With this tuba, Melton Meinl Weston provides the professional tuba player with another absolute top model in addition to the 197, especially for works or orchestrations that do not call for a 5/4 Bb tuba, but for a highly flexible, secure and tonally captivating instrument with the lightest and clearest response - and of course always with the proven Melton sound with core. The instruments from the house of Melton/Meinl-Weston have been setting new standards in brass instrument making time and again for years. For good reason. Because for seven generations, the Meinl-Langhammer family has always strived to gain the best experience in the manufacturing process, to acquire a high level of manual skill and to work permanently on the development of the instruments. An outstanding level of quality is still understood as a personal commitment.
