Frequently Asked Questions
The Salzburg sits below the Professional in terms of materials and finishing, but retains Schagerl’s core design principles, offering a great balance of quality and affordability.
The extra valve provides a more seamless transition between registers and allows for some unique low-range passages, but the overall valve action is consistent with Schagerl’s quality.
A medium-depth cup mouthpiece in the 3C to 5C range will likely complement the tuba’s tone and response best, allowing you to fully utilize its capabilities.
