Finally: the flexible BBb tuba for orchestral use. Melton Meinl Weston provides the professional tuba player with another absolute top model in addition to the 197, especially for works or orchestrations that do not call for a 5/4 BBb tuba, but for a highly flexible and, secure instrument with the lightest and clearest response – and of course always with the typical Melton Meinl Weston sound with its defined core.
