Classic Cantabile Brass T-180 3/4 Bb Tuba

Powerful Bb Tuba With Clean Response!

The Classic Cantabile Brass T-180 is a high-quality 3/4 Bb tuba for wind orchestras, music schools, bands, brass ensembles and ambitious beginners. With 4 rotary valves, a lacquered brass finish, nickel-silver inner and outer slides and a nickel-silver leadpipe, this brass instrument combines a full, rounded tonal character with reliable mechanics and comfortable handling. The bell with Ø 37.5 cm and the bore with Ø 18 mm support a powerful bass foundation, while the robust hard case with transport wheels makes the trip to rehearsal or performance easier.

Tested Quality

To ensure you enjoy your instrument for a long time, all wind instruments are inspected by Kirstein quality control. This is carried out in our master-run instrument workshop by qualified instrument makers. We guarantee the flawless condition on a certificate that is included with the instrument.

Tone and Response

The T-180 is designed for a comfortable, clean response and delivers the typical warm, carrying tuba sound. As a Bb tuba it is ideal for low voices in ensembles, for symphonic wind orchestra, folk music, brass line-ups and for teaching. The full tonal character gives your playing a solid foundation without making control of tone production and dynamics difficult.

Mechanics and Materials

The 4 rotary valves allow practical intonation and expand playing possibilities compared to simpler student instruments. Nickel-silver inner and outer slides stand for wear-resistant longevity and pleasantly precise operation. The nickel-silver leadpipe underlines the robust construction designed for long-term use. The lacquered brass finish provides a classic, glossy look and protects the surface in everyday musical use.

3/4 Build With Good Control

Thanks to the 3/4 size the Classic Cantabile Brass T-180 remains more manageable than large concert models while still delivering enough sound for demanding rehearsals, performances and lessons. With a height of 91 cm and a weight without case of approx. 8 kg it offers a solid balance of resonance, playing comfort and a controllable form. That makes it interesting for younger players, returning players and ensembles looking for a reliable Bb tuba with a good price-performance ratio.

Transport and Protection

The delivery includes a mouthpiece and a hard case. The case reliably protects the instrument during storage and transport. The integrated transport wheels make trips to the music school, rehearsal room or stage noticeably more comfortable. This keeps the tuba safely stored while remaining flexible to use.

Deep foundation, reliable mechanics and comfortable transport for your playing!
