MM-TU 600 F Tuba

[Josh deVries]

Has anyone ever played or heard of the MMTU-600 F tuba?

Saw an ad in ITEA Journal for TubaMM in Fort Lauderdale and on their website they have this horn listed (MMTU-600).

For the price, it seems like you can't beat it.

I was wondering if anyone has heard this horn or played it themselves and had any opinion on it. I'm currently playing on a MW 182 and need something bigger with a better low range.

Thanks!

Search "Jinbao f".

They're pretty well regarded for the price and available from a number of dealers, several on the board.

I'm a bit confused. Is this the same horn as the MM-TU 600?

I liked the one I played at the Army tuba conference enough that I bought one (from Mack). It should be here in a few days. What I recall about the horn-
-wonderful clear, full sound
-easy to play
-big low register
-heavy!

The only thing I really didn't like about it was the order of the 5th and 6th valves. I would much prefer 5 over 6. Oh well...
That little MW 182 is a super horn! I was delightfully surprised at it especially as I don't much care for the 1282. The 182, Cerveny 653, Kanstul F, and Yamaha 621 have to be the best small F's out there (the 182 and 653 are somewhat similar to me). The Kanstul and 621 are rather uncomfortable for me. The Jin Bao F is bigger than any of those, possibly comparable to a Firebird though I've not played them back to back. I used to think the 653 was the best deal (AND one of the best horns!) out there but the price has been going up; I believe they're over $4000 everywhere. The JB F is just as good and much cheaper.

You've found the info, Grasshopper!
