Precision brace design and placement
The design and placement of the braces ensure maximum durability as well as optimum tone.
Bore size
The .661" bore of the YBB-105M achieves the ideal balance between easy response and solid, authoritative sound.
Bell flare
The specially designed bell flare delivers outstanding projection with warm, rich tone.
Leadpipe taper
Faultless intonation and well-centered notes are the result of the extended taper on the leadpipe.
Well-balanced
The YBB-105M has been designed so it is easy to handle while marching.
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.
