Buying guides that pick the Wessex TB480P “Viverna” Handmade BBb 4/4 Five-Valve Tuba

  • Best tubas

Created for band and orchestral playing, the Viverna combines a substantial 4/4 sound with thoughtfully positioned valves that sit close to the player. Its comfortable reach helps you concentrate on phrasing, articulation and musical expression through demanding rehearsals and performances.

Why choose the Viverna?

Handmade craftsmanship

Part of Wessex’s Hand-Made High-Grade production, the Viverna brings carefully crafted construction to an instrument for committed amateur and professional musicians.

Five valves for greater flexibility

Four piston valves and a rotary fifth valve provide additional fingering choices in the lowest register, helping you approach demanding bass parts with confidence.

Comfortable valve positioning

The close valve layout makes the instrument more accessible to players with a shorter reach—a valuable consideration when choosing a full-size BBb tuba.

A substantial voice for ensemble playing

Support a quiet passage with depth, build a firm foundation beneath the brass, or bring weight to a full ensemble climax. The Viverna is designed to fulfil the varied demands of band and orchestral repertoire.

Practical details throughout

Vented stainless steel piston valves, nickel slides and a wheeled hard case complete an instrument built around the needs of the working player.
