Yamaha YBB 105 Compact Bb Tuba, Silver Plate

The Yamaha YBB 105 Compact Bb Tuba is a lightweight student instrument suited to younger players and school bands. Its reduced weight makes it easier to hold during lessons and rehearsals, helping you focus on breathing and technique rather than supporting a heavy instrument. Despite its compact feel, it produces a broad, full sound with an easy response that supports steady progress.

A 16.8 mm bore balances quick airflow with a strong, centred tone, while the extended leadpipe taper supports accurate intonation across the range. Hand-lapped pistons ensure smooth, quiet action, making note changes feel controlled and consistent. The hand-finished slides achieve an airtight fit without sacrificing movement, so tuning adjustments stay simple. Built with a silver plated finish and durable brace design, the YBB 105 is made to handle regular practice and transport. A mouthpiece is included, giving you everything you need to get started straight away.
