Background

Originally played in

While the instrument is often played by trombonists, its conical nature is easily mastered by tuba or euphonium players. Several instrument manufacturers have attempted to solve the intonational discrepancies of the instrument in recent years, with a varied success. The instrument is taught throughout Catalonia, most notably in the traditional music departments of the Catalonia College of Music (ESMUC) in Barcelona and at the Conservatoire à rayonnement régional (CRR) in Perpignan, France.
