Hand-lapped slides
Hand-lapping achieves the perfect balance between airtightness and smooth action.
Heavy bracing throughout
Because this tuba is used in marching band, it has heavy bracing throughout the instrument to make it more durable at the vulnerable points.
Convertible leadpipe
The reinforced convertible leadpipe for marching allows the instrument to be played in concert and marching settings. The marching leadpipe also has an extra water key to facilitate drainage while marching. The marching leadpipe can be adjusted so the tuba is held on either the left shoulder or the right shoulder.
Available feature
This instrument is also available in lacquer finish (YBB-201MWC).
