Eastman F tuba EBF861 lacquered - new model

Eastman EBF861 lacquered F tuba with front-action pistons and fifth rotary valve

The Eastman EBF861 Lacquered F Tuba is a new model featuring four front-action pistons and a fifth rotary valve. It is designed for tuba players looking for an F instrument with different fingering possibilities for orchestral repertoire, chamber music and solo performance.

One of its main features is the four front-action pistons and fifth rotary valve configuration. This arrangement combines the familiar operation of front-action pistons with an additional mechanism that expands the available fingering combinations, particularly useful for certain notes in the lower register.

The 420 mm bell provides a wide opening for the air column. Its diameter forms part of the instrument's acoustic design and contributes to sound projection and the development of the characteristic tone of an F tuba.

The variable 18–19 mm bore is another defining specification of this model. This measurement refers to the internal diameter of the tubing in the specified sections and is useful when comparing the instrument with other F tubas.

The Eastman EBF861 features a lacquered finish and comes with a mouthpiece, Ultra-Pure maintenance kit and ABS hard case. These accessories provide the basic equipment needed for playing, maintaining and transporting the instrument.
