ALEXANDER Wagner tuba Bb model 108ML, yellow brass, lacquered

In 1862, Richard Wagner was residing in Biebrich, across the Rhine from Mainz, while composing “Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg”. At the same time, he was searching for a new tone color for “Der Ring der Nibelungen”, one that the known instruments of that time could not provide. In cooperation with Gebr. Alexander, he refined his concept of an instrument whose tone lay between the horn and the baritone.

The Wagner Tuba has been continuously improved over time to meet the exacting standards of orchestral use. Today, Wagner Tubas made by Gebr. Alexander are played in leading orchestras around the world. In addition to the typical Bb and F tubas, Alexander offers a Bb/F full double Wagner Tuba.

The typical Wagner Tuba section is comprised of two F and two Bb Wagner Tubas – but double tubas can replace these as desired.
