Microtub is the world’s first microtonal tuba ensemble. In 2009, Robin Hayward developed the first fully microtonal tuba in collaboration with the German instrument manufacturer B&S, and Microtub was established the following year. Since then, they have released two albums on the Norwegian label SOFA, and in February 2017 their third album Bite of the Orange will be released on the same label. They are currently exploring the possibilities that lie in the tuning system known as Just intonation. As a tool for composing the music they are using the Hayward Tuning Vine interface. Microtub is Robin Hayward (microtonal F tuba), Martin Tax (microtonal C tuba) and Peder Simonsen (microtonal C tuba).
