The Melhart MBTU MACH 1 is a 6/4 BBb contrabass tuba with four front pistons and a fifth independent rotary valve. Its 0.764"–0.827" dual bore and 20" bell put it in the large orchestral and brass-band class, where the extra rotary valve adds low-register options. It weighs 12.3 kg and stands 36 1/2" tall, so it is a heavy instrument to carry and hold. It suits players who want a big, dark BBb sound and a fifth valve for low range, and it competes with large 6/4 tubas on valve layout and bore size rather than on portability.
