Yamaha YBB-632S Neo BBb Tuba - Silver Plate
Neo series BBb basses with redesigned body and handrest allow for subtly nuanced dynamics and tonal inflections.
The new standard in brass band instruments.
These new Yamaha Neo BBb basses, designed in collaboration with Simon Gresswell, meet the needs of all brass bands. The design incorporates a large 500mm bell that keeps the sound focused and clear. They deliver a rich tone and abundant volume, providing the ensemble with a solid and stable foundation.

It was an honour to be asked by Yamaha to help develop the new Neo BBb Bass.
I was looking to create an unrivalled sound base capable of holding together in all ranges and dynamics. The valve action is quiet and slick, allowing clear movement and definition. The lower register is of special quality. It is easy to produce, allowing maximum control and colour. This instrument exceeds all my expectations of a modern-day BBb Tuba.
