2155 Model Warren Deck
This instrument is another result of the continuing cooperation of Meinl-Weston with Warren Deck. It was designed to perform equally as a great orchestral instrument as well as a quintet horn.
After years of design work and testing, Meinl-Weston is proud to present its line of professional CC Tubas.
Each instrument is engineered to fulfill specific needs of the modern tubist while maintaining a dense, rich characteristic sound which has long been associated with the Meinl-Weston instruments. In order to produce a line of instruments particularly suited to the American market, each instrument was designed in close cooperation with many professional tubists. All instruments feature ergonomic design making these instruments particularly comfortable and easy to play. Main tuning slides are vertical pull and valve slides are arranged for easy access.

Warren Deck's Comments on the 2155
"The 2155 has all of the tonal qualities of the 2165, The sound is leaner (has less breadth), but easily expands as the player increases volume without breaking up or losing sound quality. Poor sound quality when playing loud is my major complaint with existing smaller CC-Tubas and is the reason I never wanted to play one .. until now."
"The 2155 is also nimble, speaks quickly and is much friendlier than the 2165. Because of it's wide dynamic range, I plan to play the instrument for the New York Philharmonic's lighter repertoire programs, including the Berlioz Hungarian March, Franck Symphony in d Minor, Ravel and more."
"The 2155 will most certainly ease the burden of the decision making process for many Tuba students (and their parents) who can afford to buy only one instrument. I think it is the best solution yet to a problem that has been around for a long, long time."
