Does anybody recognize this instrument?

Watching "The Last Night of the Proms" yesterday I noticed an instrument in the BBC Symphony Orchestra I've never seen before. It appears briefly at 31:25 in this clip

    I'm in Sweden, so the link doesn't work for me either. However, 'The Last Night of the Proms' was broadcast here. If you mean that weird looking brass instrument, it resembled a valved trombone. Then again, I only had brief glimpse of it.

    EDIT: It's a Cimbasso (type of valved trombone) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cimbasso

    Currently BBC iPlayer TV programmes are available to play in the UK only, but all BBC iPlayer Radio programmes are available to you. Why?

    If you are in the UK and see this message please read this advice.

    Go to the BBC iPlayer Radio homepage
