Looking for a reliable, full-size BBb tuba without breaking the bank? The BerkeleyWind 4/4 BBb Tuba delivers great tone, smooth playability, and solid build quality—perfect for students, schools, and community bands.
I’m actually a trumpet player, but even I was able to get a rich, clear sound across the full range of this horn. Compared to our other tubas, this one is incredibly responsive and easy to play. If a marching band ever needs me on tuba again, I’ll be ready! (Though I have to admit—it’s a bit heavy for an old guy like me!)
Paired with the BerkeleyWind Heritage Tuba Mouthpiece (Model BK3188)
Originally developed for front-action BBb tubas, this mouthpiece is ideal for soloists or quintet settings. It offers immediate response and a brilliant tone. Also compatible with F and Eb tubas. The smaller throat provides enhanced clarity, support, and excellent projection.
