For sale is the ubiquitous Yamaha YBB-321 BBb 4 valve 4/4 Tuba. This is the purple logo variant, made in Japan in the mid 1980’s. It has 4 piston valves in the upright position, .728-.768 bore, 17.5” bell, is 40” tall, and weighs 23 lbs. It’s a full size Tuba, and it feels and sounds that way. It has a big clear tone from top to bottom, and plays in tune without having to manipulate the slides. This is a great intermediate level horn, tough enough to handle the abuse of the school system, but a great player for anyone of any age in concert bands, wind ensembles ect. This horn was professionally overhauled in December, including an ultrasonic bath. It has good valve compression, responsiveness, and all slides pull with relative ease. It has its share of cosmetic wear, but overall the lacquer is in great condition for its age, the bell is in great shape and it’s free of any cracks. The only notable dent is at the bottom curve of the bow, seen in the last two pics. This is a great horn- a solid reliable player that will last for years to come. Included is a ProTec C240 gig bag and an Adamson 24AW mouthpiece, both purchased new in December.
