Why Buy

 
 
This model is called the "Handy" model, probably because it is compact enough to keep handy for any gig that you get called for. It is a BBb tuba with 4 rotary valves and the classic Meinl Weston sound. A very good value.

Meinl Weston 18 Handy Series 4-Valve 4/4 BBb Tuba
This instrument is capable of existing on two worlds. It is an excellent advanced student/intermediate horn and can also serve well as a professional instrument in many cases. This compact 4/4 tuba has a deceptively HUGE sound and great projection. With the recent change in the bell from 15.75" to 17.75" the depth of sound has increased nicely.

"The Portable Tubist"

semi-professional tuba player Classical, Brass Quintet, Dixieland Detroit, MI

I used to play on a 5/4 size horn, but I play a lot of gigs that require running around. So I was shopping for a smaller tuba when I first saw this one. To my surprise, you don't lose any volume or tone for the 3/4 size. It plays just like a larger horn, but with a brighter sound. It is now my only BBb horn. I have no regrets buying this tuba, and I definitely recommend it to any player who is often on the go.
