Well-equipped all round

As a typical student model for both ambitious, discriminating beginners and advanced users alike, the Thomann Bb tuba model "Student PRO" has it all. Equipped with four piston valves, a spiral pressure mechanism, and free-moving ball joints, the tuba has the distinction of being a compact and thus student-friendly design. The bell measures 400mm in diameter and the bore 20mm, and the Thomann "Student PRO" model's moderate length of 802mm together with its manageable weight of 8.8kg make it an easy-to-handle wind instrument for covering the low end. High-quality materials are also used in its production, with the tuba featuring a gold brass leadpipe, brass inner slides, and nickel silver outer slides, while a clear lacquer finish adds the final elegant touch.

Thomann "Student PRO" Bb tuba

Hitting the right note every time

This instrument focuses on delivering a pleasurable playing experience – something that can only be achieved in conjunction with decent intonation and tuning – and is sure to impress with a good response across all registers. Courtesy of the fourth valve, more complex fingerings can also be used to balance the tone and achieve critical notes. The "Student PRO" plays cleanly and quietly, with the valves benefitting from a sufficient application of oil in order to ensure pitch-perfect notes – such as the F and A – from the very first time it is blown. The Thomann tuba prides itself on these positive attributes, which come courtesy of the high-quality workmanship but without the associated high price tag. Nevertheless, the winning feature here has to be the astonishing sound (we are talking about music, after all!), which is balanced, warm, and luxuriant, despite the tuba's compact dimensions.

A great first or backup tuba

The compact dimensions and comparatively low weight of the Thomann "Student PRO" Bb tuba make it the ideal choice for students who are not yet fully grown. Although by no means an instrument for six or eight-year-olds, the "Student PRO" can be easily mastered by adolescents and smaller adults. The tuba will make a good impression both in music schools and conservatoires, and deliver a harmonious performance in wind orchestras, military marching bands, and even in seated formations. Versatility ranks among the instrument's outstanding features, ensuring that the tubist suffers no loss or impairment of extremely valuable equipment when performing on musically accompanied raft or boat trips, at weddings, hen/stag parties, or other similarly jovial events.

Beautiful
Brendan4702 24.11.2021
Have been on the lookout for a B-Flat Tuba while studying a degree, I needed a slightly more affordable Tuba. Thankfully, I found Thomann. I wasn't sure at first, I didn't let the overwhelming positive reviews cloud my thinking. In the end, I bought the Student Pro B-Flat Tuba, it sounds amazing and rich...

Every time I put the Tuba down I want to play it again, it is fantastically crafted, truly beautiful. The valve keys work very smoothly and feel well lubricated. It was evident the tuning slides had been greased however put some more on when it arrived.

When it came, I unboxed plenty of protective packaging, parcel came a tad later than the timeframe specified but it was only by 15 minutes but had been told between 9-3, on a pallet and I had been excited waiting for it to arrive, was finally relaxed when it did come.

I bought the bundle with all the items provided, the case came looking really impressive and professional, with a zip compartment with marching belt which looks good quality.

This is a genuine review and I have not been pressured to make it. I was amazed with the customer service I was given, constantly wishing to help. Only problem I had was to enquire about the lacquer on the Tuba, I couldn't get an English fluent speaking member of staff who was able to understand my question.

This is ok however as I feel amazed by my products I received. You deserve way more stars than I can give!!!

Bravo!

Great Little B Flat

Great value and excellent free blowing low range make this a useful second instrument to have.The only issue is the strap hooks which in my opinion are useless for marching.

Naja, da musste was nachgebessert werden!
Walter L. 732 29.08.2013
Ich hatte mir die Tuba im Lager abgeholt, vor Ort ausgepackt und nach evtl. Beschädigungen untersucht, konnte nichts finden, also packte ich sie in den Koffer und fuhr den rel. weiten Weg zurück nach Holzkirchen (270 km).
Zu Hause, beim richtigen Testen und einstellen der Stimmzüge bemerkte ich, dass das 2. Ventil viel schwergängiger war als die anderen 3 Ventile. Ich ölte daraufhin die Maschine, aber es trat keine Besserung ein, im Gegenteil, mir tat sogar nach einiger Zeit der Finger für dieses 2. Ventil weh vom drücken!!!
Ich bin da wirklich auch nicht zu pingelig, weiß auch, dass bei diesem günstigen Preis die Maschine nicht so gut laufen kann wie z.B. bei meiner Melton-Tuba, aber dafür habe ich sie mir ja auch gekauft, als zweite Tuba, für etwas gefährlichere Geschäfte, wie z.B. Flossfahrten, Hochzeiten etc.! Konzerte spiele ich mit der Melton. Ich weiß, von was ich spreche, spiele seit 33 Jahren Tuba und das nicht schlecht!
Also telefonierte ich mit der Brass-Abteilung von Thomann und machte gleich wieder einen Termin aus zum Überprüfen und Überholen meines neuen Instruments... der Mitarbeiter stellte gleich fest, dass ich Recht hatte mit der Schwergängigkeit des 2. Ventils. Er sagte mir noch, es könne schon ein bisschen dauern, weil er die Maschine zerlegen muß zum nachschleifen und auch bei 2 Ventilen das Lagerspiel nachstellen müsse. Ich stimmte natürlich zu, jetzt war ich schon mal da, bevor ich den weiten Weg ein drittes Mal auf mich nehme!
Ich schaute mich in der Zwischenzeit im unteren Thomannhaus um und aß zu Mittag, kam dann nach der vereinbahrten Zeit zurück ins Serviscenter, wo er mit meiner Tuba auch schon auf mich wartete. Er erklärte mir was er alles gemacht hatte um die Fehler zu beheben, ich testete daraufhin die Tuba und was soll ich Ihnen sagen, die Maschine lief eins a, "fast" so gut wie bei meiner Melton!

Fazit:
Dank Ihres sehr qualifizierten und netten Mitarbeiters hatte sich mein anfänglicher Zorn über dieses Thema verzogen, weil ich erstaund war, dass er es so gut hingebracht hatte! Daraufhin verabschiedete ich mich und ärgerte mich gar nicht mehr so sehr über den noch bevorstehenden Weg nach Hause!
Ich spielte in der Zwischenzeit schon einige Einsätze und die Qualität der Maschine blieb gleichbleibend gut.
Ich habe jetzt rel. viel geschrieben, aber dass musste ich loswerden, wenn ich die Tuba schon bewerten soll!

Danke noch mal an Ihren Mitarbeiter, mit freundlichen Grüßen
Walter Lankes

un petit tuba qui sonne vraiment bien
Pascal7039 02.01.2014
si vous chercher un tuba , pas chère , qui sonne bien et qui n'est pas trop grand , je peut que le conseiller , en résumant le tout , c'est un plaisir de jouer avec cet instrument
si certain pourrais dire que la finition n'est pas top , certe , sauf si on met le nez directement devant la je veut bien , mais a ce prix la , aucune autre marque n'y arriverai a le faire
un juste milieu entre les caractéristiques et le prix pour ce tuba
autant il est puissant , autant il peut être jouer avec beaucoup de couleur dans le son
s'adapte très bien a la musique classique comme a la musique d'harmonie
après avoir essayer pas mal de tuba chez thomann ce jour la , pas loin de 4 heures a me faire plaisir assis dans la salle , je n'ai pas a regretter mon choix , et d'autre musicien fin connaisseur me le confirme aussi . essayer par vous même directement au magasin en le comparent avec d'autre tuba
cordialement pascal
