The JP078 Bb Tuba is crafted to be a well-constructed entry-level student instrument, suitable for beginners and more accomplished players, all at an attractive price/performance balance.
This tuba is designed to meet the needs of the education system and training bands, serving as an ideal student model. It is also a great option for more experienced players seeking a lightweight tuba.
Despite its affordability, the JP078 delivers a performance comparable to more expensive mini tubas, including those from Yamaha.
- At only 33" high, the JP078 is surprisingly small for a tuba being easily comparable to a euphonium in size, however despite is smaller form factor it still performs well in line with other much more expensive (and larger) models.
