Recommendations

After long and tantalizing search, I have ultimately found the instrument which is 1000% suitable and reliable for me: Bbb Travel Tuba ‘Mighty Midget’.

I play around 100 shows a year, and we frequently have studio recording sessions, which require a lot of travelling and transportation. It is extremely convenient to put the instrument into my Pelican travel case and take everything easily.

Absolutely fantastic!
