Frequently Asked Questions
It's a custom voicing by Andreas Hofmeier, resulting in a darker, richer tone with improved projection and a more focused fundamental – a noticeable departure from standard B&S tubas.
Nickel silver slides require regular cleaning and lubrication to prevent sticking; a light oiling every few weeks is recommended to maintain smooth action.
Gold brass is relatively resistant, but avoiding acidic environments and consistent wiping after playing will help preserve the finish and prevent unwanted discoloration.
