Tuba Charm Sterling Silver | Sousaphone Charm | Tube Jewelry

A three-dimensional tuba -- the largest brass instrument -- miniaturized in solid .925 sterling silver and Made in USA. At 3.1 grams and 1/2 inch by 1 inch, every coil of tubing, valve, and bell flare is captured in silver.

The tuba's complex form -- multiple loops of tubing, three or four valves, and a wide bell -- is one of the most challenging musical instruments to reproduce in miniature. The lost-wax casting process fills each tube passage, and the hand-finishing process navigates between tight curves. Eight or more hours of finishing time per batch ensures each tuba charm is polished even in its most recessed areas.

The tuba provides the harmonic foundation for concert bands, brass ensembles, and marching bands. Often underappreciated, it is the instrument that makes every other part sound better. This charm gives the tuba its due in precious metal. A sterling silver jump ring is included and attached.

The gift that every tuba player deserves but never expects. Perfect for band directors, marching band members, music teachers, or anyone who chose the instrument nobody else wanted and discovered they loved it. A meaningful band camp keepsake or music scholarship celebration charm.
