I'd also appreciate some feedback! Looks like an interesting little horn.

Re: Wessex TE495 Danube Rotary Eb
Hopefully there will be a Norwegian Star at US Army for people to compare.
It is a tuba of which Wessex are proud to bring to market. Andy Loree cannot decide which he prefers, this or the Gnagey piston valve Eb - they are both good. On trying the one at US Army remember that it is a prototype. The production Danube will have 20mm larger diameter bell of gold brass. I decided slightly more breath/warmth of tone would be good.
