The Italian Depth

The cimbasso delivers a rich, focused low brass sound, often used as an alternative to the tuba in Italian opera by composers like Giuseppe Verdi and Giacomo Puccini. Its focused tone adds clarity and depth to brass sections without overpowering them. Recorded dry in its purest form at our purpose-built Silent Stage with its tight, controlled ambience, this instrument brings a distinctive low-end tonality to your studio.

Black and white diptych showing a musician playing a tuba-like instrument with a unique, elongated, curved bell and slide. The left panel shows the musician facing forward, holding the instrument with both hands, while the right panel shows the musician in profile, blowing into the instrument's mouthpiece. Both scenes are set in a music studio with sound-dampening foam on the walls.
