Wessex Tubas has announced the new exclusive Wessex 'Solo' Eb compensated tuba is now just a phone call away!
More value
Fitted with 16.75" bell, the brilliant instrument adds yet more value to the popular 19" bell models, with new more compact bell.
The smaller bell provides a more focused and colourful tone with no loss in projection.
Ideal
It is ideal for solo playing, brass quintet, orchestra and brass band – making it perhaps one of the best all purpose tubas around.
It is fitted as standard with a gold brass bell, new valve buttons with black pearl inserts, 4th slide water key, easy pull ring on 3rd compensating slide, Meadsprings and removable water gutter under valves.
Testing
The photo above shows tuba virtuoso Ian Foster testing out one of the prototypes.
Both he and Jonathan Hodgetts of Wessex Tubas are delighted with how the new tuba has turned out.
Jonathan told 4BR: "It's tone is gorgeous and it projects so well that you have to question if this is the best size bell for EEb tuba? Even players with 19" bell EEb should consider this instrument.2
