Our take on the Yamaha YBB-105WC 3/4 Size 3 Valve BBb Tuba With Case

The YBB-105WC is a 3/4-size BBb tuba built for younger and smaller players. It has three nickel-plated top-action pistons, a 0.661-inch bore and a 14 3/8-inch upright yellow brass bell, and it ships with a mouthpiece and a case. The large bore for its size gives it more depth and projection than most student tubas of this class, which is why school programs favor it. It is a beginner and school instrument, not a step-up or professional horn.

Questions and answers

Is the YBB-105WC good for a beginner?
Yes. Its 3/4 size and light weight suit younger players, and three valves keep it simple to learn on.
Does it come with a mouthpiece and case?
Yes. It ships with a Yamaha 67 mouthpiece and a BBC-27 case.
How does it compare with a full-size tuba?
It is smaller and lighter, with a 0.661-inch bore that gives it more sound than its size suggests. A full-size four-valve tuba still offers more low-register range and volume.
What key is it in?
It is a BBb tuba, the standard key for school band tubas.
Can it be used for marching band?
It is designed as a concert band instrument. Its size and upright bell make it awkward for marching, where sousaphones are usually used.
Is three valves enough?
For beginner and intermediate school parts, yes. Players moving into advanced literature will want a four-valve instrument.
