The cimbasso covers the same range as a [[tuba]] or a [[contrabass trombone]]. The term {{lang|it|cimbasso}} first appeared in early 19th century [[Italian opera]] scores, and originally referred to an [[upright serpent]] or an [[ophicleide]]. The modern cimbasso first appeared as the ''trombone basso Verdi'' in the 1880s and has three to six [[piston valve|piston]] or [[rotary valve]]s and a predominantly cylindrical [[bore (wind instruments)|bore]]. They are most often pitched in 12' F, although models are available in E{{Music|flat}} and occasionally 16' C and 18' B{{Music|flat}}. The cimbasso is most commonly used in performances of late [[Romanticism|Romantic]] Italian operas by [[Giuseppe Verdi|Verdi]] and [[Giacomo Puccini|Puccini]], but has also experienced a 21st-century revival in film, television and video game soundtracks.
