Kalison Daryl Smith 5V CC in Silver Plate

Post by Mark Horne »

Perhaps one of the most under-rated tubas made, the Kalison Daryl Smith model produces a big dark sound that is reminiscent of the Alexander 163, but with all the advantages of vented piston valves. It has a bigger sound than any Miraphone 188 that I have played. The excellent German made valve set is removable (as is the lead pipe) for easy cleaning and maintenance. Intonation is excellent; the first valve slide is easily moved and has slide stops to “pre-set” the push and pull ranges (pull a bit for 1st valve F). Recent chem clean and tune-up from Tim’s Music of Sacramento.

It is available through Noah's Brass Ark in southern California http://www.brassark.com/sale/" target="_blank

Priced at $4400 it represents an outstanding value for a proven professional quality tuba.
