5/4 BBb tuba with Germanic character
If you are looking for a large BBb tuba with a clearly German-style response, the Eastman EBB623 stands out as a well-balanced option. This 5/4 tuba has a pronounced “Germanic” character and combines tonal richness with a compact, tightly wrapped design, making it feel surprisingly manageable for its size.
That makes the Eastman EBB623 suitable for players who want the full presence of a large bass tuba while still valuing control and comfort. In our Roosendaal store, you can also try wind instruments in person with advice from staff who are wind players themselves.
Projection, response and build
The 17 3/4” yellow brass bell contributes warmth and projection, while the .835" bore keeps the sound full and open. Together with the four front-action rotary valves, this gives you direct response, a centered tone and a solid low foundation.
The response feels stable, focused and reliable at every dynamic level. That combination of a large 5/4 layout and a compact wrap gives this BBb tuba extra control in playing without losing its powerful character.
Finish and transport
The Eastman EBB623 described here is the gold lacquer version. There is also a silver-plated version available as the EBB623S.
The EBB623 comes with a Deluxe case, so you can transport this tuba safely and comfortably to rehearsal, lessons or performances.
