Tuba in B flat Miraphone Hagen 497B, silver plated, with 5 cylinders.

The Miraphone Hagen 497B Silver-Plated Bb Tuba is a large 6/4 instrument developed for performers who require a very structured sound and extremely precise intonation. The configuration of five cylinders provides superior technical control within the Hagen concept.

The 480 mm bell, combined with the silver-plated finish, promotes a more defined response and clear projection even in dense orchestral textures. The result is a broad yet well-defined sound, with excellent separation within the ensemble.

The 5 rotary cylinders system along with the 21.2 mm bore diameter allows for fine tuning of intonation and a homogeneous response. The vented valves improve breath stability and reduce resistance, while the spiral spring system ensures a smooth and precise action.

The nickel silver leadpipe provides rigidity and clarity in sound production, helping to maintain control and definition in a large instrument. The reference pitch at 443 Hz meets current professional standards. As it is a model without a lyre holder or strap ring, it is clearly aimed at orchestral use.
