The latest development of Wenzel Meinl with Prof. Mel Culbertson resulted in the introduction of the new F-Tuba 46S-LP "Titan" - the first models have now been delivered to France and Spain.

This model is based on the successful F-Tuba 45S-LP, but is more oriented towards the European taste with its 6 valve setup:

6/4 size
4 front action piston steel valves (Big Valve)
Bore: .748in (4th valve: .787in)
left hand activated 5th (long wholestep) and 6th (long halftone) rotary valves (.767in)
Bell diameter: 16.5in
Halftone trigger (left hand thumb operated)

The 46S-LP "Titan" also has a special hand engraving "Titan" and is always gold lacquered.
