What professionals are saying about the Meinl Weston 45SLP F Tuba
Jeffrey L. Funderburk, University of Northern Iowa
"It has been a long time since I have been so genuinely excited and impressed with an instrument. The efforts of your team have resulted in what I believe is the best new F-Tuba to enter the market in years. Congratulations!!"
Warren Deck, York Philharmonic Orchestra
"...the 45 S-LP has a great tonal range, together with superior intonation... If I was travelling doing recitals and excerpts and could only take one Tuba, it would be this Tuba... ...once this Tuba is released into the U.S., everybody will want one..."
Heiko Triebener, Bamberger Symphoniker, Melton Tuba Quartett
"...the new 45 S-LP successfully combines the virtuosi advantages of the piston valve, with the traditional, vibrant characteristic sound of Melton / Meinl-Weston....the stable, open, powerful lower register of the instrument, combined with the sheer ease of the high range makes the Meinl-Weston 45 S-LP a Tuba which suits both the soloist and the Orchestral player..."
Samuel J. Pilafian, Arizona State University
"...the more I play this Tuba, the more I love it! The range is great, the intonation is superb, and the sound is amazing!!..this is a great horn..."
Ulrich Haas, Duisburger Sinfoniker, Deutsche Oper am Rhein, Melton Tuba Quartett
"...what still impresses me with the 45 S-LP is the direct response in all dynamic levels, combined with excellent intonation without compromising a big, full sound."
