Miraphone - Model 281 Firebird 6-Valve F Tuba (Lacquered)

Thanks to its immense projection, the focused center and clarity of its F tuba sound and the large potential of rich volume, the Firebird 281 F tuba is an excellent choice for both soloists and orchestra musicians.

The lean and compact body of the Firebird relates to what one would expect of a German F tuba. However, this model has a conical taper with a widening valve bore, specially developed to give a more direct and easy response. The free-floating leadpipe and the hand-hammered bell grants the Firebird its unique tone color.
