F Tuba

The F tuba is more commonly used in Europe, mainly as a higher, more agile version of the standard CC or BBb tuba and for the purpose of playing solos in chamber music, brass quintets, and higher tuba parts, as seen in brass bands or German bands. Its length is around 12′ feet of piping. Many european Tubists keep an F tuba as a second tuba after their CC tuba or Bb Tuba. 

They are becoming more popular in the UK for specialist tuba works and Phil Parker Ltd has the largest selection available !
