BBb 6/4 Compensated Tuba ‘Leviathan’ TB681HP
The first large 6/4 compensated BBb tuba ever made to put a foundation under any band like no BBb Bass ever has before, the BBb 6/4 Compensated Tuba ‘Leviathan’ TB681HP’s large bows produce a richer and fuller tone than a regular bass and without the amount of effort from the player normally required on the bottom part - while still having the agility required for fast passages and using the usual fingering of a compensated bass tuba.
