Piston Valves Enable Smooth Action and Precise Tuning
The 1291 Series' four piston valves provide a light, responsive feel under the fingers. Piston valves allow for more accurate tuning and require less maintenance than rotary valves. Their smooth, precise action gives players greater control and flexibility. The 1291 Series' piston valve design, combined with its .835" bore, results in outstanding intonation for confident, pitch-perfect performance.Compact Yet Powerful 18.5" Upright Bell
Despite its space-efficient size, the 1291 Series produces a mighty tone thanks to its 18.5" upright bell. The bell's broad flare and tall profile give each note ample resonance and projection. An upright bell also provides enhanced comfort, as its weight is more evenly distributed. The 1291 Series' bell produces a balanced, focused sound with rich overtones in all registers.Durable Yet Lightweight Construction
The 1291 Series' lightweight yet robust build makes it ideal for everyone from students to professionals. Its durable yet lightweight materials keep the instrument comfortable to hold and play for hours. A thoughtfully designed balance point gives the 1291 Series an evenly weighted feel. Its compact form factor also increases portability, enabling performers to transport the tuba with ease.Protective Hardshell Case
A hardshell case is included to provide secure storage and transport for the 1291 Series. The case's durable exterior protects the tuba from damage, while padded lining cushions the instrument.
