Wagner Tuba Standard

Since the year 2000, Vienna Instruments has sampled every instrument of the symphonic orchestra, and many more, to the utmost detail. For a single instrument, like the solo violin in the Solo Strings I Collection, it took more than one year of ongoing recording sessions in a custom-built studio facility, the Silent Stage, to produce over 40,000 flawless samples – an unprecedented amount of nuanced articulations, not available elsewhere. Today, the Vienna Super Package includes more than two million samples.

As the name suggests, this instrument was designed by Richard Wagner for his “Ring des Nibelungen”. Since their introduction into the orchestra they have been used in pairs. Because the Wagner tuba has a horn mouthpiece it is played by hornists. Playing technique and position underscore the fact that the instrument is molded entirely on the French horn.

The flexibility, authenticity, musicality and sound quality of samples are just a few reasons why Oscar and Emmy winning composers, Grammy winning artists and music producers all over the globe, including hobbyists and music educators, rely on Vienna Instruments. Every collection comes with both the Vienna Instruments player and Vienna Ensemble.
