[@catjudo1]

If I still played trombone I would definitely get one of these as both a practice instrument and for informal outdoor performances. I hated the amount of money I spent getting the dents in the slide repaired! I'd still use the nice brass King for formal concerts, but I'd bet the money saved on klutz-related repairs would make a plastic horn pay for itself within three months. But the best part? I could get it in black and paint some bitchin' hot rod flames on it!

After listening a few times, I do hear that weird plastic-y sound that kid's instruments also have. Or the sound that happens when there's too much friction in a plastic tube slide, ouch But it IS still amazing. Especially if you consider that these are much lighter than a big hunk of metal

[@SpectacularName]

I would have no trust in a plastic tuba. The instrument is hugely based on resonance, and plastic just doesn't sound the same to me.

[@slutmonke]

SpectacularName well at $1400 vs $5000 for a low end brass instrument, it's still definitely going to fill an important niche.

[@SpectacularName]

You aren't wrong. If someone is serious about tuba, this isn't for them. Otherwise, I guess it's an okay starter.

[@portacole3735]

+ SpectacularName I' m going to (hopefully) be starting tuba soon (I'm 12 BTW) and do you think it would be more worth it to get one of these tubas or spend a couple grand more and get a metal one?

[@SpectacularName]

Cole Drinkwater There are several factors worth considering. How serious are you about getting into tuba? If you want to play it just for school, rent one. If this is your life's passion (which I doubt you could know), invest more. If you really must own one and aren't super serious about tuba/don't want to spend enough on a serious tuba, this might be the thing for you. I suggest that you talk to your teacher (assuming you have one) about what he or she recommends for a beginner.

[@bellaholmes2593]

Cole Drinkwater if you're just starting, ask the school if you can rent. It is better to try around and make sure the instrument fits you. If you absolutely have to buy a tuba then go with metal. But a good brand..

[@chuckspencer7733]

For kids or people that want to just play to play that would be fun, the sound of the tuba was actually pretty pure sounding, I believe the room and acoustics of the room wasn't in the tubas favor for a video, but as for total sound it was really well laid out for a plastic tuba, the trombone was the best plastic I have heard out of any instrument and the room was in favor of that one for a video, could only imagine what it sounded in person, awesome stuff guys.

[@darkgavity]

I wouldn't mind of the Tuba I use was lighter. I play in a school band and "my" tuba is school property

[@HAngeli]

Megan Fehr How does it work? Playing in a school band? This is something that exists only in USA? One must begin in which grade? You can choose the instrument or the teacher chooses for you? Why did you chose the tuba? To play tuba you must know another instrument like trumpet or something? Ok, too many questions. I'm just really curious, sounds so cool to play in a band in school...

[@youtuuba]

I bought one of the first Tiger tubas; I ordered it directly from the Chinese factory, not through a distributor, and they said I was their first customer in America (although some had been sold at music trade shows, and they could not track where those customer were from). I played it a lot, in all sorts of ensembles, and it really does work quite well, blows nicely, is as in-tune as any other tuba I have experience with, and the other musicians and conductors I have played with were happy with its sound. But I rarely play it anymore, for one simple reason. Keeping the valves working freely is a bit of a chore. The aluminum rotors inside the brass valve casings react metallurgically with each other, gradually slowing the valves down to a crawl. To get them working again requires complete disassembly of the valves, thorough cleaning, and re-lubrication. The other issue with them is that, due to the rather loosely packed wraps of the tubing, the tuba is considerably deeper, front to rear, than any other 'German rotary' tuba design in CC/BBb size. The tuba has to sit more forward on the player's lap than I find comfortable, and I am constantly conscious of some tubing jabbing me in the belly. These days, I usually just play it for a couple gigs every year, where I am expected to play it outdoors for Christmas-related programs. Compared to a brass tuba, this Tiger tuba is a joy to play in such situations. The air inside the tubing stays warmer for longer, so it stays in tube better in the cold, and also does not condense as much water from the breath, so it does not get into the 'frequent gurgle' scenario. It never feels cold to the touch like brass tubas do. The valves do not freeze up. To me, it is worth the minimal cost to have such an instrument in my arsenal for such extreme playing situations. A good thing to do with this instrument, if it will be used only on occasion, MIGHT be to store it with the valve rotors removed and stored in a box, then just put in before playing and removed again afterwards. Then, there is no need for deep, laborious cleaning to remove the results of galvanic reaction (between aluminum and brass). Just squirt a bit of valve oil on and re-assemble before playing. Since it appears that this same instrument is now being marketed under the "Cool Wind" name, I wonder if they might now be using more compatible metals in the valves?

[@TM66240]

Does the tuba Dent?

[@joecrosstfxc9566]

It probably does.

[@TM66240]

then that ruins it

[@TM66240]

i know, i play the tuba nut i wanted to know if you like set it down too hard or something, but thanks!

[@trpz555]

TM6624 That's why tuning slides were made. Every little dent makes the instrument a tiny bit smaller and therefore a little bit more sharp. Extending the tuning slides make it more flat to even all the sharpness out with the flatness.

[@FanPlastic]

1. It doesn't promote a professional performance. 2. It's super hard to tune them.

[@8789spartan]

They are mean't for student and kids who might not be able to handle a regular brass tuba or trombone, but still want to learn to play. Or for people who don't want to drop the money on a tuba/trombone just yet. I play Bari sax, and those run into the 5000 range for just a fairly solid one. I can only imagine what a full sized tuba costs. I think that it can be fun if used in certain shows, and to say that "well it doesn't look like a traditional tuba/trombone, so don't play it in front of people" is a bit elitist and kind of anti-fun.

[@MarkSmith-uo7vc]

[@dio3027]

TUNA IS HERE It depends on what you do, you can go higher but that involves adjusting you mouth. If you don't adjust your mouth and just extend the slide you will only go lower. (There are things called alternet positions)

[@lil_thunder9013]

It really depends. If you play with the sane eombrasure or whatever its lower. If you tighten you get HiGhEr. ItS HARD TO EXPLAIN BUT IN SHIRT NO

[@claytonniemann4361]

That 4th position d is lower than the 1st position f. The 4th position g is lower than the 1st position b flat. If you notice with the bugle that the military uses, there are no valves or slide positions - notes change through "tightness" of your lips. Thus you can play the cavalry charge or taps.

[@williamcawthra1629]

+ConnieVetTech I always like to think that as long as you keep your tone quality, puffing the cheeks is completely alright. Maybe its different for a brass (Plastic?), but for the saxophone family, its fine.

[@ConnieVetTech]

+William Cawthra As a Tuba player, I was taught that the correct technique was with no puffing of the cheeks. I also thought it made no difference, but I tried with puffing, and surprisingly, I get less air that way. To each his own though :)

Probably so

[@Manimal_Official]

The tuba is probably better than you give it credit for, the recording is usually what gives instruments awful sound, I would tend to blame low audio quality.

[@rainyjacktheepic]

The main reason for the plastic sound is the plastic mouthpiece. Look up tiger plastic trombone on KZbin and the first video, he uses a metal mouthpiece and it sound just shy of a full brass instrument.

[@yoniz5430]

It isn't the recording making the instruments sound awful it's because plastic instruments are terrible. You don't get the same color as an instrument made of actual brass.

[@tubaguyjon]

I have 4 complaints about the tuba as a tuba player of 6 years with experience from beginner to being in a full orchestra, 1.) The instrument seems awkward to hold/actively tune, 2.) the instrument sounds like it has a bad transition noise in between notes (compensation and slurs/glissing properly sound to be an issue), 3.) the higher register sounds to be very pushed out with the embouchure (could be you) but it sounds to have an issue past what I would comfortably put as an F directly under the top of the staff, 4.) The sound is "blurty" like that of a sousaphone, which is completely impractical for holding steady pitches.

Disease resistance in brass instruments is a myth. There was a story a couple of years ago (2010) about a trombone that was actually carrying bacteria and mold and getting its owner, a doctor, sick. He figured it out when he went on vacation without it and felt better after only a few days. You should be able to find it with a basic Google search. Gotta keep instruments clean.
