BE981Sovereign EEb Tuba

 

"The Besson BE981 EEb Tuba is an exceptional professional instrument. Constructed with a larger bore mouthpipe, the tuba produces a wider symphonic tone. Considered a "concert" model, the Besson Sovereign 981 tuba is designed for playing in the seated position. A lower position mouthpipe offers comfort to the symphonic player whether they be playing in a concert band or symphony orchestra"
