MiraphoneHagen 495 Series 4-Valve 4/4 BBb Tuba Yellow Brass Lacquer
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Miraphone's Hagen 495 is a 4/4 BBb tuba with four front-position rotary valves, a yellow brass bell, and lacquer finish. It is the smallest model in the Hagen series, using an ergonomically proportioned wide-body design and a smaller .772-inch bore. Miraphone positions it for smaller symphony orchestras, ensembles, and chamber music, where its large sound, response across registers, and balanced intonation support focused playing. A case is not included.
