Thomann "Little Bear" Bb-Tuba Set

7.111 AED

Easy to “bear”

If you’ve ever had a full-size tuba in your hands, you will know: These instruments are not only big, but also very heavy. Children and adults of a more slender stature often find them too heavy, in fact. The Thomann Bb tuba “Little Bear” is an exception: At just over 7kg, it combines a pleasantly light weight with a sonorous tone, thus doing full justice to its name. Incidentally, this doesn’t mean that you have to compromise in terms of features, as it comes with four valves and an adult bore.

Fully-fledged design

The Thomann Bb tuba “Little Bear” is a compact tuba in the common Bb tuning. This means that it can take over the bass function in all ensembles. The body is made of brass, the leadpipe of gold brass. It features four rotary valves, which are activated without play or rattle via the coil spring mechanism using ball joints. The bore measures 18mm up to the third valve and 19mm from the fourth valve. The outer slides are made from nickel silver, while the inner slides are made of brass. The bell, with its diameter of 38 centimetres, is still on the compact side. The scope of delivery also includes a mouthpiece and a roller case.

Not only for younger players

As is clear from its dimensions and weight, the Thomann Bb tuba “Little Bear” is especially ideal for young people that are still growing up and for smaller musicians – in short, for everyone who isn’t able to lift a heavy instrument (or just doesn’t want to). What’s really practical for different sizes of hands is the adjustable thumb rest. Nevertheless, the Little Bear offers a normal blowing resistance thanks to its relatively large bore. The compact bell produces a more slender tone and less volume than, for example, a 5/4 instrument. That is why it is great news not only for neighbours with sensitive ears but also for those who play in smaller ensembles.

About Thomann Wind Instruments

Alongside other famous brands, Thomann wind instruments, exclusively built by renowned manufacturers, are now a large part of the range of products they sell. With unbeatable price-performance ratios, Thomann wind instruments are the obvious first choice for students and beginners - and more. The technical features and uncompromising sound quality they offer are usually reserved for much more expensive instruments, belonging to the professional market segment.

A considerate colleague

Thanks to its low price, the Little Bear is ideal for ambitious beginners looking for an instrument that combines a light weight with a rich, sonorous sound. With these features, you can play this tuba for a lifetime and as your requirements become more demanding, you can keep this good-sounding and handy instrument as a backup. There are occasions when the power of a 45cm bell isn’t needed, especially in smaller ensembles – in these instances, the Thomann Bb tuba “Little bear” will ensure that you don’t drown out your colleagues.

B Tuba Little Bear

Tubonke 03.03.2018

Ein sehr handliches, gut verarbeitetes Instrument zu einem interessanten Preis!
Vermutlich konzipiert vor allem für Jugendliche Einsteiger, aber auch für
Senioren(wie in meinem Fall), die es leid sind, über 10 kg schwere Kanonen
zu stemmen. Intonation und Ansprache tadellos. Eine Tuba, die im Quintett
Verwendung findet und sich sicherlich auch in größerer Besetzung durchsetzen kann.

léger pour jouer debout, facilité de jeu, mais manque de résonnance surtout dans les graves

Little Bear

CooLouis 04.08.2019

… die Tuba ist ideal für Anfänger aber auch Wechselspieler und
leicht im Handling. Das einzige Problem ist der Koffer, da er doppelt so schwer ist wie das Instrument und daher für ein Kind nicht zumutbar ist. Es gehört bei diesem Produkt ein Gigbag verwendet, wie es in der Beschreibung angeführt ist (!Leichtkoffer!) Bitte bei der Produktbeschreibung ändern, darauf hinweisen oder Geigbag als Alternative gleich beim Kauf anbieten!

Merveilleuse prise de contact

michel tuba 20.02.2019

J'ai acheté ce modèle pour avoir un tuba petit, léger et "passe partout" .
Après quelques heures d'essai, c'est que du bonheur:
ergonomie, justesse et même le son étonnant pour un si petit gabarit.La mécanique à palettes est agréable en ce début d'existence...
Je ne peux que recommander ce modèle pour un élève débutant le tuba basse ou un adulte qui cherche un tuba compact et léger...Le rapport qualité/prix est excellent
