The bombardon, or E flat tuba, has much richer lower notes.

This was the old man who had listened to my performance on the bombardon.

The euphonium and bombardon, the basses of the important family of saxhorns, now completely cover the ground of bass wind instrument music.

The visitor put out his hand, but as I offered him the bombardon he waved it aside impatiently and pointed to the cornet.

Unfortunately just on his wedding-day a sergeant, named Bombardon, levies him for the army, which is to march against the Russians.
