It’s nearly impossible to find a true German-made 3/4 size BBb tuba with 3 piston valves these days—especially one of this quality. This is the real deal: a beautifully crafted B&S tuba made in Markneukirchen, Germany, briefly produced for Brook Mays Music Stores under the “F. Schmidt” house brand name, before Brook Mays moved production to lower-cost factories in Asia.
Don’t be fooled by the 3/4 size—this is a professional-grade instrument, perfect for anyone seeking a lighter (only 13.5 pounds), more compact horn without compromising sound or playability. Similar in style to the Miraphone 1270, Meinl Weston 11, and the Yamaha YBB-105. this model stands out with superior European craftsmanship and tone.
Why this tuba is exceptional:
• Made by B&S in Germany – not the later, lower-quality Asian versions
• Excellent playing condition – smooth valves, perfect slides
• Freshly ultrasonically cleaned – ready to play
• Only minor cosmetic dings – nothing that affects performance
• 5 water keys + marching strap rings – practical and performance-ready
• Great sound, easy to carry – ideal for students, doublers, or pros who want a compact option. This listing is for the tuba and a brand new full size gig bag.
This is one of those hidden gems that serious brass players recognize and appreciate. They truly don’t make them like this anymore!
