In my opinion, a successful instrument.
Variant Lechgold BT-14/5L Bb Tuba Lacquered
This rating has been translated automatically. Original language
You have to get used to the response a little, but this is no longer a problem after 2 weeks of playing.
From my point of view the 5th valve is very helpful, especially in the low regions (contra- and subcontraoctave). It has a very full and soft sound, but can also be very breakout when played loudly, which is very nice for solos. Now to the negative arguments. It is not the lightest tuba. In addition, I had to shorten them, due to inconsistencies of the b1/b2 and f1. Ansonnsten this tuba is really recommended for beginners and advanced players.
Questions about product
Question by Frank Loewe on 03.08.2025
For standing performances: Are there eyelets on the instrument for the strap?
Answer by Musikhaus Kirstein:
This tuba has eyelets for a carrying strap. You can see these in one of the photos in the online store.
Question by Jan van Schaik on 26.03.2020
Probably a silly question: but what do YOU mean by optionally extended half/full sound (interchangeable)
Answer by Musikhaus Kirstein:
For the tuba, 2 tuning trains for the 5th valve are included. The shorter one for a semitone, the longer one for a whole tone.
This way, especially in the contra octave range, the tones can be voiced cleaner.
