Hand-built by the legendary Meinl Weston factory, the 2141 is famous for playing much larger than a standard Eb tuba. What makes this specific horn even more exceptional is its history—it is an Ex-USAF instrument, meaning it was vetted and maintained to perform at the highest national level for a premier military ensemble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe see a ton of these go to collegiate players, British brass band musicians, and gigging professionals who need the agility and upper register of an Eb tuba, but still want the massive, room-filling bottom end that can anchor a large ensemble. Because this tuba is completely \"bone stock\" and features a massive 5\/4 body, you are getting an instrument that truly blurs the line between a nimble solo horn and a full-time orchestral foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMassive 5\/4 Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eUnlike many compact Eb tubas, the 2141 is a true 5\/4 size instrument.
