Eastman F tuba EBC867 Lacquered

The new Eastman 4/4 F tuba with six rotary valves in a 4+2 configuration

The Eastman EBC867 Lacquered F Tuba is a new Eastman model featuring 6 front-action rotary valves (4+2) and a 4/4-size construction. It is designed for tuba players looking for an F instrument with alternative fingering options for orchestral repertoire, chamber music and solo performance.

Its most distinctive feature is the arrangement of four main rotary valves and two additional valves. This 4+2 system expands the available fingering combinations, allowing players to select alternative fingerings for certain notes, particularly in lower-register passages requiring precise control.

The Eastman EBC867 features a 420 mm Yellow Brass bell, equivalent to 16.5 inches. Combined with its 4/4 size, this diameter provides a configuration designed to support a full-bodied sound and tonal presence while retaining the characteristics of an F tuba.

The 18–21 mm bore (0.708"–0.826") forms part of the instrument's acoustic design. This variation in tubing diameter influences airflow and is an important aspect of its construction.

The clear lacquer finish allows the natural appearance of the Yellow Brass to remain visible. Eastman also supplies a mouthpiece, Ultra-Pure maintenance kit and ABS case, providing essential accessories for everyday use, care and transportation.
