ZO CC Tuba Thunderbird 6/4, 48cm bell - Silver-plated

The Thunderbird 6/4 ZO C Tuba is a professional model designed to offer a powerful, balanced sound with a wide projection, inspired by the legendary Chicago York instruments. Its large bore body and 6/4 design allow for a solid, stable low register with the necessary amplitude for large symphonic ensembles.

The 48 cm bell provides clear and expansive projection, while the silver-plated finish on yellow brass adds wear resistance and a brighter, more defined acoustic response. The combination of 4 front stainless steel pistons along with the 5th rotary valve ensures precise tuning, reliable mechanics, and comfortable fingering even in complex passages.

The progressive 19.4 to 21 mm tubing is designed to offer a homogeneous air column, favoring tonal stability and allowing fine control of the emission. With a height of 93 cm and a weight of 12.3 kg, the Thunderbird 6/4 achieves a balance between resonant mass and maneuverability.
