If I' m not mistaken the ensemble calls it a Mnozil brass tuba or "Kronos". It
is custom made by Melton and sold @ Schagerl. It is pitched in F w/ 5 valves
and 3 triggers.

I believe it's a bass trumpet. Interestingly, Stravinsky also used it
in "Le Sacre".

bands, but could well be a rotary valve forward pointing aberration of an
