New Tuba

Post by acjcf2 »

Waiting anxiously for my new Dillon 12915 5/4 BIbb tuba arrive tomorrow. Thanks to Matt at Dillon Music for his assistance. :D :tuba: Hopefully FedEx is on time.

Love my Mack tuba, I just had to have piston tuba also.

The Director of the local community wind band that I play in loved what he called a rich, round sound. Less brassy or sharp as compared to the TU-200. The pedal tones were more organ like.
