VAT Included
Planned Delivery: Late April 2025
The BBb 6/4 Tuba with 5-valves ‘Prokofiev’ - TB693 HP is an original 6/4 BBb 5 valve tuba designed by Chuck Nickles and entirely handcrafted using sheet metal for a highly responsive and totally flexible tuba that is exceptionally lightweight for its huge size.
The tone of this very special tuba for sale very much resurrects the great American tubas of the past, but with considerably greater intonation and response.
The sound of this 5 valve tuba for sale has to be heard to be truly believed - maybe the best BBb tuba in the world?
"I purchased a Prokofiev JUST to play 'Star Wars.' Now, this is my 'go to' tuba for just about everything. If I could buy 3 for my Wind Orchestra, 2 for my Brass band, and 5 for my Community band, I would ... in a heartbeat. If you do almost exclusively big group playing, and want ONE tuba for that, Go get yourself one."
- Tony Clements, on TubeNet
NOTE: The correct gig bag for this tuba is the B800
