Product Information

John Packer JP078 Bb Tuba

The JP078 Bb Tuba provides a well-constructed entry level student instrument for beginners and more accomplished players at an attractive price/performance balance.

This instrument clearly has a place in the education system and with training bands and works well not only as a student model but also for the more ‘mature’ player looking for a lightweight tuba.

You will find its performance is comparable with that of the more expensive Yamaha mini tuba.
