The California-Solo is a large front-piston American style F tuba for sale, ideal for playing in orchestra, in brass quintet, or for solo use with a full rich and clear tone and good response across all registers. 

This exquisite F tuba is an entirely hand-made instrument, made using hand-hammered sheet brass in Wessex Tuba’s own high-grade workshop, for a lightweight and exceptionally responsive tuba. 

Every one of our f tubas for sale is carefully, individually quality checked and play tested by a professional musician to ensure it is a pleasure to play for whoever becomes its eventual owner. 

The California-Solo is an F tuba which will be equally suitable for use by a top professional tuba player, or an advanced student.
