7 The cimbasso was often indicated in scores as a more general marker to require a musician to play the lowest brass instrument available. The cimbasso itself is a low brass instrument with a range similar to that of a contrabass trombone. Developed from the upright serpent horn, it was used within nineteenth-century Italian opera orchestras. By the 1880s, Verdi used a valve contrabass trombone.
