MJC Contrabass Cimbasso
Designed and first added to the MJC stable at MJC in 2018.
The Contrabass was built with studio work in mind. To say this is the ultimate in low and loud, is an understatement.

The Contrabass is perfect for second Cimbasso in film scores, but equally at home in the Opera pit, should the player prefer a CC/BBb instrument.
In the summer of 2025 MJC welcomed Doug Tornquist, LA studio tubist to try out a prototype BBb Cimbasso.
Thus the B52 BBb Cimbasso was born!
The B52 differs slightly, in that it has a larger bore 5th valve after the 4th for greater was of low register playing.
