The JP379FF Sterling FF Tuba represents John Packer Ltd's flagship 4 inline rotary valve FF Tuba. Created in collaboration with Paul Riggett of Sterling Brass, the JP379FF represents a fusion of professional level Sterling components and design with the affordability and durability normally associated with the JP brand. Widely respected as one of the leading designers and manufacturers of brass instruments in the UK, Paul previously worked as a production manager at Boosey & Hawkes before creating Sterling brass in 1987. The JP379FF Sterling FF Tuba incorporates an exclusively designed trademark Sterling leadpipe.
Constructed from high grade 80:20 brass, the JP379FF features 4 inline rotary valves and is a full 4/4 size standing at a height of 41.7? (106cm). With a bore of 0.748" - 0.827" (19-21mm) and a bell size of 16.535" (420mm), the instrument also features carriage rings and a lyre box.
