Wessex BBb junior tuba Imp. TB330

A lightweight junior tuba designed for students and younger players

The Wessex Imp TB330 Junior BBb Tuba is designed to make the first stages of learning the tuba more comfortable for children, students and beginners. Its lightweight construction and reduced dimensions make it easier to hold and control than a larger conventional tuba.

With a height of 825 mm and an approximate weight of 6.4 kg, it is particularly manageable for lessons, rehearsals, school bands and mobile performances. It is also a practical choice for adult players who find a full-size tuba too heavy or difficult to handle.

The 368 mm bell produces a balanced and pleasant tone with enough presence for student bands and ensemble playing. Its 16.8 mm bore is designed to provide an accessible response, helping developing musicians achieve a stable sound from the early stages of learning.

The TB330 has three stainless steel piston valves with nylon guides for smooth and quiet operation. Its nickel brass leadpipe, all-nickel tuning slides and nickel strengthening plates provide additional durability for regular use in music schools, conservatoires and youth bands.

Marching hooks allow the instrument to be used with a suitable strap or support system when standing. It is supplied with a small-rim JT mouthpiece to make embouchure placement easier for younger players, together with a hard latched ABS case fitted with wheels.
