Meinl-Weston / Melton CC-Tuba 5450 "Thor"The new CC-Tuba 5450 is a real all-round instrument with alot of "hammer" sound - this newly designed model features a great resonance, a solid low register and a huge sound.

So it was no surprise that Jens Björn-Larsen from Denmark immediately found the perfect name for the new CC-Tuba model 5450: "Thor" - in Scandinavian and Germanic mythology, Thor is the god of thunder!
