Overview
A band room with an open low brass chair is where this horn makes sense. It is a CC tuba in the oversized format, with a wide bore, an upright bell and a polished silver plate finish.
The reason to look at it is the larger bore and bell, which the listing frames as a big, full format for players who want more horn. The limitation is that the listing says little beyond the build, and the weight and mouthpiece are absent.
Who it's for
Experienced players and ensembles who want a wider bore will see the point of this size. Younger or smaller players, and buyers who need a mouthpiece or warranty listed, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Large upright bell
- Silver plate finish
- Weight absent from the listing
- Mouthpiece not mentioned
- Large format is hard to carry
Performance notes
A wider bore moves more air and gives the sound more room to open up, and the large upright bell sends it up and out. The four front-action pistons and fifth rotary valve control the pitch.
