The Klein family
I assume a valve trombone there. They are popular in Italy. This must have been a heck of an act...unicycles, a brass band, and a tramp clown in one.
Looks like a slide trombone to me along with 2 trumpets a euphonium & a small tuba a great combination
Chic, I'm going to have to stand with Tony here. The instrument in question sure looks like a rotary valve trombone - perhaps similar to the one shown below:https://www.kuehnl-hoyer.de/en/product/bb-valve-trombone-with-rotary-valvesune/I also think that a playing a valve trombone on a unicycle would present fewer balance problems than a slide instrument.
