Has anyone had a chance to play the newest Wessex PT10 clone F tuba? They list it as their "Strauss" model. First impressions? Intonation? Sound quality?
All thoughts appreciated (positive and negative). Thanks for your help!

Re: Wessex PT10 clone review?
I played on one a couple weeks ago. It's a very large F. Good intonation and great sound. My tastes in F tubas runs to smaller instruments, but this one seems quite good for a big F. The comment from another pro tubist that day was that it was a better playing horn than the original.tubaport wrote:Has anyone had a chance to play the newest Wessex PT10 clone F tuba?

Thanks, Sam. I'm hoping to play one soon. Did you play a lacquer or silver one?
