Advert: Wessex Tubas

There is a fantastic new addition to the Wessex Tuba range — and perfect for all trombonists.

Hoehler Artist trombone
 

There is a fantastic new instrument to get your hands on from Wessex Tubas – and it’s perfect for any aspiring trombone player.

New trom

We have introduced the beautiful new Hoehler Artist model 0.547" bore Bb tenor trombone with rose brass bell and nickel slides.

Note the curved hand brace which is to become special feature of Wessex trombones, so not only does it look good, its feels good and plays brilliantly too!

Designed

The trombone was designed in collaboration with American trombonist, Chip H Hoehler who has previously worked with Martin and Holton on trombone design.

It plays freely and has gorgeous tone, and as has become our unique selling point – it comes at a very reasonable price. It is a must try trombone!
