HOLTON TU330CCSPC Details
pictured above TU330CC
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.”

The Harvey Phillips model Holton is the best tuba I've ever played. The bell has incredible acoustics that make the horn project like crazy. It is very easy to control, so going from ppp to fff feels simple and secure. The clear focus of tone from the bore size matched with the amazing bell gives it the ideal combination of articulate clarity and full volume. I like the BBb since I play trombone and euphonium as well, but the CC is just as great as the BBb. Its compact size is perfect. The Phillips tuba works for me in any ensemble it is really versatile, and it records very well, too. The response and pitch is even throughout the range. I prefer to tune it with the 4th valve pulled out a lot and using it only for low Eb and down. The tuning works better for me with 1st 3rd, and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd combinations. Don't be fooled by the bore size and all that 3 4, 4 4 , 5 4, 6 4 stuff this is a full size tuba with a big sound! As one of the most sought after tubists ever for orchestral, chamber, solo, and commercial music, Harvey Phillips knew what he was doing when he designed this instrument. He's done it all, and his unmatched experience has produced a tuba that works well in every playing situation. This is a fantastic horn. I always get compliments playing the Phillips tuba!
