WESSEX TB162S BBb mini jazz tuba

WESSEX TB162S BBb mini jazz tuba, silverplated

Based on our TB160 Mighty Midget, the BBb Mini Jazz Tuba TB162 has a much larger forward-facing bell. This means it is not as portable and, although it is not suitable as a travel tuba, it projects much more powerfully than the regular tornister tubas. It produces three times the volume of the Mighty Midget, making it great to play in bands – and for jazz, as the name indicates – while still being light to carry and hold; one of the most desirable mini tubas available.

• Bell: 285 mm (11¼") – forward-facing for big tone from a small tuba
