In collaboration
with world-renowned tubist Harvey Phillips, Holton sought
to create an instrument worthy of the talents of the great
artist who would play it. Working on the first tuba created
entirely on computer, Holton engineers were able to reproduce
their intended designs more accurately than ever before possible.
The result is a tuba that is ideal for the majority of the
world's tuba repertoire from orchestra, band, wind ensemble,
brass choir, brass quintet and jazz ensemble. Featuring the
sought-after American taper design, the instrument produces
an air column that exits the valve section through a perfectly
smooth and uninterrupted path all the way to the bell, resulting
in an incredibly pure C tuba sound suited for the soloist.
Harvey Phillips says of his instrument, “The Holton TU330CC
tuba gives players immediate response with a subtle resistance
that allows performers flexibility and control of every tone.
Players are able to apply personal nuance to every music discipline,
whether technical or lyrical. Players will be able to utilize
their full range from low to high.”
