Isn't the 1980's-2002 definition of "cimbasso": a gadget that many have collectively "decided" must be what was meant in Verdi's time by the word "cimbasso"?

Yes I know that similar gadgets existed in the 1800's, but isn't there a lack of documentation tying the word "cimbasso" to "that gadget"?

Personally, I think "whacking" those ff G's with the bass drum in the Requiem sounds best on a 3/4-size or larger "tuba".
