What changes for you

• Working with it is easy and needs no finishing. The laser-cut edges are smooth and the silhouette is cleanly cut out.

• You get a piece with character. The typical brown laser edge frames the motif. It looks finished even without paint.

Why this tuba wooden cutout makes a difference in everyday use

A wooden music motif sets the mood in a room straight away. You might place it on the music society's banquet table, on a gift for a tuba player or on the pinboard in the rehearsal room. Wherever it is, the silhouette shows at a glance what it's all about. Instead of random paper decorations, you have a wooden cutout in your hands. Its smooth surface can be painted, decorated or written on. And you can use it again and again. So a simple cutout becomes a finished design element that you can use straight away for your occasion.

Material & finish

The tuba is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. That's where the smooth edges come from. It also explains the characteristic brown rim that outlines the motif. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. Paints, glue and oils adhere well, and you decide on the finish yourself. As a natural material, wood is never completely uniform. Variations in shade, fine grain patterns and small knots are normal. They make every piece unique. Every tuba is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the wooden tuba

• At the music society's annual concert: put a small tuba at every place on the banquet table. Guests know as soon as they sit down that music is being celebrated here.
• Crafting with children or at music school: every child gets to paint their own tuba. At the end, they take home a keepsake they designed themselves.
• As a gift tag: tie a motif with writing on it to the parcel for the musician in the family. The present is clearly recognisable as a gift for a musician from the outside, before it's even opened.
• In a shop or café during concert season: arrange several sizes in the shop window or on the counter. The decoration is quick to set up and shows a clear theme.
• For a club anniversary or the rehearsal room: use a large 50 cm tuba as a wall motif. Leave it natural or paint it in your club colours. The room shows at a glance what you love.

Good to know about the tuba

The tuba is the lowest instrument in the brass family. In wind orchestras and brass bands, it forms the foundation of the sound. Its name comes from Latin and simply means “tube” or “trumpet”. That's why its unmistakable silhouette is a popular motif when music societies, wind orchestras or tuba players are honoured and celebrated.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Stored somewhere dry, the untreated tuba keeps its natural look for a long time. Avoid constant moisture. If you'd like to make the motif more durable, simply paint, oil or varnish it.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint or decorate the tuba? Yes. The plywood is untreated and left natural. You can paint it, decorate it, coat it or oil it.

Why do the edges have a brown rim? The tuba is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown rim that neatly frames the motif. The edges are smooth.

Do all cutouts look the same? The shape is identical, the wood is not. As a natural material, it shows variations in shade, grain patterns and occasionally small knots. Every piece is unique.

Which size suits my project? You choose any height between 10 and 50 cm in 1 cm steps. Small sizes work well for tags and table scatter. Large motifs suit walls and shop windows.
