St.Petersburg 206 EEb Tuba

Post by Morrell »

Has anyone had a chance to play on one of these? I was just looking and saw it. Thinking about getting one. How are the quality of St. Petersburgs tubas? I dont really hear to much about them.

Having played and inspected one up close, I wouldn't buy one.

Interesting, I tried one this past summer on a whim while I was looking for an F, and thought that the St. Pete EEb was the one St. Pete I actually liked. Fast response, nice sound.
