Zo 5000 Tuba experience?

Post by hrender »

Anyone have any playing time on the Zo 5000 offered by Mack Brass? If so, any thoughts you'd want to share? I asked this on the old board, but the only one with any real experience was Tom M.

I played it at the 2020 Army Band conference and I really liked it. Two friends, a pro tubist and a band director tubist, concurred. It was responsive, great sound, consistent, and easy low range. I didn't try it out with a tuner, but it sounded good to me.

Just my experience as well. If I wanted a larger tuba again it would be a consideration.
