Pleased you like the new website. It is not quite finished, so more will be going up, but I wanted it to go live before the US Army workshop.

Please note there is now just one website http://www.Wessex-Tubas.com for customers around the world, which through clever technology presents the relevant currency and contact details according to where you are.

Jonathan, are you selling any Wessex brass instruments to the British military?

Ace

Owned by players in military bands, but not yet direct to British military - we need to be approved as authorised supplier to the MOD first.

I hadn't even seen the change to the Wessex website until I saw this post. Thanks! I see there were some stock changes too. No more BBb contrabass trombone...

Also, am I the only one who thinks that it's weird that fluglehorns aren't in the trumpet section, but instead in the brass band section?

Doesn't wessex have a physical building here in the USA? It would be nice to include a contact number for us on this side of the pond so we don't have to pay for an international phone call

I will look at the navigation on my return to UK.

Flugelhorn are under brass band and horns. I would not consider them trumpets.

The system should present you with correct contact for your location. Are you not seeing the US contact details? If you can send me screenshot, then I will get it looked into. Like any IT development there are teething problems which we are sorting as they come to light. Below is what I am seeing from Michigan. If you are in USA and not getting those contact details using US network, then please let me know

I've never heard the term "Double Plug Bass Trombone" before... just me?

Nice pictures!

Yeah. I was bummed that the prototype wasn't at NAMM. I really wanted to give it a toot.

Just checked out the website. Looks great!

Jonathan, what can you tell us about the sousaphone gig bag? No picture yet.

As you've probably heard from us disgruntled sousaphonists, there is much room for improvement in the world of sousaphone bags. Glad to see you're throwing your hat in the ring!

I will try and get pictures up soon. The design is very similar to ProTech sousaphone gig bag

Are there any specs for the Young1R mouthpiece? Which horn was it designed for? Thanks.

Hmm, nice look, but I really miss the browsing menu you had before. And seen from DK, it shows prices in US Dollar, but Pound Sterling would be preferred seen from anywhere in the EU ... so much for clever technology ... maybe a manual switch from British to American would be preferrable?? Just a thought.

From the "German Tenor Horn" page: "This is the correct horn for playing the solo in Mahler’s Symphony No 7. It is a lovely playing instrument with destructive tone."

Somehow I don't think "destructive" is what you meant. Maybe "distinctive".

Always responsive to customer feedback, your wish has been applied - although it in the form of selection list, so as not to mess up format of website
