WESSEX TB575GB Luzern BBb tuba, 5/4, 5 rotary valves

WESSEX TB575GB Luzern BBb tuba, 5/4, 5 rotary valves, lacquered, with case

For modern music, and playing the BBb bass part in brass bands, 5-valves are really required to cover the full chromatic range down to the fundamental.

Wessex Tubas has therefore re-designed the ‘Luzern’ with a 5th rotary valve tuned to a flat tone, as is standard on modern tubas – and operated by the thumb of the right hand.

Our BBb 5/4 5-Rotary-Valve Tuba ‘Luzern’ TB575 can be used to play any contrabass tuba or BBb bass music, and provide a superb broad tone under band or orchestra.

We believe this is the best value, full size BBb tuba for sale and is sure to satisfy a player of any standard, from local community band level, to leading professional.
