The Yamaha YBB-321WC is an excellent choice for those who demand a high quality BBb tuba sound, yet must consider the ensemble budget. It features a strong warm tone with easy play-a-bility, and uncanny accurate intonation. A fourth valve extends the range of this step-up model, giving instrumentalists a new range of tonal possibilities.

Yamaha BB Tubas feature hand-lapped pistons and tuning slides for smooth, airtight action. The clear epoxy finish and gold-brass leadpipe provide durable protection against corrosion. Includes Case.
