Advert: Wessex Tubas

Make sure you get around the country to try out the fantastic range of Wessex Tuba instruments.

Wessex Tubas
 

During the next few weeks Wessex Tubas will be exhibiting around the country giving outstanding opportunities to see and try our fantastic range of instruments — including the fantastic new BBb Mighty Midget mini tuba.

Ideal

This tuba is smaller than a euphonium, but puts out a really good broad bass tone making it ideal for standing gigs and those that find the traditional BBb bass too big to handle.

Wessex will also have on show the new Solo EEb tuba with 425mm bell, the increasingly popular Dolce euphonium, two new models of full size rotary BBb bass and new range of Artiste trombones all with rose brass bell and comfortable curved hand brace — which need to be tried to believe how well they play...and a lot more too!

Venues

• 2nd November — Torquay at SWBBA Contest (Riviera International Conference Centre)

• 17th November — Altrincham, Cheshire at National Concert Band Festival (Altrincham Grammar School for Boys)

• 24th November — Cheltenham at National Concert Band Festival (Cheltenham Ladies' College)

• 1st December — Southampton at National Concert Band Festival (Richard Taunton VI Form College)
