STUDIO CONTRABASS TUBA

Studio Contrabass Tuba - The Foundation of Brass Instruments

The contrabass tuba offers an incredibly deep and resonant tone that enhances any composition with a rich bass foundation. Its heavy, majestic sound is earthy and impresses in all registers with a unique timbre that sounds rounder and darker than that of the bass tuba and less metallic than that of the contrabass trombone. All of these sonic qualities were perfectly captured in the Silent Stage with its controlled acoustics.

Thunderous Brass sound

With a resonance unmatched by any other brass instrument, the contrabass tuba delivers the deepest, richest tones of this family of instruments - perfect for musical situations where you need to add the necessary foundation and weight to massive brass passages.

Gigantic Presence

With its enormous range, the contrabass tuba is a cornerstone of orchestral music. It can provide rhythmic depth as well as shine in a solo context. Away from a traditional classical context, it is also regularly used in film music, where it is also valued for its powerful depth.

Versatile and expressive

This library offers a complete set of expressive and dynamic articulations: short and long notes, legato (including fast legato), crescendos and decrescendos, sfz, sffz, pfp, flutter tongue, and half- and whole-tone trills. The basic playing techniques are also available in a muted version. Thanks to the dry recording in the Silent Stage, the sounds can be precisely placed in the stereo panorama and virtually in any room. In addition, the internal convolution reverb with impulses from Stage A of the Vienna Synchron Stage enables the instruments placed there to sound perfectly together with those of the Synchron Series.
