CC 4/4 Rotary Tuba ‘Mahler’ – TC470

Inspired by the precision of classic German engineering, the ‘Mahler’ (TC470) is a professional-grade cc rotary tuba built to serve as a versatile orchestral workhorse; delivering unparalleled tone and playability. 

It features five highly responsive nickel silver rotary valves with a robust linkage system, ensuring a lifetime of dependable performance in both quintet and symphonic settings. 

This cc rotary tuba for sale stands out due to its focused 16.75” bell, which provides a centered, clear projection that avoids the diffuse sound often associated with larger 4/4 models.

The combination of a gold brass bell and leadpipe ensures a rich harmonic profile, while the inclusion of removable Z-valves makes deep maintenance straightforward.

Complete with a Wessex HB mouthpiece and a molded ABS case, the Mahler is a formidable alternative to high-priced European brands.
