The comfort, durability, action, and response professionals demand.

Hand-lapped rotary valves, hand-lapped slides, carefully positioned nickel-silver spatula keys, Yamaha-developed ball joints for the rotary valve levers that achieve a silent and light action, and a long mouthpipe that contributes to a beautiful dark tone. Careful slide positioning is another plus, making it easier to adjust while playing. This is a splendid instrument, innovative in design and traditional in its fine handcrafted refinements. Includes case. All Yamaha wind instruments come with a limited 5-year warranty.

Reviewer's Play Style: classical-modern

Fantastic tuba. I play it everyday. I have played on Werils and other such tubas. This tuba though is by far the best. I can not say that I have played on a cerveny or a miraphone yet so I can not compare those to this one. This tuba is a fantastic for chorales and modern music. It is somewhat difficult to play marches on it because it requires a little more air than most are use to. I overplay my high school band quite often but in my youth orchestra of about 100 i belnd in fairly well. I hope to hear you in the next big orchestra.

P.S.- please remember evrything stated in this article is biased upon my views

I have been playing this tuba for about a year, and I absolutely love it! In my opinion, it is near perfect...the case is a little weak..

Reviewer's Background: Quintet and symphonic band member

Reviewer's Play Style: concert, marches,

I use this tuba for quintet I do in my community. I thought this was not a great instrument for marches, but it is great with smooth response and soundless valves in mellower, quiet music. I am not quite sure why. It mgith of been my mouthpiece. For this instrument is hard to find a good mouthpiece that fits in with your style. I prefer a 7 or 24AW. Overall great tuba.

Reviewer's Play Style: a little of everything

I love this horn. I have had it for around 12 years and it is great. One of the few horns that actually is priced with a case and mouthpiece, but the quality of the Yamaha name shines through. Never had a problem.

Reviewer's Background: High school tuba student

Reviewer's Play Style: Classical, marching

This horn has a good tone and the valves are easily played. However, G's, D's, B's, and other notes usually played with valves one and two must be played with the third valve, or else it is excessively sharp, and the spit valve does not always work as well as removing the entire tuning slide.
