Visiting "Die Tuba"

Inside the Shop

On-Sale Instruments

The shopmaster upgrades the linkages of the valves, as described in "The Tuba" site. I spent three hours to choose one horn out of 19 instruments which were ready to buy. As a result what I chose was one with honed-up rotors, German mechanics and laquar-finished.
