![]() I started my career as a CC tuba guy, but this tuba is now my go-to horn for most stuff now. An interesting side note: I Velcro down the 4th valve and pull the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th valve slides to produce a passable CC tuba for the Clarinet Polka tuba encore that we perform on True North Brass gigs. I am hampered only by my lack of finger dexterity in the extreme low register. ![]() Enter the 822 F, Yamaha’s flagship tuba in my opinion! It does almost everything. With the development of the 621 F tuba by Yamaha, I thought I had finally found what I was looking for, except I discovered it was a bit small for some of the things that I wanted to do with it. My investigation into the world of F tubas began with the usual German suspects (Alexander, B & S, Meinl Weston), and while they all sounded great, (particularly the Alex), I was never comfortable with the low register - a common complaint amongst some tuba players.
