Pocket Ensemble

[TYA]

Hello my brass ensemble wants to create a pocket instrument ensemble. I was wondering which tuba would be a god fit for this ensemble? I was looking at the MW Travel Tuba but that is just too expensive for me. I was also thinking of the Dillon's practice tuba witch is well in my price range. Anyone else have any other ideas for a "pocket" tuba? Thank you so much.

I think a student 3/4 baritone might technically qualify as a "pocket" Tuba.

Too bad you can't afford the MW. It would be perfect. There is also this Cerveny, ca.1900:

Is it still possible to find one of those? A small 3 valved BBb seems good.

The little Yamaha YBB 103 might be good choice. They're always popping up on ebay.

Tornister tubas still are available:

Attractive idea, but for the price.

I agree I think I rather go for the dillon practice tuba
