Eastman EBC836S Tuba Overview
The Eastman EBC836S is a professional 6/4 CC tuba inspired by the York-style orchestral tuba tradition, designed for large-ensemble settings that require a broad, centered low-brass foundation. This silver-plated instrument uses four front-action stainless steel pistons with a semi-stepped bore and a right thumb-operated fifth rotor valve through a .850 inch bore. A 20 inch gold brass bell and gold brass bottom bow contribute warmth and depth to the sound, making the EBC836S suitable for symphony orchestra, concert band, opera and ballet pit work, and chamber settings that call for a full-size CC tuba voice.

Who the EBC836S Tuba is For
The Eastman EBC836S is a professional 6/4 CC tuba for advanced and professional tubists who need a large orchestral instrument with a broad tonal profile and modern front-action valve layout. It is designed for players working in symphony orchestra, concert band, opera or ballet pit orchestra, and chamber music settings where a full, stable CC tuba sound is required.
