Eastman EBB562 Tuba Overview
The Eastman EBB562 is a 4/4-size BBb tuba built in a Germanic style with four front-action rotary valves and a .748 inch bore. Designed for players who want the response and feel of rotary valves without stepping up to a larger-bore instrument like the EBB623, the EBB562 delivers a broad, open sound with clear projection. This example was purchased directly from the manufacturer, used only for extremely light demo or display purposes, and includes the original wheeled case and original accessories, including a Laskey 30G mouthpiece.

Who the EBB562 Tuba Is For
The Eastman EBB562 is a professional-style BBb rotary-valve tuba intended for players who want a Germanic 4/4 instrument with an open, projecting sound and a manageable bore size. It is a strong fit for serious students, advancing players, and working musicians who prefer the articulation and tonal character of rotary valves for band, orchestra, and large ensemble playing.
What distinguishes the EBB562 in Eastman’s lineup is its .748 inch bore: it offers the rotary feel and breadth many players associate with larger German-style tubas, while avoiding the larger bore of the EBB623 for those who want a slightly more compact, efficient setup.
