B&S-F-Tuba BS3099QW_SPE-1-0GB -Advanced- silver plated, 6/4 size, Height: approx. 37.8 / 96 cm, 5 rotary valves, 0.768 - 0.827 / 19,5 - 21 mm bore, 3B™ linkage system, 6th valve as a quint valve (0.945 / 24 mm) on the other side of the main tuning slide for right hand thumb operation, trigger on the 1st, 2nd and 4th valve, main tuning slide and branch made from sheet metal, bell Ø 16.5 / 42 cm, gold brass leadpipe, yellow brass body, incl. gig bag. For the first time, B&S offers an F tuba with a standard quint valve for a better and easier low register. The Advanced is the progressive version of the established B&S model 3099/2W. Prof. Walter Hilgers was the original idea giver for this project! The implementation has now been successfully completed with Sebastian Wagemann (Komische Oper Berlin, UdK Berlin). By the way, the slanted 1st valve slide is not only a striking feature of the new model, in combination with the narrow slide bow it results in an extended playing range, as well as by the standard triggers at the 1st, 2nd and 4th valve - Advanced all along the line!
