Yamaha - YBB-201MS - Convertible BBb Tuba

The 201MS/201M is a tuba for those who need flexibility with their instruments. The same tuba is equally suited for use on the field or in a formal concert performance. The 17-inch bell delivers a rich full sound, yet the tuba is lightweight for carrying ease and offers great cost performance. The marching and concert leadpipe conversion is simple and can be easily accomplished by the player.

Features

Hand-fitted valves and slides

Hand-fitted ensures an absolutely perfect fit and seal between the valve pistons and casing or slide parts. Such a fit helps to achieve smooth air flow and smooth action, and improves the response and intonation of thee instrument.

Heavy bracing

All Yamaha marching instruments have heavy bracing throughout, so they are more durable at vulnerable points and can withstand the rigors of use in a marching band.

Precision brace design and placement

The design and placement of the braces ensure maximum durability as well as optimum tone.

Leadpipe taper

Faultless intonation and well-centered notes are the result of the extended taper on the leadpipe.

Leadpipes

Both marching and concert leadpipes included
