Advert: Wessex Tubas

It's not only tubas we sell at Wessex — so why not find out more by giving us a ring or by seeing us in Bradford and Perth.

Wessex Tubas
 

Because of its name, many people may think that Wessex Tubas just sells – well, tubas. But not a bit of it!!

Tubas to sopranos

We are also making huge strides in the market place with the full range of our excellent instruments – from tubas to soprano cornets.

We also provide more exotic instruments too – not easily available elsewhere in the UK, such as German rotary valve brass, contrabass trombone, bass trumpet and sousaphones.

Free blowing cornet

Amongst the brass band line up is a free blowing Bb cornet with red brass leadpipe, all nickel-silver slides, beautiful singing voice and spot on intonation. It’s a professional standard cornet for only £225 in lacquer, or £275 in silver.

It’s well worth any band or individual on a budget considering before you opt for any other rivals.
