Our take on the Eastman EBF862S - 4/4 Size F Tuba

The Eastman EBF862S is a 4/4-size F tuba with a 17.5-inch yellow brass bell, four front-action stainless steel pistons and a fifth rotary valve. The front-action layout keeps the valve cluster forward and the fifth rotor extends the low range, which is the setup many players want for solo and quintet work. It ships with a Laskey 28K mouthpiece, a maintenance kit and a wheeled ABS case. Against other 4/4 F tubas, the five-valve configuration and included gear make it a complete package rather than a bare instrument.

Best forTuba players who want a compact F tuba for solo and chamber playingStudents moving up from a 3/4 or BBb instrumentPlayers who prefer front-action pistons over rotary valvesBuyers who want a case and mouthpiece included
Pros
  • Fifth rotary valve adds low-range flexibility
  • Front-action stainless steel pistons are easy to reach and service
  • 17.5-inch yellow brass bell gives a full, warm sound for a 4/4 F
  • Ships with a Laskey 28K mouthpiece and maintenance kit
  • Wheeled ABS case makes transport practical
Cons
  • 4/4 F tubas are a niche choice; most band players still need a BBb or CC
  • Five valves add weight and a learning curve for the fifth rotor
  • Clear lacquer shows wear over time
  • Large bell and case take up space in tight transport

Questions and answers

Is the Eastman EBF862S a good first F tuba?
It can work for a player already comfortable with a tuba who is adding F for solo or chamber music. The fifth rotary valve and front-action pistons take some getting used to, so total beginners are better off starting on a BBb or CC.
What is the difference between the pistons and the fifth valve?
The four main valves are front-action stainless steel pistons, played with the right hand. The fifth valve is a rotary rotor that extends the low register and offers alternate fingerings.
What comes in the box?
A Laskey 28K US mouthpiece, an Ultra-Pure maintenance kit and a deluxe wheeled ABS case.
How does a 4/4 F tuba compare with a CC or BBb?
An F tuba is smaller and lighter in sound, with a quicker response that suits solos and quintets. CC and BBb tubas are larger and darker and are the standard for most band and orchestra sections.
What is the bell size and bore?
The bell is 17.5 inches (450 mm) in yellow brass, and the bore runs from .750 to .787 inch (19 to 20 mm).
