[TPIN] Bass trombone (for tuba) in a brass quintet?

[Thomas Meacham]

Paul,

I think (recalling an old photo in the ITG Journal), that it was a 
baritone and not a trombone in Ewald's group. I think they were all 
valved instruments, and all conical-bore. The E-flat alto horn, rather 
than an E-flat fluegl, sounds logical.

I seem to  remember reading that Ewald was an alto (tenor in England) 
horn player.  So,
it was probably 2 cornets, alto horn, trombone, and tuba.
