Tuba in C Thunderbird 6/4 - Lacquered - 48cm bell

The La Tuba en Do ZO Thunderbird 6/4 lacada is a large-caliber model designed for musicians seeking a deep and warm sound with broad projection. Inspired by the classic Chicago York models, this version features a lacquered finish that provides a softer and rounder timbral character, while maintaining the characteristic power of the 6/4 format.

The 48 cm bell offers a balanced and stable response, while the lacquered finish on yellow brass contributes to a warmer resonance and a slightly darker tone than its silver-plated equivalent. The ensemble provides a dense and homogeneous sound, ideal for orchestral situations requiring a compact and well-integrated low register.

The system combines 4 front pistons made of stainless steel with a 5th rotary valve, resulting in precise, comfortable, and reliable mechanics throughout the range. The progressive tubing from 19.4 to 21 mm favors a stable air column and controlled emission in wide dynamics.
