Re: Wessex Leviathan
I was startled looking at the Wessex pages and seeing that the Champion 3+1 compensating Eb is gone.

Re: Wessex Leviathan
There have been some updates taking place this week. You may have seen the new currency selector on website, so for example Canadians can now see prices in Canadian dollars. GC, It is possible you checked while site was being updated and as a result the Champion was not easy to find. Sorry to cause you concern!UncleBeer wrote:I'm still seeing it: https://wessex-tubas.com/collections/eb ... pion-te560GC wrote:I was startled looking at the Wessex pages and seeing that the Champion 3+1 compensating Eb is gone.
While posting, I will point out several horns are currently at reduced sale price (including the 6/4 CC’s), to help customers if you want to purchase and learn new horn during shelter.
I hope you are all keeping well? I am sorry Wessex can’t be exhibiting at the regional ITEC’s in the current difficult period. You all keep safe, and hope to see you later in the year.

Re: Wessex Leviathan
Thanks. For a little while it was showing 8 Eb's and the Champion was gone, but it's now back and the item count is 9.

Re: Wessex Leviathan
Thank you Steve Marcus for the very kind words! Just for fun I tried the Leviathan in a jazz setting, a little unconventional for a 6/4 . Hope this post works:

Re: Wessex Leviathan
I bought one of these monsters on Friday. It's beautifully made, huge and wonderful to play. I'm an EEb player normally, but wanted something with real deep presence ; I've tried a few BBb tubas and struggled to make a decent sound, but the Leviathan is in a different class.
Wholeheartedly recommend you try it, then you'll buy it!
