Offering a deep, resounding sound, the Bb tuba is the lowest pitched instrument in the brass family. They're the tuba you'll most likely hear in marching bands and full orchestras and are favored among amateur and professional musicians alike for their sheer power, playability and unmistakable tone. From top-of-the-line custom tubas to mid-range models and more reasonable student options, this section is jam-packed with a wide variety of Bb tubas that cater to every skill level and playing style. Bb tubas come in many different sizes, with the most common being 3/4, 4/4, 5/4 and 6/4. While there is not one tuba size that is better than another, factors like your body type and the style of music you play will give you an idea of which one is the right fit.
