The Brass Foundation

The contrabass tuba delivers an incredibly deep and profoundly resonant tone that provides a rich bass foundation for any composition. Its heavy, majestic sound is earthy, dazzling in all registers with a unique timbre that is rounder and darker than that of the bass tuba, and less metallic than the bass or contrabass trombone. All these tonal qualities were meticulously captured at Vienna’s purpose-built Silent Stage, with its tight and controlled ambience, ensuring unparalleled clarity and authenticity.

Thunderous B(r)ass

Providing a resonance unmatched by other brass instruments, the contrabass tuba delivers the deepest and richest tones in this category – perfect for musical situations where you need massive brass parts to give the musical mood you want to create for your listeners the necessary foundation and weight.

Majestic Depth

With its massive range, the contrabass tuba is a cornerstone of orchestral music. It can provide rhythmic depth while also shining brilliantly in a solo context. Frequently used in film music, the contrabass tuba is beloved for its powerful low end, making it an indispensable part of your scoring arsenal.

Versatile & Expressive

The library features a full set of expressive and dynamic articulations, offering various short and long notes, legatos (including fast legatos), crescendos and diminuendos, sfz, sffz, pfp, flutter tongue, and half and whole tone trills. The basic playing techniques are also available as muted performances. Recording the samples relatively dry at the Silent Stage makes it possible to place them on your virtual stage and in the stereo field wherever you like, but also enables you to integrate the instrument with the Synchron Series by using the internal convolution reverb recreating Vienna’s own scoring stage, Vienna Synchron Stage.
