named later - custom shank-fit by Norm (used)



You may consider getting the shank changed to a large
trombone or tuba shank, but it worked fine for me with
the bored-out Doug Elliot shank and a 114-K bass trombone upper.



This horn barks at f like a cimbasso should, and plays a rich low sound at p
.
