The Miraphone Hagen 495 tuba offers a large sound in a 4/4 BBb model. The smallest in the Hagen series, the 495 has an ergonomically proportioned design with a smaller bore that is ideal for smaller symphony orchestras, ensembles and chamber music settings. The 495 is very responsive in all registers with a balanced intonation to offer exceptional playability.

The Tuba Essentials Stand Pack includes The Hug adjustable tuba stand and The Hug stand cover. The Hug adjustable tuba stand is designed to allow the musician who may not otherwise be able to play the tuba, to experience the joy of playing the instrument. The safety-coated arms are spring loaded, to easily insert and remove the instrument from the stand, allowing a firm grip to prevent the instrument from moving while in the stand. The Hug stand can be adjusted for playing in both sitting and standing positions, while the non-marring wheels and locking brake front wheel allow easy movement and secure stationary position when needed. The tuba cover is designed to fit over the tuba while in the Hug tuba stand. Made with light sport nylon exterior, each cover is designed to keep dust off the tuba while also protecting the finish with a soft cotton flannel interior liner. Each cover has a draw string at the bottom for a nice snug fit.
