Yamaha Handcrafted CC Tuba

Model: YCB-826S

Each instrument is painstakingly constructed by a very small number of highly skilled craftsman, producing each individual piece and part by hand. This handmade construction produces an instrument with a deep, rich, low range, agile response and an individual sound character.

The instrument has a muscular low register with a very defined core that couples well with the bass trombone in the orchestral setting, and produces the type of sound core that makes it very easy for the trombone and low brass section to build on. Conversely, the middle and upper registers can take on expressive, buoyant and bravura qualities that are rarely heard on the contrabass tuba.

The YCB-826S can play so soft it exhibits only a sheen barely audible in the orchestra at times. With relative ease, however, it can keep up with any loud tutti brass section passage.
