The JP379 Sterling B Tuba is much like its larger brother, the JP379 Sterling BB Tuba, but slightly smaller at 3/4 size rather than a full 4/4. Still benefiting from the high specification of John Packer's flagship line of rotaty valve tubas, the JP379 Sterling B Tuba has been designed and manufactured in close collaboration with Paul Riggett of Sterling Brass. 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 JP379 Sterling B Tuba incorporates an exclusively designed trademark Sterling leadpipe. The JP Sterling range of tubas represents a fusion of professional level Sterling components and design with the affordability and durability normally associated with the JP brand.
