  • Our take on the Melhart MTU991 4 Valve Rotary Tuba

    The Melhart MTU991 is a 4/4 BBb tuba with four rotary valves, a 17 3/4-inch yellow brass bell and a 0.787-inch bore, standing 37 inches tall. It is aimed at students and community band players who want a rotary-valve BBb tuba without moving up to a 5/4 or 6/4 instrument. Against piston-valve student tubas it offers the rotary action and a larger bell, but it is a basic four-valve setup with no compensating system, so intonation in the low register depends on the player. It ships with an ABS case.
