Customer ratings for Classic Cantabile MardiBrass Plastic Bb Tuba Red

I got tuba 2 weeks ago.
It is 3/4 size Bb tuba and it is smaller that I was expecting. Mechanically it is nicely done and all 4 valves works nicely and they are made like in real tubas.
The bag is very light and nicely done. There is a very long zip to close instrument bag. That might be a problem after a few years use.
The sound is ok, better than I expected, and valves work smoothly.
While playing in a military band you have to play quite loud to to get enough volume. This is compared to my other tuba which is big B&S.
I will use this tuba while practicing and when we have small gigs. This kind of use it is perfect for me. There is a good value for money.
I recommend this tuba also for juniors to be a first instrument.
Thank you

I bought this tuba as a second instrument and am very positively surprised, it has a very nice and full sound! The 5 slides can be pulled out, which makes it easy to clean the instrument. 5 slides can be pulled out, which makes it easy to clean the instrument. 5 slides can be pulled out, which makes it easy to clean the instrument. 5 slides can be pulled out, which makes it easy to clean the instrument. 5 slides can be pulled out. All in all I am very satisfied so far, the delivery was also very professional on a pallet, the valves also make a very good impression to me, actually just like they are on my brass tuba, all in all I am very satisfied, how robust it really is will be shown in the future, Mfg Rudl.

I ordered the tuba because I was looking for a light instrument after my slipped disc.
I previously had a sousaphone.
What can I say, the tuba is very light and has a great tone and response.
I play in a Guggenmusik band, so I only play seasonally 😉

I have absolutely no problems playing a clean tone with the instrument.
Just right for my needs.

I would buy it again at any time or recommend it to others.
Thank you for the fast processing, delivery and service

Ergonomic, lightweight, great sound. The first part of the tube and the brass machine have a great impact on the sound. I recommend a brass mouthpiece for an even better sound. Ideal for beginners looking for a quality instrument, or for professionals (like me) who play a lot and need to have an instrument always at hand.
The only flaw: the water valves. I had to fix them myself to stop it from leaking. I would advise the manufacturers to maybe add a cork seal, which should solve the problem (I solved it by attaching a chair felt).

I received this tuba very quickly after my order, a good point, well packaged, the case is of good quality with strap to carry it on your back or handle plus rollers, good.
The instrument itself is very nice, very light, and the sound is amazing, very similar to a brass tuba, easy to play, very soft valves.
The movable slides are hard to find, three on the bell and one on the bottom, there are three, that's the one in the middle. There are three water drains, but you still have to empty the tubes regularly.
I'm very happy at the moment, we'll see how time goes....

In contrast to CoolWind tubas certainly the better choice, because the valves in metal design are significantly better. As a second or Spasstuba with good price-performance ratio an excellent choice.also recommended for young people, because the instrument is light. The instrument in matte black color looks really cool and I use it at funerals. Powerful sonorous sound, but can not compete with an instrument many thousands more expensive. For this, however, you can use it in rain and snow or even when bathing as an easy-care instrument.

Have the tuba now for 4 weeks. All promised features fulfilled the instrument.
Certainly not to be compared with a 3/4 tuba. But convinced by low weight for marching use, and also
the sound is round. In the higher registers it gets tight. But all around a tuba for normal use very suitable.

Perfect instrument for practicing, I have shoulder problems and the weight of this instrument is really good for me.

Unfortunately it is very complicated to drain the water out of the baffles, the water keys are not enough to drain the water completely and unfortunately not all baffles come out of their pipes. and an instruction manual in terms of what to get out of the baffles would have been very helpful.

If you have any tips for these drawbacks, I will be happy to implement them.

Very light (even with case), looks very good.

And responds well. Nice instrument to inspire young people for tuba

Perfect packaging and shipping!
The instrument corresponds exactly to the specifications given by the company.
The tuba in Bb is absolutely useful for anyone who wants to start learning to play a wind instrument.
Highly recommended!

Good morning, I bought a black plastic tuba, I was very satisfied with both the size and the sound that even those who do not have a suitable physis to approach this instrument, also the delivery times are as indicated, the only defect: in the packaging, although the plastic hooks are present, there are no straps to transport the instrument with the shoulder bag.

A versatile instrument with a round, powerful sound. I find it very comfortable. Very light and comfortable. The well-shaped case is very useful.

I bought this tuba to play with the band at parades. I normally play a professional 6/4 tuba in C, but it is not suitable for walking. This tuba, despite being a 3/4 tuba, has good emission in the different registers. I immediately used my usual Bach 7 mouthpiece to get the best out of the instrument. It was already used on the Parade and is really easy to carry. The 4 pistons work well. The only shortcoming I have found is the extreme difficulty in pulling out the pump of the second piston. Unfortunately these are the problems with plastic, but with a lot of patience I managed it.
I recommend buying this tool for use on the road.
