Eastman F tuba EBF862s silver - new model

Professional silver-plated Eastman F tuba with front-action pistons and fifth rotary valve

The Eastman EBF862S Silver-Plated F Tuba is a new professional 4/4 model combining traditional brass construction with a piston and rotary valve mechanism. It is intended for tuba players seeking quick response, tonal clarity and control across different musical demands.

This version stands out for its silver-plated finish, offering a different appearance from the lacquered EBF862 model. It retains the same instrumental configuration, allowing players to choose their preferred finish without changing the fundamental technical specifications of this professional F tuba.

Its mechanism features 4 front-action pistons and a fifth rotary valve. The four pistons provide a front-action fingering layout, while the additional rotary valve expands the available combinations. This configuration is particularly useful when working on demanding passages and exploring alternative fingerings in the lower register.

The 450 mm Yellow Brass bell (17.5 inches) is part of a construction designed to deliver a clear sound with strong tonal presence. Its 4/4 size provides proportions suitable for musicians looking for an F tuba capable of handling orchestral performance, chamber music and solo repertoire.

The variable 19–20 mm bore (0.750"–0.787") completes its acoustic design. The Eastman EBF862S comes with a mouthpiece, Ultra-Pure maintenance kit and ABS case, providing accessories for regular use, instrument care and transportation.
