NEW BBb-Tuba, handmade by Meister Stephan Schmidt from Markneukirchen

Post by kontrabasstuba »

The new Kaiser BBb tuba, built according to old German craftsmanship by master Stephan Schmidt from Markneukirchen. Together with my friend Sven Kock from the Philharmonic Orchestra Bielefeld, we put the instrument through its paces. Now a new leadpipe is being fitted. The tuba is equipped with a fully conical valve machine. The sound is really dark and super open in the low end.

Wow, that thing looks cool and sounds great! I would love to hear that horn laying down the foundation in a band or big romantic orchestral setting.
