  • Our take on the Eastman EBC836 CC Tuba

    The Eastman EBC836 is a 6/4 CC orchestral tuba modeled on the legendary York CC, with a 20-inch upright yellow brass bell and four front-action stainless steel pistons. A right-thumb fifth rotary valve extends the low range, and the .750-inch piston bore with .850-inch fifth valve gives it a big, dark orchestral voice. It suits symphony, concert band and opera pit players who want a York-style sound without vintage-instrument risk. Against the big-name 6/4 CC tubas it competes on size and layout at a lower outlay, though it is a heavy, large instrument that rewards strong air and a committed player.

    Pros
    • Large 6/4 body with a 20-inch upright bell for a broad, dark tone
    • Four front-action stainless steel pistons are comfortable and durable
    • Right-thumb fifth rotary valve adds low-range flexibility
    • Yellow brass construction with clear lacquer or silver plate options
    • Ships with an Eastman ABS hard shell case
    Cons
    • Large and heavy, so it is awkward to move and transport
    • 6/4 CC tubas demand strong air and embouchure control
    • Front-action pistons and a rotary fifth valve mix two valve types to maintain
    • Big-bell 6/4 instruments can be too much for small rooms or young players

    What reviewers say
